Is there an efficient alternative method preferably using WinRar on Windows 10 to extract selected files and folders from a single zip archive into multiple destination folders simultaneously, instead of one operation at a time?
I was sure the 'extract one to many' concept would exist in the software, but nothing is mentioned in the Help facility on how to select multiple destination folders.
Thank you.
I normally open the archive (using WinRar in Windows 10 Home), select all the file and folder content from within the parent folder but not the parent itself (using SELECT A ) and then use 'EXTRACT TO' to navigate and select the destination folder.
Once the archive has been unzipped and overwritten any existing files and folders, I then repeat the process manually, about 10-15 times to extract everything still previously selected into several more unique destination folders until completed.
I would like to be able to select the multiple destination folders in one go, making multiple copies simultaneously.

What is a good way to copy all files in a folder to another one? I don't want to copy the whole folder, just all it's content.
More precise, I want to move all files and folders in a folder one folder up. Example: I want all files and folders in \myfolder\data\ moved to \myfolder\.
What would be an easy way to do that?
I've been trying to copy files from one directory to another and then changing all the files I moved into .txt files. The only problem is that there are multiple, probably 30+ different extensions and hard coding them is not an option because there could be different extensions in different output folders. I've been able to move all the files from one to another pretty easily, but being able to change every extension in a folder (.ser, .pbr, etc,) to a .txt has proven difficult. If anyone could help that would be great. This is my code for moving files from one folder to another so I just need to be able to change the files to .txt either while they are being moved or after they've been copied to the new folder.
src = 'L:/Development/DCS/UL/Dev\202209\1_202206_4355_4359/OUTPUT/202112'
trg = 'L:/Development/DCS/UL/Dev/Test Output'
files=os.listdir('L:/Development/DCS/UL/Dev/202209/1_202206_4355_4359/OUTPUT/202112')
# iterating over all the files in
# the source directory
for fname in files:
try:
# copying the files to the
# destination directory
shutil.copy2(os.path.join('L:/Development/DCS/UL/Dev/202209/1_202206_4355_4359/OUTPUT/202112',fname), 'L:/Development/DCS/UL/Dev/Test Output')
except:
print ("error")
pass
How can I copy files to ignore their case?
For example, I want to copy the test.txt file to the target directory, which already has Test.txt (same name, different case).However, I don't want it to be copied as a new file, but to replace the existing one.
I want to get the same file copy effect as on Windows. Windows is case insensitive, so files and directories with the same name but different case are overwritten.
I would like to improve the installation of mods for games installed with Wine/Proton. I have to use Windows applications like 'Total Commander' to get everything copied properly.
Does anybody know of any way (on Windows) to create an archive (zip, rar,..) and adding files to it by importing a list of files to be added (say from a CSV or text file or simply pasted) that need to be archived. Say I have a simple list of 1,000 files across multiple directories that I want to add to an archive, this would be a much simpler method of doing it than adding each file individually. Also I do not want to arhive the entire directory as it is absolutely massive.
eg:
c:\somedir\file1.php
c:\somedir\somesubdir\file2.php
c:\someotherdir\file3.php
...
And no I do not want to import all files in certain directories, the hundreds of files are scattered across tens of directories which also contain lots of other files that I do not want to archive.
Thanks
rar.exe from WinRAR has the following option:
n#<list> Include files listed in specified list file
Just like Search result can feed the listbox (which opens new temporary tab),
is there a way to:
simply select files from one directory and feed the listbox?
select files from multiple directories and feed the same listbox?
Just to rename listbox's temporary tab and you could have favorite list of items over which you could perform more actions. This would increase productivity tremendously!
Regarding #1:
After you select the files activate:
Menu > Show > Only Selected Files
Regarding #2:
It's probably not what you were after, but you can use DiskDir / DiskDir Extended to add files (using a packer functionality, so you create an 'archive' file with extension .lst which contains a hierarchical list of the added files. You can then change source folder and then add more files. Later you just click on the .lst file and it looks no different then your normal file / folder list. Unfortunatelly you cannot rename the files, but you can launch them, with an extra confirmation.
UPDATE
Similar functionalitybut with 'source' renaming functionality limited to one file only (?): Virtual Panel, (File System Plugin, accessible through the Network Neighborhood 'drive'). It can launch files without a confirmation window. Rename 'source/target' file when you use it's own subbar (located here: %%COMMANDER_PATH%%\Plugins\WFX\VirtualPanel\EN\VirtualPanel.bar, make sure that you also have installed the AskParam addon and have paths in the VirtualPanel.bar right (both to AskParam.exe and VPBatch.exe). 'Regular' rename will change the file name only in the virtual panel.
