Download and extract archive without archive save

1

1. Briefly

I don't find, how I can automatically quick extract zip or/and rar archives after loading for Windows 10. It would be nice any gratis solution. Firefox solution is preferable.


2. Settings

For example, I have a link to zip file.


3. Expected behavior

Example:

I click to link → than automatically: zip-archive download → archive extract to new folder → archive delete.


4. Did not help

  1. Googling,
  2. Search addon in MozillaAddons site for my Firefox browser,
  3. JDownloader2 have this feature, but I need to make more steps, even than manually extract and remove archive.
  4. I find similar question for Linux, but I don't find, how I can get similar behavior for Windows.

If your description of the workflow is acceptable, that is saving the file and starting the extraction, you could check the options of your chosen management program.

As an example WinRAR (documentation) supports the deletion of the successfully extracted archive in the advanced options.

WinRAR delete files after extraction dialog

If you want to do it like the Linux solution you would have to do some more work.

I'm sorry, can WinRAR download files from remote servers? Thanks. – Саша Черных – 2017-04-28T17:36:21.767

1No, but that's not what your initial description said and isn't what the Linux version does either. While it does the download you would still not be clicking a link. If you are willing to script it you would be able to do any kind of thing, especially if you#re willing to save the file on your HDD and that's not also a sudden requirement. – Seth – 2017-04-28T17:51:03.540
