Introduction
This script contains the most commonly used 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, so no relying on the host to have 7z options in their registry. In addition, there are a few other unique commands that integrate nicely with an XY workflow...

Code: Select all

Extract to "*\": Extract each selected archive into its own folder
Extract here: Extract each selected archive into the current folder
-
Extract to "*\" in other pane: Extract each selected archive into its own folder in the inactive pane
Extract to other pane: Extract each selected archive into the inactive pane
-
Extract to "*\" in real folder: Extract each selected archive into its own folder relative to the archive's absolute path, useful when searching across a tree structure for archives located in various folders
Extract to real folder: Extract each selected archive into the same folder as the archive's absolute path, useful when searching across a tree structure for archives located in various folders
-
Create .7z(s): Quickly create a separate .7z for each selected list item
Create .zip(s): Quickly create a separate .zip for each selected list item
Create .cbz(s): Quickly create a separate .cbz for each selected list item
-
Add to Archive...: Create a single archive out of the selected list item(s) using the full GUI 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, or anywhere else on your system.
• 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

wow i saw ur script in your signature looks great, im a beginner user of Xy and i feel i really need to dig in to see all the gems this app can do !

thanks !

Pushed v2.0, which adds a handful of new commands and fixes one that wasn't working right. I also made it more portable than before, so now it's not hard-coded to look for the script's folder in the <xyscripts> directory.

Wow, what a cool useful script.. Thanks for sharing this, and the portable tweak you added.

There are so many 'Hot Tips' hidden away in this forum, I wish there was a future way to 'flag' them somehow...
A great one was in this post from 2022, from 'Horst', ..asking for: 'Extract into the current other pane folder',
-- Which is such a great user tip for productivity! ...'WirlyWirly' bubbled all this into 2025 with his new little 'tweaks' to the code.

Many Thanks.
