The Scene Release Unpacker

Key features:

Custom filters enables dynamic destinations. Unpack your downloads to correct destinations automatically.
Queueing of jobs. 1 instance, 1 queue.
Post-processing of extracted files. Run external programs for custom processing.
Watch multiple directories for new folders to process. Unpack on directory creation!
Perform file copy on custom file extensions. Very handy when downloading pre-extracted files.

Notes:

SCRU is not a replacement for WinRAR or WinZip.
SCRU was originally developed to unpack "scene releases" because of their uniform file structure.
This is it's strength, but used in a different context this CAN also be it's weakness.
SCRU assumes only one archive set within a directory, at least for RAR.

Usage - Command line:

SCRU can integrate itself into Windows shell, so knowing these commands is not mandatory.
However, if you need to start SCRU manually from command line or from other programs,
you need to know what paramaters SCRU uses.
scru.exe inputdir - Unpacks to same directory.
scru.exe inputdir outputdir - Unpacks contents of "inputdir" to "outputdir".
scru.exe inputdir * - Unpacks contents of "inputdir" to a outputdir determined by filters.
scru.exe inputdir d - Unpacks contents of "inputdir" to default output directory.
scru.exe inputdir b - Unpacks contents of "inputdir" to a directory chosen by a browse-dialog.
Important: Remember to wrap all directories containing space with quotes.
