I have posted before about the great tool called WinImage and how I think it is brilliant! I have been using it on and off recently and decided to share some tidbits of information about it.
First is a minor annoyance when extracting from an image, the default option is set to Ignore Folders. This means that the content of the folder you selected gets extracted but no sub-folders. If you want to extract everything from your folder down you must select Extract with pathname. This should be the default option since it’s the one I use most of all, and I suspect most people will use. What is nice is that it does remember what you last used, but still that first time it is annoying cause you will forget.
There is a plus on the extracting of files and that is the ability to Extract all files into the same folder. Which extracts all the files from the selected point down and any sub folders but does not create the sub folders. I haven’t ever needed it, but it’s nice to know there is an option there if I do need it.
The other cool feature when extracting is that an icon appears in the task tray which if you hover over it gives you a tool tip, which isn’t that cool. The cool part is the image grows based on how far it is to completed so you can glance at the icon and quickly see the progress without needing the tool tip. In the pictures below note the first icon growing:
