Hi, I’m a newbie to Linux and wanna extract the zip file directly to an organized folder so the images wont be scattered randomly across different folders, just being supercareful cuz of a mishandling from last time. Thx
Your question is poorly explained. It isn’t clear what you are wanting to do.
When I want to unzip, I first use “cd” to change to the directory where I want it unzipped. And then I use:
unzip full-path-to-zip-file
I might first use unzip -v
just to see what will be done.
If Desktop Environment == KDE Plasma then –
- use the File Manager (name == Dolphin) → click and open the file and, the file compression/decompression utility (name == Ark) will open and display the compressed file.
The Ark handbook is here – <Ark Handbook>
The Dolphin handbook is here – <Dolphin Handbook>
Please note that, Dolphin is possibly the most powerful and flexible and user friendly File Manager currently available but, some people will possibly dispute that …
else, if Desktop Environment == GNOME then –
- use the File Manager (how to access “Files” is explained here → <Managing files and directories> to access the file and then follow the instructions here → <Creating, displaying, and decompressing archives>
Other Desktop Environments have similar documentation available.
Don’t know what you possibly did wrong the last time you tried – Linux Desktop Environments tend to be bullet-proof against mistakes made by the human user …
