how can i (extract with paths)..

Post by mrQQ »

Hello,

often i find myself having this problem:

let's say archive has this structure

dir1\
dir2\
dir1\dir3
dir1\dir4
...

now i go into archive, and then into dir1. i see there dir3 and dir4. now I need to extract those two directories with subcontents.. so i press f5 and they get extracted into passive panel, BUT, they get put into dir1 there (that is dir1 is created - the whole structure is restored). i know this is probably limitation on how paths are handled by multi-arc, but is there a way to overcome this?

thanks!

It's a limitation of the external archivers that MA uses - but if you use RAR archives then MA can be set up to do what you need.

how?

and is there no hope for zip? perhaps some other zip variant than pkzip25 that i'm currently using? (7zip?)

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Far\Plugins\MultiArc\RAR]
"Extract"="rar x {-p%%P} {-ap%%R} -y -kb -- %%A @%%LNM"
"ExtractWithoutPath"="rar e -av- {-p%%P} -y -c- -kb -- %%A @%%LNM"
"Test"="rar t -y {-p%%P} -- %%a @%%LNM"
"Delete"="rar d -y {-w%%W} -- %%A @%%LNM"
"Comment"="rar c -y {-w%%W} -- %%A"
"CommentFiles"="rar cf -y {-w%%W} -- %%A @%%LNM"
"SFX"="rar s -y -- %%A"
"Lock"="rar k -y -- %%A"
"Protect"="rar rr -y -- %%A"
"Recover"="rar r -y -- %%A"
"Add"="rar a -y {-p%%P} {-ap%%R} {-w%%W} %%S -- %%A @%%LN"
"Move"="rar m -y {-p%%P} {-ap%%R} {-w%%W} %%S -- %%A @%%LN"
"AddRecurse"="rar a -r0 -y {-p%%P} {-ap%%R} {-w%%W} %%S -- %%A @%%LN"
"MoveRecurse"="rar m -r0 -y {-p%%P} {-ap%%R} {-w%%W} %%S -- %%A @%%LN"
"AllFilesMask"="*.*"
"DefExt"="rar"

as far as I know only RAR got this option.
