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

Hello, I’ve been looking for ages for a unrar-utility that will continue extracting the archive even if a part is missing at that time. The reason for this is that I regularly download movies from usenet, which are always in spanned rar-archives. The idea is that I begin downloading a movie, once the first rar is dl’d, I immediately begin extracting it, so that an incomplete .avi appears, which can then be played without problems with VLC media player. Now it would be perfect if PowerArchiver would detect when a new part of the archive is available, and immediately continue extracting it in the background. It seems to me a relatively simple feature to implement, and I would be really grateful if it could be done. TIA

When i extract an archive test.zip ____\file.txt to subfolder of C: then powerarchiver creates C:\test\file.txt This is good When i extract an archive with only one subfolder test.zip ____\test ________\file.txt to subfolder of C: then powerarchiver creates C:\test\test\file.txt This i dont like I wish the extract to subfolder would not create the first test subfolder when there is only one subfolder in the archive.

@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)
