How Do I Unarchive All Files in Selected Folders?

[JMichaelTX]

@Paul_Kersey

This is what I would have like the workflow to do :

1. ask the user to select manually all the folders that the workflow will have to deal with
2. look in all those folders, and their sub-folders to see if they’re containing archives
3. if this is not the case to go directly to the next folder to perform the same research
4. if this is the case to undertake the unarchiving of all the presented files and to move the intial files (that are now unarchived) to the trash (but without deleting them)

The below macro does Steps 1-4. This should get you started, and you can add the remaining steps. Be sure to carefully read the ReleaseNotes to understand how it works, and some changes you may need to make.
