How do I unpack

[imagic]

Hi

How do I unpack multiple archieves and skip certain files not to be unpacked, like a filter.
And also how do I chose that to be default?

Best Regards

Hi Imagic.

There are two ways you can do this.

1. Select the files you want to unpack and the press ALT+F6 (or Menu->File->Unpack ) and in the filter field you can specify the files you want to unpack or not unpack.
Start the filter with the - sign to exclude items.  eg. "-*.txt" to skip all .txt files.

2. You can do a normal copy operation by pressing F5 ( or Menu->File->Copy ) and then press "Options >>"
and select "Unpacker" as FileOperation plugin. This will copy all files and folders as normal but when it finds a zips, rars or 7zip archives it will unpack them instead of copying them. (As a shortcut you can press Ctrl+P to move the input focus to the plugin selection box)

In the filter box you specify files/folders to include or exclude. If nothing is specified everything will be copied.
(To exclude a folder you can write "-/folder")

To set this options as default you need to open up the copy dialog fully by clicking on the "Advanced >>" button.
And then press the "Save as default". But be aware that then this options will always be set when opening the copy dialog.

A much better way is to use presets.
Preset can be auto loaded or loaded with the F-Keys from the copy dialog.
To create this presets you need to press the "Advanced >>" button and then click on "Set/Change Preset"
There you can save the current options of filters/plugin/target path to a preset that you then can load by pressing an F-Keys ( eg. F1 ).
You can also choose to auto load presets based on the path you start a copy operation from.
