Extracting Multiple ZIP Archives

Introduction

PowerArchiver contains a very useful Multi-Extract tool for extracting multiple archives at the same time. Select "Multi-Extract..." from the "Tools" menu and you will be presented with the Multi-Extract dialog box containing the following options:

• "Add Files", "Add Folder" and "Remove" buttons - you can add and remove files and folders from the File List of archives to be extracted.

• Destination Directory options:

  • "Extract To" - allows you to manually enter the destination directory for extraction (if the directory does not exist, it will be created when Multi-Extract is run), or browse for a desired directory using the standard browse feature.

  • "extract to filename\subfolder" - forces PowerArchiver to extract each archive into its own folder, based on file name.

• Options:

  • "Overwrite existing files" - overwrites files in the destination directory which have same file names as those in the archive, without prompting the user.

  • "Do not extract pathnames" - when checked, PowerArchiver will not extract any path information from the archive. By default, this option is left unchecked.

  • "Open folder after extracting" - opens folder, that you just extracted files into, in Windows Explorer.

After you have selected the desired options, click "Extract" to extract all archives listed.
