[XYScript] 7-ZipXY: The Right-Click Options

[WirlyWirly]

This script contains the 3 most useful 7-Zip commands, normally found in the right-click menu after installation. The only difference is that they've been re-written to be used portably by XY, no relying on the host to have these options in their registry.

• Extract to "*\": Extract each selected archive to its own folder
• Extract here: Extract each selected archive into the current folder
  -
• Extract to "*\" in other pane: Extract each selected archive to its own folder in the inactive pane
• Extract to other pane: Extract each selected archive into the inactive pane
  -
• Add to archive...: Create a single archive out of the selected items

Extractions display a progress bar


Add to Archive will display the full creation window with all accompanying options


Included with the script you'll find the folder 7-Zip64 (taken directly from 7-ZipPortable), which contains the file 7zG.exe. This is the executable that will extract/create archives while also generating the familiar GUI screens. I've also included a 7-Zip icon, if you want to spice up your CFI/Toolbar... It's snazzy!

Here's the link to the documentation if you'd like to add your own functionality.

Installation

• Download and extract the attached archive.
• Move the folder '7-ZipXY' to your <xyscripts> folder.
• Load the script using your preferred approach (Toolbar, hotkey, from another script, etc)
  Command = ::Load "<xyscripts>\7-ZipXY\7-ZipXY.xys";

I'm using my own 7z buttons but let me suggest one option for your script
which for me is the native way using a 2 pane mode.
Extract into the current other pane folder.

I use dual-panes myself but for some reason this had never even crossed my mind

Easy addition and could prove useful, added it to the script
