Indeed, that was the problem. All fixed now

Thank you to everyone who helped.

Sometimes it's hard for us long-time users to see a problem from a new user point of view! So we may overlook the obvious!

I don't think anyone who responded before would have ever thought that you had the parameters on the wrong line, maybe because we'd not do it ourselves...so that screen shot made it perfectly clear!

I was wondering if there is any way to combine UDC with a script?

For example, what I would like is for XYplorer to do this with one keystroke:

1. Extract RARs to the folder they are currently in.
2. Rename the resulting file to the name of the folder it's in.
3. Move it to next folder up in the tree.
4. (optional) delete the folder from where it was moved.

Is it a challenge? Or piece of cake? Cheers again!

Well, you know you have a category "Run Script" and another one "Load Script File" in your UDCs right ? So yeah, of course you can associate any KS of your choice with a script!

That's not quite what I meant. What I meant is: is it possible to combine a UDC (unrar files) with a script (rename to current folder) with move to next level up in a folder tree and delete (optional) the folder where unrar originally happened all into one sequential process?

Well, whatever it is your UDC does, you can do it using a script command to do the same, or just use its #ID to trigger that UDC, so possibilities are endless (or close

), "all it takes" is to work it out and write that script!

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought. I already have a UDC for UnRARing and a script for renaming into current folder. All I need is a UDC to move a level up, delete the folder and a way to combine all of the aforementioned into one UDC that executes sequentially.
