Add queue to "unpack files"

Post by *2par »

I would like to see the option of a "queue" button to "unpack files", much like is available when copying files.

Where I can unpack an archive to to one destination and then do another to another destination and queue it up so it does not unpack all archives at the same time.

You are not the only one who would like that feature. There are more of us (just search this forum for "unpack queue") :)
Maybe one day ...

The problem is that an unpack operation cannot be represented by a single entry in the list (e.g. when the user has selected a few files only for unpacking). And unpacking each file separately (separate list entries) would be terribly slow when unpacking solid archives.
