Unpack without dialogue

#1 Post by BGM » 27.01.2015, 15:43

Is there a way to use FC's unpack feature without showing any dialogue at all?
I want to be able to push the unpack button and have FC unpack a zip file to a subfolder in the same directory - and without having to supply any user input at all.
I just want to push the button and voila! - it's done: no input, no dialogue, no confirmation, no popups to dismiss or see.

Can I do this? How? I can't figure it out.

AFAIK, it not possible, there is an option after you click Alt+F6 (not sure if it's the default shortcut), on Settings tab - "Auto minimize when starting operation", but it's not working the same as for copy/move. I can copy/move with single click the button/key, dialog is auto-minimized and operation is started in background,

Actually it can be done if you have 7zip installed (you can use a standalone version, or a version that comes with a popular "Total 7Zip" plugin - doesn't matter). Create an item on a favourites toolbar with following parameters:
1.Program (modify the path if you installed a program to a different location):
C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zG.exe
2.Working directory:
%ActivDir%
3.Parameters:
x "%ActivItem%" -o*
It will show a dialog if you attempt to overwrite an existing file, you can use "-aoa" switch to suppress all prompts if you wish.

Thanks for the tip! That works like a charm, actually!
