Add a button / right click command in the File Manager to easily extract .zip etc in situ.

Go alias shortcut

# extract ZIP to auto-named subfolder

echo "extract() { unzip \\\"\\\$1\\\" -d \\\"\\\${1%.*}/\\\"; }" >> /etc/profile

---

command

```
extract() { unzip "$1" -d "${1%.*}/" }
```

command in folder

```
unzip "filename.zip" -d "${filename.zip%.*}/"
```

command not in folder

```
unzip "/mnt/user/downloads/movie.zip" -d "$(dirname /mnt/user/downloads/movie.zip)/${movie.zip##*/%.*}/"
```

Might want to look at the zip manager plugin

Thanks yeah the gui sucks butt (slow manual browsing etc) but maybe the undying 7zip package is good.

Much easier to terminal to the folder and type extract.

Got grok it help me write these.
Insert into go file for persistency.

```
# extract ZIP/RAR to auto-named subfolder, move to .tmp_zip/, log to extract_log.txt

grep -q "extract() {" /etc/profile || echo "extract() { local ext=\\\"\\\${1##*.}\\\"; local folder=\\\"\\\${1%.*}\\\"; local log_file=\\\"extract_log.txt\\\"; local timestamp=\\\$(date \\\'+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\\\'); local moved=0; echo \\\"\\\$timestamp: Starting extract: \\\$1\\\" >> \\\"\\\$log_file\\\"; if [[ \\\"\\\$ext\\\" == \\\"zip\\\" ]]; then if unzip -o \\\"\\\$1\\\" -d \\\"\\\$folder/\\\"; then moved=1; echo \\\"\\\$timestamp: SUCCESS - Extracted \\\$1 to \\\$folder/ and moved to .tmp_zip/\\\" >> \\\"\\\$log_file\\\"; else echo \\\"\\\$timestamp: ERROR - Failed to extract \\\$1 (ZIP)\\\" >> \\\"\\\$log_file\\\"; return 1; fi; elif [[ \\\"\\\$ext\\\" == \\\"rar\\\" ]]; then if unrar x -o+ \\\"\\\$1\\\" \\\"\\\$folder/\\\"; then moved=1; echo \\\"\\\$timestamp: SUCCESS - Extracted \\\$1 to \\\$folder/ and moved to .tmp_zip/\\\" >> \\\"\\\$log_file\\\"; else echo \\\"\\\$timestamp: ERROR - Failed to extract \\\$1 (RAR)\\\" >> \\\"\\\$log_file\\\"; return 1; fi; else echo \\\"\\\$timestamp: SKIP - Unsupported format for \\\$1 (\\\$ext)\\\" >> \\\"\\\$log_file\\\"; return 1; fi; if [[ \\\$moved -eq 1 ]]; then mkdir -p .tmp_zip; mv \\\"\\\$1\\\" .tmp_zip/; fi; }" >> /etc/profile
```


```
# batch extract all ZIP/RAR recursively (newest first), exclude .tmp_zip/, log to extract_log.txt
