Command-line Zip & Rar problem

Help & Support
1

Okay so what I want here is a menu item for all compressed files (I've set up a file group), that gives me the option to unrar here, or to a folder.

I've gotten it all setup with unrar.exe

runmode hide "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\App\WinRAR\UnRAR.exe" /cmd x -ad "%1"

This works all well with .rar files,
my issue now is with other formats, such as .zip

It won't extract those. Is there any switch that I've missed in the unrar process?

[code]Usage: unrar -<switch 1> - <files...>
<@listfiles...> <path_to_extract>

I don't think that "/cmd" belongs in the UnRAR command-line.

There are a load of example WinRAR buttons here:

[WinRAR Compress/Decompress Buttons (and other))

Note that Opus has built-in unrar and unzip support as well. A button which runs Copy EXTRACT=sub HERE will do what you want for those two file formats.

I'm not sure that UnRAR.exe handles anything other than RAR files, either.

I think you're better off using WinRAR.exe, not UnRAR.exe, if you want to use WinRAR to unpack things. I'm not an expert on the WinRAR tools, though; you might get a better/more definitive answer by asking at the website for WinRAR.

Thanks for those tips!
I didn't know the Opus built-in could unrar. That worked the best for me.

I created 2 buttons:

//Unrar and Unzip everything to this folder
Copy EXTRACT HERE

//Unrar and Unzip everything to a folder with the name of the compressed file to this folder
Copy EXTRACT=sub HERE
