They extract fine if you go through the gui so you would only need to add context menu items for these. The simplest enhancement in the world probably! :-) Keep up the good work.
Re: req: and context menu items for .cbr & .cbz
This is a design decision that I've given a lot of thought to in the past. As you said, these are simply renamed Zip and RAR files, so simply adding a context menu entry to them would be easy to do. However, there are a LOT of variants of this. For example, .wsz (Winamp Skin), .xpi (Mozilla extension), .odt (OpenDocument Text), .jar (Java archive), .docx (Office 2007 XML) are all Zip files, and those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Should I add context entries for every single one of them, regardless of obscurity and practical use? Originally I did, but it led to too much clutter and association with files that had the same extension but were NOT extractable.
After I added filetype scanning with TrID in v1.5, I scaled back the associations to the common formats for each type. So, for example, .zip will be associated, but nothing else. All other extensions will still be supported, but as you noted this has to be done through the GUI. It's less convenient in some cases, but overall I think it's a better approach.
If you'd like enable this, you can actually setup the association yourself. In Windows Explorer click Tools, Folder Options, File Types. From here you can add a context menu association.

Re: req: and context menu items for .cbr & .cbz
I agree that you have some good reasons for implementing the context menu items in more cases. But how about a half-way solution: add some options window to UE where users can change/add the context menu settings and add support for .cbz .cbr through a checkbox. I know it can be done manually and I'll do that for now. But a simple GUI checkbox would be greatly preferred.
Re: req: and context menu items for .cbr & .cbz
This would be a really nice feature, but it'll take some work to implement. I'll add it to my todo file and consider it for the next major update.
