Since I'm too lazy to right-click -> Extract zipped files, I'm used to dragging contents from zipped files to where I want them.
I found that doing this through Files doesn't work properly yet, so I am still extracting via Windows Explorer.
Issue:
I've taken a named folder from a .zip archive in Windows Explorer, and dragged it into Files, in a directory where a folder with the same name exists. Files asks to "replace" the folder with the same name, but does not mention replacing any of its contents. Clicking on Accept, replaces the existing named folder with a new, completely empty folder. All of the data is overwritten.
First time I noticed this was on 3.2.3.0, and I thought 3.3.0.0 might fixed this. So I uninstalled 3.2.3.0 and re-installed to 3.3.0.0 after.
Steps To Reproduce
Create a regular file structure: E:\Testing\FolderA(any content)
Create a zip file, containing any folder with an equal name: E:\File.zip\FolderA(any content)
Open the path E:\Testing in Files
Open the path E:\File.zip in Windows Explorer
Drag File.zip\FolderA from Explorer to E:\Testing in Files
Upon notification "Conflicting file name(s)", select Replace existing for FolderA and then Continue
End result: E:\Testing\FolderA is now completely empty.
Requirements
I expected the extraction to result in E:\Testing\FolderA being filled/mixed with the content from E:\File.zip\FolderA, or a failure to extract.
Thank you for the report, we'll try to sort this out but in the meantime, you might be interested in the ctrl + e and ctrl + shift + e keyboard shortcuts which auto extract archives.
