.. I was updating the backend utilities manually, then found Lupo PenSuite's version.  It's nice to see an update from the author.-jaden (May 13, 2010, 11:59 AM)

i was updating manually too, mostly Innounp. if only i had known about your updates, would have saved me some time. :)

jaden:
Agreed :)  The other one I recall updating was 7zip to get the Foobar2000 installer to extract.  I just checked and it's not working again.  Blast!  I can manually extract with 7-zip, but UE identifies it as NSIS and extracts a bunch of .bin files.

Here's an another big fan of UniExtract, i use it on an daily base :Thmbsup:

If someone is interested, here is my collection of how to integrate UniEx in my favorite file managers:

XYplorer:

XYplorer POM (Portable Open-with Menu):
Autoextract selected archive to subfolder named as the archive:
+|"UniExtract" *>::run """<xypath>\Tools\UniExtract\UniExtract.exe"" ""<curitem>"" ""<curpath><curbase>""";

or short with UniEx parameter "/sub" (which i found out later):
+|"UniExtract" *>::run """<xypath>\Tools\UniExtract\UniExtract.exe"" ""<curitem>"" /sub";

or if you wanna be prompted by the UniEx dialog just call UniEx with one parameter (the archive) only:
+|"UniExtract Prompt" *>::run """<xypath>\Tools\UniExtract\UniExtract.exe"" ""<curitem>"" ";

XYplorer script for Menu, Catalog or CTB (Customized Toolbar Button):
"UniExtract:  <curname>"
  run """<xypath>\Tools\UniExtract\UniExtract.exe"" ""<curitem>"" /sub";

to be prompted by UniEx
"UniExtract prompt:  <curname>"
  run """<xypath>\Tools\UniExtract\UniExtract.exe"" ""<curitem>"" ";




Total Commander:
%Commander_PATH%\Tools\UniExtract\UniExtract.exe
%P%N  "%P%O"

or untested:
%P%N  /sub

or to be prompted
%P%N  




Servant Salamander / Altap Salamander:
Command: $(SalDir)Tools\UniExtract\UniExtract.exe
Arguments: "$(FullName)" "$(Path)\$(NamePart)"

or untested
Arguments: "$(FullName)" /sub

or to be prompted
Arguments: "$(FullName)"

Inital Dir: $(FullPath)

-------------------------------------

FreeCommander:
To integrate with Free Commander, use this as the parameter: %ActivSel% /sub-jaden (May 15, 2010, 12:14 PM)

btw, what is the "/sub" for?

"/sub" is an UniExtractor command line parameter to extract the archive automatically
to an sub-folder named as the base name of the archive.

The command line syntax of UniExtractor is
path to\UniExtract.exe [archive] [destination]
or
path to\UniExtract.exe archive /sub

For example:
X:\Tools\UniExtractor\UniExtractor "D:\Downloads\my downloaded archive.zip" "D:\Downloads\my downloaded archive"
or simple
X:\Tools\UniExtractor\UniExtractor "D:\Downloads\my downloaded archive.zip" /sub

For file managers this command line is made universal by using an
file manager-own parameter as placeholder for the real names as shown above
like
%P%N OR <curitem> OR $(FullName) for path\file.ext
%P OR <curpath> OR $(Path) for path
%N OR <curname> for file.ext
%O OR <curbase> OR $(NamePart) for file
%E OR <curext> for ext
%P%O OR <curpath>\<curbase> OR $(Path)\$(NamePart) for path\file

Depending on the syntax of the file manager you may use.

I was wondering from where *i* got this info and found it on the homepage:
"UniExtract can also be run from the command line.  Run UniExtract.exe /? for detailed command line parameters."

So you get an dialog with this text:

Extract files from any archive type or installer package.

Usage:  UniExtract.exe [/help | /prefs] [filename [destination]]

Supported Arguments:

     /help      Display this help information
     /prefs      Adjust the UniExtract preferences
     filename   Name of file to extract
     destination   Directory to which to extract

Passing /sub instead of a destination directory name instructs
Universal Extractor to extract to subdirectory named after the archive.

Example:
     UniExtract.exe c:\1\example.zip c:\test

Running Universal Extractor without any arguments will
prompt the user for the filename and destination directory.

HTH?  :D

Curt:
It really is quite difficult for me to install this Universal Extractor, because Outpost Security Suite will at once quarantine several parts of it, as being malware.


But of course, I am merely being curious; hardly need it for anything...  :-\
