Is there another mix extractor besides xcc ? one that will extract the whole mix file instead of one file at a time ?

Seems like I've seen something like this before but i can't remember...

Open the MIX you want in XCC Mixer, use Ctrl or Shift + mouseclick to select all files in it, right-click on any file and choose "Copy". All selected files will be extracted to your XCC directory.

It's not necessarily to your XCC directory... you can specify that too, if you pull open the second file browser.
And yes, the normal Copy funtion just extracts the file. But it isn't called 'Extract', because if you don't have any mixfiles open, you can also use this to just copy files to the other side's target directory.

This works in both directions btw, but you can't copy stuff directly into an opened mixfile.

I can't believe I didn't know that - I've been doing it the hard way all the time?!
