Context Menu: Multi-Extract files->multiple folders
-
ah … tsk tsk … ahum… :o :o
Thanks!
it was the last option I did nót add to context menu and have to confess I did not check it (more or less assuming it was not possible I only checked the forum).
Deep sigh … :oDon’t dare to ask but… if I have a number of single files and I want to extract into different folders in a new subfolder.
so:
x:\temp
blabla - file1.rar
this is - file2.rar
another-file3.rarto
x:\other folder\bla bla - file1
etc.So I cud select and drop them elsewhere and hv them extracted in the above way.
A kind of Create New Folder to extract to…Something like the below.

why not just use extact with options? no need to drag and drop…
-
guess (optional) context menu items are faster?
-
it would still load options screen though, where you would have to enter the file name you would want.
-
Yep. My current filehandler has these options (copy/move to). It works great. I drag and drop files to a subfolder, it autofills the path, you only need to insert the last folder name.
Like:

Well anyway… was just an idea.:)

so you want Compress + Options, with preffiled path that is taken from drag and drop folder?

No, extract.
The idea was: I have -say- 3 different zip/rar files in my downloadfolder, select them all, thén I want to use “Extract to \filename”, but then in a different folder (e.g. temp).I guess the easiest way (minimum of mouseclicks) wud be by drag and drop them into \temp whilst using the extract to \filename
When I do this now, select 3 files, drag drop them elsewhere, I have the flwg items in my context menu
- extract here
- extract to x\folder\filename\
However, in this case, filename are not 3 separate folders, but just 1.

yeah, i meant extract… long day at the office ;-)
-
No problem, but I guess my suggestion still stands then? :)
I.e. select different single (not a part-set) archive files, drag-and-drop them elsewhere and to be extracted as single archives. Same as extract to \filename, but then in a different folder.
thanks. -
you want extract with options, with prepopulated extract to field (with drag and drop destination entered there).
-
yep. like in my below posting with the little screendump, where ‘move’ obviously shd be replaced by ‘extract’.
