I posted this in the 7.8.0 feature request thread, but really it's a bug report so I guess it should be a separate topic.

I cannot get {EXTRACT} to work if the target has a space in the path:

 
'{EXTRACT} %CDROM%\\DVD-Apps\\FlexRena80.rar "%ProgramFiles%\\Flexible Renamer\\"' 
The above helpfully extracts to C:\Program ...

Maybe I've goofed somewhere, but if not, fixing that would allow be to package up some installers as .7z archives and drop them into the right place in one fell swoop.

{EXTRACT} "%root%\\Downloads\\WPI.rar" "W:\\Work\\WPI Test\\"


Put quotes around both paths, spaces or not. It's very finicky. When you use the file requester it does the quotes for you for the source.

Thanks - that's sorted it!
