Hi. Using the prgress setting item, you should be able to change the text for directory and filename, and the manual says that just putting > in the boxes should clear both texts, but the directory and filename still appear. Is this broken or am I doing something wrong?

I think you mean the output of Unpack Files command.
Progress Settings cannot change the output of this command.
I think you want that the user cannot see unpacking files.
In this case, we can add such feature into Unpack Files command.
