Dialog box: Unpack
With this dialog box, you can choose settings for unpacking files. The files are then unpacked by one of the external unpackers PKunZIP, ARJ, LHA, RAR, UC2 or ACE. There exist internal unpackers for ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, ACE, TAR, GZ, CAB and 7Z files which also support long filenames.
Unpack n file(s) to Enter the target path where you want to place the selected files. As a default, the path of the target directory is given. However, you can enter any valid path name. If you leave this field empty, the files will be unpacked to the directory of the archive.
Files to unpack This field only appears when unpacking files with ALT+F9. Here you can enter wildcards (like *.doc *.txt) to specify which files to unpack. If you want to unpack a file containing spaces in the name, you must put the file name in double quotes, e.g. "Letter to Mr. Smith.doc".
Encoding of names Change the encoding of the file names if necessary, e.g. when you have received a ZIP from someone with different language encoding like Cyrillic.
Unpack path names if stored with files
If you marked directories inside an archive for unpacking, all files in these directories will be unpacked with their paths.
Overwrite existing files
If this option is selected and a file in the archive already exists in the destination path, the destination file will be overwritten. Otherwise the unpacker asks for each file if it can be overwritten.
Unpack each archive to a separate subdir (name of the archive)
Useful when unpacking multiple selected archives at once. Each will be unpacked to a subdirectory which is created like this: "filename.zip" -> "filename".
OK Closes the dialog and starts the unpacker.
Cancel Closes the dialog without unpacking the files.
