[feature request] option to suppress base path when extract (0 urgency) #47

Closed father-mande closed 2 months ago

father-mande commented 3 months ago

Hi,

When we extract date from archive ... the original PATH is recreated in the target (-C) ex. _arx extract newarch New2204/etc/X11/* -C ./temp/ ... in ./temp all the structure is recreated ll temp/New2204/etc/X11/ ... is created and contains files ...

For backup or restore a folder ... it's OK BUT in lot of case, we want only files and/or folders in target directory

Do you think it's possible to add an option to don't recreate all tree ... you can choice ... data only in target or last folder before data as it's possible;

PLEASE consider my messages only as a return of experience (case in real usage), so you be free to follow, change or cancel request.

Philippe.
