Yep, apparently its "by design" :(
It causes us pain regularly so we would like this fairly recent change reverted so behaviour is once again predicatable and it doesnt break simple takess like extracting archive.
Yes, yes. The pain. The pain. Danger Will Robinson!
There really is not much point in rehashing this again under a different subject.
If you or anyone would like to offer patches which change the behavior while keeping everyone happy about .exe handling please do so.
Isn't the commit which changed the behaviour stored so where, as this has worked fine in the past, so in theory it could be just applied in reverse?
Regards Steve
