Third-party command line utilities for asynchronous unpack

v7+ is capable of running 7z command line to unpack 7z or zip files automatically.

For the sake of uniformity it can also run unrar command line externally, even as it is unnecessary.

  1. Download the needed utility using the links below or from the utility author website and extract the files.

  2. In "Edit menu->Properties->Unpack, Asynchronous unpack during save" select the relevant entry:

      7z files:
    • Select the "Un7z" entry and click "Browse".
    • In the "Select command line utility" dialog point to extracted 7za.exe to complete the setup. Ensure 7za.dll is located in the same directory.

    • Zip files:
    • Select the "Unzip" entry and click "Browse".
    • In the "Select command line utility" dialog point to extracted 7za.exe to complete the setup. Ensure 7za.dll is located in the same directory.

    • Rar files:
    • Select the "Unrar" entry, uncheck "Use internal implementation" and click "Browse".
    • In the "Select command line utility" dialog point to extracted unrar.exe to complete the setup.
