Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
no, no - the opposite is the actual problem: you extract in a non-empty folder and there's no top directory in the archive. Now you have a bunch of files mixed up: the extracted ones and the ones that were there before you did it.
Even better when this happens on a Linux server with no GUI (bonus points if you don't have much Linux experience yet).
Honestly now I am curious if there is a CLI equivalent. I always end up using tar's
t
flag or opening a zip in vim to see if it has a subfolder as my current workaround...@Miphera @russjr08 you might want to look into atool's aunpack command
Oh this looks fantastic! I will be deploying this to all of my systems immediately haha!
You get Linux experience real quick when you make mistakes like that in a shell with no GUI.
mkdir newfolder; find . -maxdepth 1 -mmin -5 -exec mv "{}" newfolder \;
If you'll forgive my compulsion to substitute all
find
s with Zsh globs:Assumed:
Ahaha yeah, it'd be fine if it was always either way for me, but I personally prefer setting my folder up and then extract the archive into there, so I don't have to rename it or whatever after extracting. So I would rather it have all the files in the top of the archive and not in a folder.
