Extract Here Shortcut

[dekiblue]

I've searched the forum but I can't find that anybody else asked this question: I'd like to have an icon in a button bar (and a keyboard shortcut) that will do the same as mouse right clicking on an compressed file and selecting Extract Here command. I know about cm_UnpackFiles but that command extracts to opposite panel and it puts out confirmation window that's most of the times for me unnecessary.

Is that possible?

Thanks

to dekiblue:

Open the zip file
Choose the file(s) to extract
Right click the mouse
Click "Copy..."
BackSpace (to delete the chosen destination, the opposite panel)
Click "OK"

...and the file(s) are copied to the same directory/panel of the zip file

Ambaquista: thanks for your reply but that's not what I asked for. Let's say you have a rar file that you want to extract in the same folder. You have to right click the file, and select "Extract Here". I want to make a keyboard and button bar shortcut for that process so it can be performed with a single button bar click or a keyboard shortcut.

dekiblue,
Well, short of defining a command for an external packer and the %P%N and %P parameters, you can do the following steps (perhaps they are short enough):
Alt-F9, Delete, Enter.

Hacker,
Thanks for your reply. As a keyboard shortcut it works fine.
Any idea how to make a command with 7zip and parameters?

Thanks,

Deki

dekiblue,

Any idea how to make a command with 7zip and parameters?

Well, something along the lines of:

Code: Select all

Command: c:\your\path\to\7za.exe
Parameters: x "%N" "-o%P"

Remember to clear the Start path parameter.
You can replace the "-o%P" with "-o*" to unpack into a subdir with the same name as the archive.
Not tested though.
Good luck.

robinsiebler: that's an interesting link, I'll have to set aside some time to check it out, thanks.

Hacker: that worked like a charm, Thanks.
