Here it looks like this with results from several folders
Looks are OK, but when you actually would 'extract to separate folders' and possibly more options, you will notice that it will be executed wrong, because those shell extensions are not prepared to handle files from different folders.
7-zip will extract only the files from the first folder it sees in the list, whereas WinRar extarct all files to the second folder (with files from 2 different folders).
The screenshot is from Total Commander, which in my testing does work correctly: multiple files from multiple folders are all extracted to the destination folder.
I replaced the 64-bit context menu of XYPlorer with a different one (because much faster and less missing entries) and had that same issue.
Can I ask how you did that and what you replaced the 64-bit context menu with?

Hi Don,
Code: Select all
v21.70.0104 - 2021-05-01 18:09
+ File | File Special | Extract Here: Now it also supports RAR files (WinRAR
has to be installed), and it will extract all selected files (not only the
focused one). Note that you can extract ZIP and RAR files in one go, and
they can be from different locations.
+ Custom Context Menu | Zip: Now the commands "Extract Here" and "Extract to
[folder]" will extract all selected files (not only the focused one). Note
that you can extract ZIP and RAR files in one go, and they can be from
different locations.
If more than one file is selected the menu item caption "Extract to
[folder]" is changed to "Extract Each Archive to Separate Folder".
+ Edit | Paste Special | Paste Extracted: Now it also supports RAR files
(WinRAR has to be installed), and it will extract all selected files (not
only the focused one). Note that you can extract ZIP and RAR files in one
go, and they can be from different locations.
Thank you for the new functionality in 21.70.0104
! The one thing usability-wise would be an additional right-click option to extract the multiple files to a different folder (with folder picker); copy and then paste special > paste extracted, isn't very discoverable?

This picture was from my
Total Commander
And in TC entries for WinRAR and 7zip are working even with files from different locations
as I said above.

If you need "paste extracted" often you can assign a keyboard shortcut...
... well, let's see what other feedback comes in....

PS: next beta lets you right-drag your RARs onto a folder:
Code: Select all
+ Drag and Drop Context Menu: Now "Extract Here" also supports RAR files
(WinRAR has to be installed), and it will extract all dragged files (not
only the focused one). Note that you can extract ZIP and RAR files in one
go, and they can be from different locations.

Thank you so much Admin and all. Would be great to handle "extract to separate folder" for archive files found in different folders from hdd/ssd
Happy Easter!

Press SHIFT+ESC to open the 'alternative' contextmenu.
TCM64.exe can be downloaded
here (source available too).
Especially with multiple filetypes, TCM gives better results.
It is *almost* an in-place upgrade of
XY64ctxmenu.exe [1] if it were not for the way XYplorer.exe and XY64ctxmenu.exe communicate (a textfile with position and a list of files/fodlers is passed along)
[1] Make a backup copy of XY64ctxmenu.exe, save TCM64.exe as XY64ctxmenu.exe and open the 64-bit context menu to see what I mean. You can't actually use it though, just look.

Hello, updated to latest beta and extract to separate folder works for various archives from various folders, however, encountered a bug where extracting now create 4 folders if the archive has 4 parts for example.
Attached a screenshot to see what I mean. Each new created folder includes complete files, resulting 4 folders with same content, instead of 1 with extracted files from all 4 parts

Can't confirm. Two questions:
1. What WinRAR version are you using?
2. What is the value of
in XYplorer.ini?

If you mean that your rar archive is a multipart one and you drag and drop all parts
then I would expect that behaviour because WinRAR can't detect this condition.

Thats the same problem because WinRAR is invoked several times and can't detect this.

Is there a technical reason why it needs WinRAR instead of 7-zip?
