Overwrite Option When Unzipping [LOGGED]

cPFence

Currently, Enhance File Manager uses unzip -n, which silently skips existing files during extraction.

It would be great to have a simple checkbox like “Overwrite existing files” when extracting archives. That way, users can choose the behavior that fits their use case. Webmin, Plesk, and Hostinger’s hPanel already offer this, and it’s super handy.

cPFence I too, noticed this behavior and I think having overwrite existing is a must have

+1 for that one, as the way it is right now, the end user can't tell (unless they check timestamps at least) if the restored file is the old or the new one.

Seeing as this is very much related.. perhaps we can pull in other compressed archives that Enhance file manage currently extracts, ie .tar.gz to also have the same options with them.

xyzulu Whatever is decided, it should be documented on a way the end user can understand it, and be the same for all Uncompress functions.

This way we will avoid the confusion

xyzulu It'd be nice if for all usable/commonly used compression types one simple modal appears to decide what to do with extraction.. merge or replace/overwrite..
