I want to ask if is possible to extract multipart archives in a second moment with JD after that I remove links or packages from JD

For example I have

PARENT folder is C:\test
     |
     +--- name_subfolder1
             |         
             +-- file1.part01.rar
             +-- file1.part02.rar
             +-- file2.part01.rar
             +-- file2.part02.rar
             +.....

      +--- name_subfolder2
             |
             +-- file1.part1.rar
             +-- file1.part2.rar
             +-- file2.part1.rar
             +-- file2.part2.rar

Some of these archives have password. I want to use Jdownloader to extract like

PARENT folder is C:\test
     |
     +--- name_subfolder1
             |         
             +-- file1 [folder]
             +-- file2 [folder]
             +.....

      +--- name_subfolder2
             |
             +-- file1 [folder]
             +-- file2 [folder]
             +......

When I download with Jdownloader I see that this extraction is possible because name_subfolder(s) are downloaded as packages with JD.

But.. if I disable automatic extraction with JD and I remove links from JD how can I do to perform same action in a second moment? Is possible to "watch" folder and start JD for this action again also if I don't need to download anymore ?

@nathan1: you can extract archives from disk via Menu -> Windowbar->Tools->Extract Files
In case you mean something different, please just ask and explain better

@Jiaz

I wish that JD extract every .part in subfolders. It would be nice if JD could extract all .part archives inside the folders when they are selected.
In your version you can only select the archives, not the folders that contain the archives.

It would be useful if those folders remained so the extracted archives are found within them and not that the program deletes them after extraction

[Jiaz]

@nathan1: I'm sorry but I don't understand? This dialog will only show the *start* archive part. test.part1.rar is detected as start part of multipart archive? or are they different archives? test.part1.rar is different than test.part2.rar ?

If you want custom subfolder, see Settings->Archive Extractor and there you can set custom subfolder

[nathan1]

It is the start of archive part of multipart archive.

What don't you see is that inside folder1 and folder2 there also other start archive part of multipart archive.

I wish to select that folders and allow to Jd to extract all starter archives inside that folders.

You can't select folders with JD if you want extract archives

@nathan1:
but you could just go into folder 1 and select all the archives in there or are there also subfolder in there?

another idea I could add support for drag/drop of rar/archive files into JDownloader and JDownloader ask to extract them

[nathan1]

I'll give you an example: inside the C:\test I have 3 folders.
Inside each folder I have these splitted multipart archives.
I would like to select these 3 folders at once, don't open folder1 and select archives, but select all folders.

but you could just go into folder 1 and select all the archives in there or are there also subfolder in there?

but I have subfolders with other splitted multipart archives.

For example, if I select the 3 folders, once the extraction has been performed I would always like to find these 3 folders with the structure preserved that the archives contains within it

JDownloader will extract the selected files and use your customized Settings->ArchiveExtractor
When you do not set to use subfolders, then JDownloader will just extract into the same folder where the archive is.

So you just want to be able to select a folder and JDownloader should extract all archives that are lying in this folder, right? only one level of depth?

[nathan1]

yes, exactly. If I select 2 folders (on the same path) JDownloader should extract all archives within each of the selected folders

Understood, I will check/add support for it

[nathan1]

Thank you !

[Jiaz]

@nathan1: please check with next core update, available in next 5 mins

[nathan1]

Thank you very much Jiaz !
I test it and it works very well !

@nathan1: Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear that it works as expected
