A script to unzip a file directly within QGIS, automating the extraction process and providing a clear list of the unzipped files. Streamlines file management for seamless GIS workflows.
I needed a way to unzip a dataset within my model designer workflow. This was essential for enabling other processes, such as creating a spatial index or refactoring its fields, to be performed seamlessly on the extracted files. To address this need, I created a simple, efficient solution.
The tool is straightforward and takes just two parameters:
- File to Unzip: The path to the compressed dataset you want to extract.
- Destination Folder: The directory where the extracted files should be placed.
Once the process is complete, the tool outputs a list of the files that were extracted. This makes it easy to incorporate the extracted data into subsequent steps in your workflow.
If you'd like to use this tool, it's available for download on GitHub. Feel free to check it out, and I hope it proves as useful for you as it has for me!
