Feed to listbox -> Showing found files instead of archive

Post by *knnknn »

When I search (alt-f7) and check [x] search archives and then click on "Feed to Listbox" only the archive names are listed, not the found files.

Is this a bug?

No, this is correct - most programs cannot work with files inside archives, so it wouldn't help to bring them to the file windows. TC does this only when all search results are from the same archive.

So how can I find files like *.txt within hundreds of archives and then feed them to the list box and then mark them all to copy them to somewhere else?

If the search pattern is for the filename only, you can select all files in the result listbox and unpack them (Alt+F9). In the unpack dialog you can define the filetype to unpack e.g. *.txt

it is often repeately requested function - it is unresolved feature for .rar, .zip, .7z
