As mentioned in #728 (and I believe some other issues), the
IArchive.WriteToDirectory(...)
extension method can be very slow for.7z
files. This extension utilizedIArchive.ExtractAllEntries()
andIReader
so is fast for .7z files.Being async has nothing to do with the performance, rather, it's because I use this extension method from an async method and need it to perform the long-running work asynchronously. Ideally
IArchive.ExtractAllEntries()
andIReader.WriteEntryTo(Stream)
would be async as well and then the whole Task.Run wouldn't be needed and then it would make more sense to be async.It currently doesn't support
ExtractionOptions
or reporting progress throughIArchive
's events (although it does report progress through a callback). But, it works great as-is for my use case, which I suspect is pretty common, and I wanted to share.
