Support of the most recent zip file specification version.The automatic Unzip Files Action features the following uncompression options:
This way, the automatic file unzipping can start after an archive file has been copied to specified folder, or when a third-party application has completed, or after any other Action. Technical detailsįile unzipping can start automatically when a new zip file is detected in specified folder by File & Folder Watcher, the file monitoring Trigger, or upon user login, during Windows startup or on simple or advanced schedule.Īlso, the Unzip Files Action can be a part of the Task that contains multiple Actions, and thus extract compressed files from archive after another Action has finished its operations.
Only the Delete File Action unconditionally deletes contents of the C:\Uncompressed\ folder without relying on some preceding Trigger or Action.Īlso, we have seen how to choose between multiple Task instances running in parallel and queuing them one after another for sequential execution which plays a key role in this Task to prevent it from unwanted mixing of files from various archives. Also, the Zip Files Action retrieves the original tar.gz archive file name from File & Folder Watcher to use it as a name for newly created zip file. The File & Folder Watcher file monitoring Trigger is connected with Unzip Files Action so that the latter receives the tar.gz archive name and path from the former. For instance, the created zip archive can be automatically moved to another folder, sent by email, reported by email, passed to external application, etc. It is possible to extend the Task in numerous ways by adding more sequential Actions. Delete File Action clears C:\Uncompressed\ folder from all its contents.Zip Files Action compresses the contents of C:\Uncompressed\ folder to zip file in C:\Zip folder.
No plugin or software installation is required for you. Everything is decompressed on our servers.
