Massive Unzip

Just to make sure all files remain intact over distribution, most packages and applications are bundled inside an archive. These can be of various different formats, including the popular ZIP. Dedicated to this type, Massive Unzip wants to come as a fast method of extracting content from multiple archives to a custom destination.

Lightweight and easy to use

It doesn’t take a lot of time before you get to benefit from what the application has to offer, since the installer is done before you realize. However, you do need to make sure that .NET Framework is already on your PC to ensure functionality.
On the visual side of things, a clean window fitted with common elements is put at your disposal on launch. The layout is intuitive, making it easy for individuals of all levels of experience to get the hang of things. Although drag and drop is not supported to load the target directory, using the browse dialog is not difficult at all.

Report delivery and option to remove source archives

The application extracts content from all ZIP archives found in a directory you specify. However, there are no filter options, or possibility to choose whether or not to include subfolders in the operation. For the operation to be possible, you also need to specify a save location for extracted content.
At the press of a button the application starts to extract files from ZIP archives in the specified location. Unfortunately, it doesn’t create a structure for all archives, and there’s no option to decide how to handle existing file. When done, a message window shows up, enlisting all processed archives, with an option to delete them upon exit.

A few last words

Bottom line is that processing a large collection of ZIP archives one by one can be a pain, and Massive Unzip greatly reduces your effort for this operation. Although it can feel a little rough around the edges because of the lack of filters and overwrite methods, it gets the job properly done, and fast.
