extract many archive files (zip etc) at once
extract many archive files (zip etc) at once
Hi,
first of all - thanks for the great piece of software!
One small proposal:
a possibility to unzip (unpack/extract) several files at once would be great, eg. select archive files, and choose "extract all here" from the right-click menu (or from a plugin menu).
Now, when I have lots of .bz2 files in a directory to be extracted, I must either extract them one by one, or use some external tool to do it.
Thanks for reading this,
Vygi

ROADMAP > Unpack multiple archives by one command.
Maybe the Altap stuff should insert something like this on the top of this forum

There is already Forum Index -> Feature Requests -> Before you post.
I'm afraid we don't know a way to force people to read before posting

I solved this problem via infozip:vygi wrote:a possibility to unzip (unpack/extract) several files at once would be great, eg. select archive files, and choose "extract all here" from the right-click menu (or from a plugin menu).
- Configuration > Archivers > Unpackers in...
- New entry "UNZIP all (InfoZIP)":
-- external program
-- file mask: "zip"
-- Command: "D:\Tools\Packer\unzip" (your path here!!)
-- Argument: ""$(ArchivePath)\*.zip""
Kind regards, KNUT

Also there is a third party tool (which works in context menu and by proxy works also in SS) called Unziplify. It's incredibly useful. It will dive deep, deep, deep.KNUT wrote:I solved this problem via infozip:vygi wrote:a possibility to unzip (unpack/extract) several files at once would be great, eg. select archive files, and choose "extract all here" from the right-click menu (or from a plugin menu).

Unziplify is also free. If you use it as much as I do though, donate, so he will continue supporting it
How does infozip work? Is it an option to recursively extract (I don't see an option on argument field).

Hi,
I just add my 2 cents: WinRAR contains shell context menu for unpacking more archives at once (just select them in Salamander and do a Right-Click). It can unpack all archives to one folder or each archive to its own folder. As WinRAR have support for uncopressing almost all archive types, it solves this problem quite nicely.
On the other side, WinRAR is comercial software and costs around €30 You can evaluate WinRAR for 40 days. The program itself keeps running without any problems when the 40 days are over.

What about open source 7-zip?

KNUT, what about free single user license WinRAR 3.51 for home?
My deepest apologies for my awful English.
www.fforum.ru looks very strange for me...maxovt wrote:KNUT, what about free single user license WinRAR 3.51 for home?

www.Rarlabs.com offered WinRAR 3.5.1 for free as a promotion some time ago. All the (promotional) keys were the same, & are only valid for the 3.5.1 version of the program.
Now technically, the promotion is over & has been for a long time now.
Guess you could email them & ask if they'd still allow usage of the older version of RAR & the key.

You can use the builtin Windows unzip function in a VBScript like this:
This will unpack a zip file into a folder with the same name and can be used with multiple files selected in a panel.
Arguments in the User Menu settings have to be "$(FullName)"
Code: Select all
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objSA = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
ZipFile=objArgs(0)
l=InStrRev(ZipFile,".zip")
If l>0 Then
UnzipTarget= Mid(ZipFile,1,l-1)
If Not objFSO.FolderExists(UnzipTarget) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(UnzipTarget)
objSA.NameSpace(UnzipTarget).CopyHere(objSA.NameSpace(ZipFile).items)
End If

I was used infozip by this thread, but recursive unziping will be much better!
