Most of the games in my collection are compressed using .7z or .zip. Every time I import those I have to decompress them before importing. It'd be very convenient not to have to :)

I've been organizing a bulk collection of assorted ancient software—simtel archives and whatnot—and have been heavily leaning on The Unarchiver to "shuck" both the ISO images I'm pulling in from Archive.org, but then to subsequently bulk-extract all archives contained therein, and there are quite a range: arc, arj, lha, zip, rar, 7z, tar, …

If you have a directory containing many zipped games, open Terminal, type cd (with the space), drag your folder of ZIPs into the Terminal window, and press enter. Then:

find . -iname \*.zip -or -iname \*.7z -exec open -a "The Unarchiver" {} \;

You can run several times with different extensions, or continue to add more -or -iname \*.EXT searches to the one.
