I’m not sure if this is relevant, seem to remember the question being asked before (and other Archive Utility Preference ones) for different OS’s, as per this search.

But never noticed this post which might contain the answer, in that Contextual Menu doesn’t employ said Archive Utility (or didn’t).

Hi, thanks fr your prompt answer.

errata: afeter=after

Noted: Archive Utility and contextual menu are two apps apart from each other!

So, how come Apple doesn´t find a way to make our life easier them?

It seems I can use a workaround solution:
