Lost arguments when extract_and_execute.

[filonenko-mikhail]

I use command line arguments for different application modes.
Also my app has check for updates task. I use extract_and_execute, and app lost its mode, because of empty command line.
Could you please copy sys.argv[1:] to command line of updated app instance?

@filonenko-mikhail Is it an auto-update sort of thing?

[filonenko-mikhail]

I can't say in general about it, but if you provide extract_and_execute api, it is more usable when programmer can setup execution of updated binary.

@filonenko-mikhail Do you have any suggestions on how you would implement this?

@JMSwag I also have this problem. My app needs parameters on initialization and those parameters are lost on restart/overwrite. @filonenko-mikhail have you found any other solution? Or do you keep an updated version of the library? Thanks!
