Originally created by @SoulPancake on GitHub (Apr 16, 2023).

Originally assigned to: @jamespack on GitHub.

Windows Terminal version

1.12.10983.0

Windows build number

10.0.22624.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

On windows 11
If you open a zip file directly and you're within the folder of the extracted zip via explorer
then on right clicking you get the Open With Terminal option but clicking that doesn't do anything

Expected Behavior

It should either eliminate the option itself or return an alert or an error
Or it should somehow trace the directory of the actual temporary folder where it extracts the zip and open that up via the terminal on clicking the option

Actual Behavior

Clicking on it does nothing but the option remains so it feels like bug

@jamespack commented on GitHub (Apr 23, 2023):

I think this is fairly easy to fix. We can check if an item is both a folder and a stream and if so disable the command.

Happy to PR it. Unless you want to do something more sophisticated than that :)

Yep, we're cool just disabling it in this case. Really seems like this is something that the modern file explorer extensions should have caught for us, but 🤷
