Showing filename while extracting

Hi,
Would be nice to see the current filename in the “Extracting Files…” Dialog.
Now I only see “Current File”. When I have open multiple extracting dialogs, I don’t see which has already finished.

Thanks
Eric

I think the problem is the example in manual is wrong since it doesn’t use the {p} option but is supposed to be an example of how to use the {p} option. I found this incredibly hard to decipher, and really don’t understand why SFX wouldn’t run the command line in the root extracted folder, especially when you set something like the default extract to temp folder. This could do with a lot of improvement, and better documentation.

@alextorex: Hi I need this feature quite badly. For example, I need to delete archives immediately after a archive is extracted so I can free up space for extracting another archive. Also in case of creating archives I need to delete automatically files archived. I don’t see how some other tool/script can do this since it does not know when Power Archiver finished an archive job in queue. Please check “Extract Now” free software which supports this feature very well. As a suggestion you could consider adding ability to run scripts triggered by events (archive job finished) and pass parameters to script with name of archive extracted (in case of extraction) or name of folder archived (in case of archiving). I can understand that this feature can be quite problematic to implement but would give me some solution to write my own script. Extract Now is truly the solution that I’ve been looking for… thank you so much for this recommendation! Power Archive was such a good software to use for most things and for many years have been following its progress, but given that the most important thing we dont have these days is time, the feature that Extract Now gives for free is actually one of the top feature that I would have easily be willing to pay for… I’m so compelled to post this message because I feel strongly that this feature is a huge time saver and should be integrated into PA asap… the feature to ‘move’ original archive files ‘after’ its been extracted so that its not instantly deleted would have solved a lot of the concern people have of loosing something they’re not aware, it gives them the ability to double check that the extraction was successfull then they can just simply delete the ‘extracted archives’. If most of the feature from Extract now could be build into PA, Power Archiver will be indeed the archiving software that is truly powerful. Right now I can breath easier knowing that things are going to be better for me after I found Extract Now… a software I would have been willing to pay good money for, even if its free its worth supporting. Currently letting it go thru the whole folders of archives and doing stuff that I would have normally had to do manually that is, unzip and delete over and over again. (could have written a batch file in dos probably to take care of it, but couldnt be bothered)

I’m quite happy with that as long as it’s an option. I prefer seeing just the file name. On a similar vain, I wish the grey bar below the toolbar would shorten the path when using a system folder, so: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Stephen\Eigene Dateien\Archive.zip becomes: Eigene Dateien\Archive.zip

@TBGBe: Why do you want a “license window” on an Archive? It sounds like you actually want to create an installer not an archive. I’m sure this i what Wandus want. To create a simple sfx used for installations like Winzip self-extractor (the separate product) and WinRAR can do. PA can create sfx as well, but winrar and the winzip self extractor are simply better for that purpose. It’s not a replacement for installshield and similar products that is a lot more advanced, but a simple sfx module to distribute software. I agree with Wandus that a better sfx module in PA would be nice so i vote for this as well.
