Whether a folder is generated or not is likely dependent on which extraction tool you (as in: the extractor) use and how you use it, so at one end you end up with zero or one folder depending on usage, and in the other you'll end up with one or two, so regardless of which you chose some people will get (mildly) unhappy.
I've usually used 7-zip, and the auto download of the later 0.40.24 based packs resulted in a single folder. For some reason I've ended up with a trial version (now expired, it seems) of express zip, and that's likely the cause for the last pack to get double folders.

You can use rar extractors on trial version till the end of days man, you just have to deal with the little popup which is no big deal. Or you can spend $29 to get rid of said little popup, what ever floats your boat. The reason a folder or something may not be extracted is because you clicked on a folder and forgot to clear that by clicking on the folder with the .... after it at the top. Not that I didn't buy it, it'd be dumb to admit something like that.

Just use 7zip; it's open source and handles anything.

The downside to 7zip is it's a bit slower. Trying to extract just one file and it goes through the whole process like you asked it to extract the entire archive. Do the same thing in WinRar and it just pulls the one file very quickly. Not a big deal unless you're dealing with huge archives though.

I'm back to 7-zip with no problems. My description about the single/double folders was using the automated process for updating LNP, so there was no actions on my part except for starting the update (and hence no selection clicking for the unpacking phase).
The expiration thingie was when trying to compress a save for bug reporting, and, again, using 7-zip works for me.

Well, using both, WinRAR (I even bought it a few years ago), and 7Zip, because both got a few minor functions the other doesn't have, but which I use quite often.

In the end it doesn't matter which tool to use to extract, just use it correctly.

FYI, the version of Phoebus you have set as default in 0.42.03-r1 has a different font from all the other Phoebuses included. Not sure if that was your intent or not.

EDIT: Here's a picture:



On the left is what the pack installed as the default Phoebus tileset. On the right is one of the Phoebus variants, demonstrating how the font usually looks.

That might have been me. Can you send me a pm what's the problem with the font? ttf? Or the tileset?

Could we get a general idea of when DFHack will be released?

a few days/weeks no one knows for sure, there is pressure and demand for it just sit tight

There is no real way of knowing.  It's like this every major release.  Not a complaint; just reality.  After a huge release, all the tools and mods have to overhaul, but while they are doing that, Toady is also making a bunch of rapid releases to update, fix, alter, and add to the major release that he just made.  DFHack is still working on accommodating 42.00. The base game is 3 releases past that. Its going to be perpetual catch up until the big bug smashing work is done.  Eventually all the stuff that is wanted in this major release will be done, all the tools will catch up, and we'll settle into another year or 3 while he works on the next major update. It'll just take a bit of time.

0.42.01 was the first 0.42 release. There haven't really been many changes in DF since then, so we've mostly been working on fixing issues new to 0.42, which is coming along fairly well.

Apparently the "data/init/macros" folder (empty by default) is missing from this pack, which means saving macros doesn't work at all.

Edit: reported here

So that's why my macros didn't load again... I thought I'd forgotten to save them.

Thanks, I can fix that pretty easily - that'll be what was breaking Quickfort.
