The /file/decompress Robot
We can both archive and extract entire media libraries.
The /file/decompress Robot extracts entire archives of files to be consumed by other Robots or exported as individual files.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ignore_errors
|
Boolean | false
|
There might be an error coming up when trying to extract meta data from the files inside your archive. This happens for files that are zero bytes big for example. Setting this to true will cause the Robot to not stop the file decompression (and the entire Assembly) when that happens.
