Overview

Extracting files from an archive

To extract one or more files found in an archive:
  1. Open (if necessary) the ".wdz", ".zip", ".cab" or ".7z" archive containing the files to extract (select "File .. Open an archive" in WDZIP).
  2. Click the "Extract" button (or "Extract all") or select "Action .. Extract the selected file..." (or "Action .. Extract all the files..."). The window for configuring the extraction is displayed.
  3. Specify the directory where the files will be decompressed.
  4. Specify whether the files are to be extracted with their tree structure: Files will be extracted to the specified directory with their corresponding tree structure (excluding the disk). The directories are automatically created if they no longer exist.
    If this option is not checked, the files will be extracted to the specified directory.
    Note: If the option to include the file paths was not enabled when creating the archive, the files will be automatically extracted without their tree structure.
  5. Validate.
Warning To extract a file from an archive, the archive must be single-part and accessible in read/write mode.
