Extracting archives |
Extracting the contents of the archive can be done through any of the following ways:
Drag 'n Drop
- Choosing Actions –> Extract extracts the entire archive to the default extract folder. If no default extract folder is specified, Beezer prompts you to choose a destination folder. You can specify a default extraction folder in Preferences. The sub-menu displays various probable extract destinations, clicking them starts extraction immediately without any further prompts
- Choosing Actions –> Extract To always prompts for a destination folder whether a default extract folder is specified or not. Sub-menu displays various probable extract destinations, clicking them starts extraction immediately without any further prompts
- Choosing Actions –> Extract Selected does the same as Extract To, but for selected entries
- Choosing toolbar: Extract. This always extracts the entire archive and not selected entries. Clicking on it extracts the entire archive to the default extract location or prompts you for a destination folder. The context portion provides some probable extract locations
You can extract entries through drag and dropping them on to a Tracker window.
Drag 'n drop extraction always extracts selected entries. If you want to extract the entire archive through drag 'n drop, just choose Edit –> Select All and then drag 'n drop the selection.
While dragging entries to be extracted, the number of files and folders that will be extracted will be shown. But since extraction is a hierarchial action, parent folders that aren't selected while dragging aren't counted and displayed although they will be extracted.
Please also see Viewing files for information on how you can view files in an archive.
Note: Currently Beezer does NOT report any errors that occur while extracting archives. This may be changed in future versions.
