    There may be a better way, but I use the option to extract the file to a new folder with the same name as the zip file.

        What you want to do to be fast at this is to learn command line operations. Then you can write a script consisting of a sequence of commands you want to run on each zip file. In a unix system the “touch” command will update a file’s timestamp to the present.

    Just put the .7zip file in a folder by itself, right click it and click extract here from the list, then you’re set since whatever was extracted will be the only thing in the folder other than the .7zip file

      thanks. it is not very fast, especially when not extract all files inside the zip. Someone post about holding shift key while drag n drop, will try this later

    It seems like using the command line of 7zip would work, but I can’t find a switch for it. If that’s not an option, there are GUI and CLI programs to “touch” files to give them the current date and time.
