I was trying to use the default setting of autoextract for zip files but when I double clicked exe file in an archive nothing happened and I and got error in exe execution.
Temp solution, use right click on exe file and select autoextract.
I have the same problem...
I setup a pattern to autoextract my ZIPs when doubleclicking on a jpg and it doesn't work
I used *.jpg as pattern without any response. Also used #?.jpg and even regular expressions with no luck.
I think there is a bug with this feature when using patterns.
This seems to work for me. In the screenshot I've set the pattern to *.exe and I've just double-clicked notepad.exe on the left. On the right you can see that Opus has automatically extracted the contents of the zip to the temp directory.
It's possible that auto-extract doesn't work for *.jpg if you've got the Opus viewer set to handle JPG files. (I haven't tested this either way so it might work as well.) I can't think why you would want auto-extract turned on for *.jpg if you were using the internal viewer, though, so I'm guessing you're not?
My apologies. There was indeed a bug here and it should be fixed the next update.
Ok.
=) The reason for the *.jpg pattern:
I have lots of scanned comics and mangas compressed in zip/rar. The viewer I use is xnview, it has some features that are mising in the opus built-in viewer (maybe I will post a request of them).
Because they are inside an archive I can't use the next/prev feature, thats why I use that pattern for autoextract.
I know I can: open the archive / select files using a pattern (if not opus will open all files including non images) / click on opus viewer and use mouse scroll to change pics. But is easier just to double click an image and let the viewer do the rest.
Maybe there are a better way I don't know... =?
Bye!
PS: Sorry for my very bad english ^_^;
That seems fair enough.
Jon has sent me a test version with this fix in it (and a few others) and I can confirm that using auto-extract patterns with image files works fine so you shouldn't have any problems once the next update is out.
Excellent.
And thanks for the quick replay!
Bye!
