Unzipping multiple password-protected files?
-
I have a backup set created by a different program that contains a few thousand files, in which each file is compressed and encrypted individually with the standard ZIP algorithm and AES-256. There is also a directory structure.
Example:
Directory 1 - file 1.zip
file 2.zip
file 3.zip
Subdirectory 1 - file 1.zip
file 2.zip
file 3.zip
Directory 2 - file 1.zip
file 2.zip
file 3.zip
file 4.zip
and so onNow, I would to extract a couple of hundred files from this backup with PowerArchiver (I do not like the restoration procedure that this other program offers).
I have two problems:
a) PowerArchiver asked me for the password for each file. However, the password is the same for every file in the backup set. Can I make PowerArchiver remember the password and only ask me again if a different password is required within an unzipping session?
b) The existing directory structure got lost. All files - no matter which directory they were located in - were extracted into one single directory. Can I do anything about that?

a. At this point you can use PPM? (check options)
b. what about using extract to filename\subfolder?thanks,

a. At this point you can use PPM? (check options)
b. what about using extract to filename\subfolder?a) I looked into the options and the password manager is enabled (i.e. there is a cross in the appropriate checkbox). But still PowerArchiver does not remember the password, I have to enter it for every archive. What could be the reason for that?
All the archive (ZIP) files have different names, but that shouldn’t be a problem, right? They all have the same password.Since it is folder with many subfolders and many individually compressed ZIP files, I went to PowerArchiver’s Tools and used its multi-unpack function (I am not sure if that is the right term, I have a German version here).

ah, yes - PPM works per file :-).
I believe that upcoming PA 2007 will have some changes to help in this case.

OK, good to know. Thanks for your replies.
