How to extract archive in subfolder, but in same panel?

Post by *PET »

Any fast way to extract an archive on the same folder but in a subfolder?

ALT+F9 unpacks it to the other side...

Like I have a ZIP on the left side... if I press ALT + F9 it will unpack it to my right side. All I want is to upack it on the same left side + subfolder.

Thanks

Press ALT+F9 and then press "."
This will extract to current (same) folder.

if you just type "." it will replace the target folder to current folder
use checkbox to have same name as archive... // 4 tab and space

I use powerpro to do it for me in one keystroke you can also use AHK to automate +F9 //wait// .<tab><tab><tab><tab><space><enter>

If you have Winrar, use this button

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
x %P%N "%P%O\"
%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
Unpack to the same panel
%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\

PET,
Usually if you clear destination folder, TC will unpack to current panel. However if you need to unpack to a subfolder of current panel, you can simply write subfolder name as a destination folder (just type it over selected suggested path in a field).
Also note that unpack dialog has an option to auto-create subfolder with archive name. And there is a wincmd.ini option that makes it enabled by default - pretty useful feature: UnZIPSeparateSubdirs=-2 in [Packer] section.

PET,
<Alt-F9>, <Delete>, <Alt-S>, <Enter>.
Or, as MVV said.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

In addition to what MVV said, the target folder do not need to exist!

If you exchange the suggested target with a now folder name, that folder will be created as a subfolder with all the content inside.
