windows-auto-unzipper's Issues

Unzipper doesn't work with Firefox

When downloading a zipped file (or any other file) in Firefox, Firefox will make a .part file where the data is written to, but it will also make the finished file, just without any data until the download completes after which, the .part file will be deleted and the "regular" file will be openable as expected. The issue is, that Windows-Auto-Unzipper will immediately try to unzip the empty .zip file (while the file is still downloading). This results in an empty folder with the same name as the downloaded .zip file.
