Zip extraction of multiple files

Hi everybody

Is there such a thing as zip extraction for multiple files?
With Right Click -> Zip -> Extract here it extracts the first of all selected zip files.
I usually extract 50 zips at once using 7-Zip

Thanks for your help

Hi and welcome,

no, it only extracts the focused file. For more advanced unzipping you have to a specialized software (like 7-Zip).

you could try this script

Code: Select all

"(smart)Multi Extract to other pane"
         $SelectedItems = get("SelectedItemsPathNames", "|");
				 $a =  get("path", i);  $zfile = ""; 
 // change (get("path", i)) to (get("path", a) to extract here
		 foreach($Item, $SelectedItems, "|") { 		 
                 $pList = zip_list($Item , <crlf>);
				 $file = gettoken( $pList, 1, <crlf>);
                 $pPath = getpathcomponent( "$file", "component", -2);
                         if ( $pPath == "" ) {
                            zip_extract($Item , $a\<curbase>\);
                          }
                     else  {
                           zip_extract($Item , "$a\");
                           }
						   $pPath =""; $file ="";
	     }					
of course this only works on zips but if you want other formats I've found 7zip has xtras
