-Unable to decode more than one .hqx at once..

[betamaster]

Hello there,

This program seems to be fantastic one though trying till now..

Being a Phd Student a fantastic discount wud encourage me to buy a license..

I am selecting more than one *.hqx file to decode..

But it is not decoding at one go..

I have to individually move cursor over each file & then decode them individually..

Hope the creators/admins can resolve in the next release

Cheers n Regards

What is *.hqx? It is the first time when I see such extension. And I'm pretty sure that TC doesn't support it natively. It seems that you're using some plugin or shell extension... Please describe exact steps that you do for decoding such files.

Hex encoded file.. You cannot encode to .HQX using encode function in TC

Still.. Its wonderful to learn that it decode .HQX using decode function in TC

No Plugins mate I donot know how to install plugin..

Unfortunately TC decode function doesn't support decoding multiple files at once. You can try to find some external tool (that accepts command line parameters) in order to call it from TC buttonbar...

But it is a question which filename should be used for every decoded file...

[betamaster]

Mate its simple Every .HQX encoded file decodes into one single decoded file.

For example you can encode a a.zip file to a.hqx

So when you decode a.hqx you get a.zip back..

Cheers!!

Yes but how will you know that a.hqx should be decoded into a.zip and not into a.txt, a.exe or a.oops?

[betamaster]

Mates its there something inside the .HQX encoding, such that while decoding its generate the correct name of the file to be decoded.

So if you encode a.zip to a.hqx

Just decode a.hqx, you wud automatically get a.zip

if you encode a.sit to a.hqx

Just decode a.hqx, you wud automatically get a.sit

So on..

Cheers!!

OK, I see now that encoded data really contains header with filename. But anyway TC can't decode multiple files at once. I think it was already requested, you can try to find corresponding topic in suggestions forum, or create a new one.

The reason why TC doesn't allow to decode multiple files at once is that it supports multi-part files. If the user would select all the parts, it might mess up the order, and/or decode some files multiple times.

[Gral]

TC should treat these files as a multi-part archives, allowing decoding to subdirectories as well.

Hope fully i need to find some command line options for batch decoding..

Thanks n Regards

Hope fully i need to find some command line options for batch decoding..

Combine them to 1 file and decode?

[betamaster]

Cheers! @white for your values words

They are all individual .hqx decodes individually to .zip

So may be i need to write some batch scripts etc & find a command line hqx decoder for the same

Thanks n Regards
