#🔒 Extracting members of a zipfile leads to the whole path being saved in the given directory

Yeah so I'm trying to extract that .cbz file that you see in the second picture. It's alone nested inside the folder "3". However, when the thread runs, its extractions becomes several nested directories with the zipfile's members at the end. It works how it should in that part, but the nested directories shouldn't happen

def build_issues(file_path):

file_path = os.path.abspath(file_path)

base_path = pathlib.Path(file_path).parent

print("[build_issues] file_path (abs):", file_path)
print("[build_issues] extract to:", base_path)

with ZipFile(file_path,"r") as zObject:
    zObject.extractall(base_path)

print("Done")
return

An example of the filepath:
C:\Users\Nickz\OneDrive\Desktop\Code\website2\flaskr\static\Comics/justice-league-vs-suicide-squad-2016/Issues/4/issue-4.cbz

The difference of / and \ should be fixed when running abspath so that isn't an issue

I had made a .cbz converter that packs images into a .cbz file, but their names were saved as fullpaths instead of just page1, page2, etc.
