Use Midnight Commander like a pro (2015)
Depends on the archive type and how the vfs/extfs code was implemented for it¹. It also depends on how the archive is treated if it is compressed container, which can be seen by looking at how a .tar and .tar.xz are handled for example. The zip handler is probably the easiest to understand, as it doesn't need to contend with external compression wrappers and is a simple perl script.
Implementing your own extfs scripts to wrap a simple menu around some task can be really useful, far beyond basic archives. I wrote one so that I can shuffle my todo list priorities by moving fake "task files" in to different pseudo-directories.

I will consider a bug report, too bad you can't submit a ticket via github.

I really love how relative this feels, as for me "creator of mc¹" feels like the thing I owe him most thanks for. Every now and then I work on a project that is built on the foundations from mono, but all day I work in a way that uses mc.

The case of the jump into the middle of an instruction from nowhere (2023)
Well yeah, I mean no one forces you to use Explorer for file management under Windows. I'm an old-time Norton Commander user, and when Windows came around I switched to Total Commander. There are open-source alternatives too, even cross-platform ones, like this one: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/.
That being said, no one forces you to use Windows either - except maybe your employer or the software you are using, but this is getting less and less of a problem fortunately (web apps, ).

I've been looking for a Linux alternative ever since I mostly switched away from Windows a few years ago, and so far this one is the best FOSS alternative I found: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/ - it's even written in Pascal, same as TC.

Modern graphical file explorer
For me, a file manager simply has to work and offer a certain range of functions. That's why I use Double Commander myself. Is this tool modern in the sense that it is visually appealing? Or in the sense that it is created with a programming language that is currently popular? Definitely not.

Windows Explorer EXTREMELY Slow
For backing up files it might be worth using a different file management interface such as Double Commander(free) but is not particularly fast, MultiCommander or My Commander (free) which is supposed to be very fast.

Ask HN: Are people still using Pascal in 2023?
Indeed, it's built with Free Pascal and Lazarus.

- There is a great, free (not fake free, but really free) bulk file re-namer utility that everyone should know about. You can re-name hundreds of files in seconds which is good if things are named stupidly or you just like conformity.
