I was tired of dealing with the clunky "Extract All" experience on Windows and the constant popups that come with it. I wanted something more like the MacOS experience, where you just double-click a zip file and it quietly creates a folder and unzips everything with one click—no fuss.
I didn't want to mess with teaching 7-zip how to do this as the default action (believe me, I tried). So my friend Copilot helped me build this nice tool.
- Extracts zip files into a uniquely named folder (like
foo,foo (1), etc.) - Optionally runs in verbose mode to show progress
- Opens the extracted folder in Explorer automatically
- Simple and fast, with no annoying popups
zip_handler <file.zip> [--verbose]- Just run the tool with a zip file as the argument.
- Use
--verboseto see detailed output (enabled by default in debug builds).
You need Rust installed. Then:
cargo build --releaseMIT
