@cha05e90: 
 
Ai! I'm rather surprised to hear this. 
Yes please send me a crashlog!

Ui - crashes with "Recoberable Alert" on both systems (SAM440ep/PegasosII, OS4.1u3) after closing the program with "Cancel". Afterwards the systems are unstable/unusable (cold reboot needed. Should I send you a crashlog?

Yep! I know that feeling. I too hate, really HATE, it when archives unpack and place their contents hither and tither at the unpacking location, which btw, for me is 'T:'. So, all in all I want this aspect solved first thing, but NOT in a manual way. I want to have the computer do that for me. Automagically. Without me interfering. I hate, really HATE, interfering with processes which should be performing of their own accord. ;-)

But users hate (really hate) create directories manually when unpack something :)

Ah, it's you again, eh? ;-) 
 
What I meant to say is, that I have not found an easy and integrated way to achieve this. I hate, and i really HATE, a manual approach. That manual part is in the creation of a directory with a non-fixed (i.e. the '_V2.5') part in its name. 
 
I may build a little tool for just doing that, now I think of it...

Huh? Too hard to make up a project directory and lha this? ;) 
 
Just make a directory called "WBMakelink_V2.5" (e.g. in RAM:, or cd to the "Projects" directory, where the wbmakelink_V2.5 directory resides), copy executable and other files there and give the shell a 
 
"lha a -rx wbmakelink.lha WBMakelink_V2.5" 
 
and if you wnt to give it the directory icon, too, give it a last 
 
"lha a wbmakelink.lha WBMakelink_V2.5.info" 
 
I did this with all my projects until now, not very hard to do ;)

Well, SFS does not yet implement file links does it? Or was it hard links; I 
just downloaded wbmakelink.lha and confirmed that the links are file links and 
not something else, from the readme. So with FFS it should work fine.

Why's that? I like the sound of this. Why would SFS cause a problem?

Can this be used on SFS volumes? I don't think that would be wise..
