How to use Peazip from command line?

SilentWalker (Homepage) - November 26, 2009 - 9:29pm

The title says all.

I use PFA on a Vista comp. and I want to know what command to type into the program area so that when I open an associated archived file (zip, rar, tar, bz2, etc.) it opens Peazip and automatically brings up the extraction dialogue. So it either extracts automatically, or all I have to do is select the destination.

Thanks in advance.

Command line switches

To extract through the main program's interface you can use
peazip -ext2main nameofthefile
-ext2here starts extraction in current path, -ext2folder starts extraction in a new folder in current path.
Those 3 switches can accept multiple files, so in example you can use
peazip -ext2here archive1.zip archive2.zip
All options for command line and scritping are at page 31 of PeaZip's help file.
