Hello,
Fairly easy way:
cd ~/Downloads/
open *.zip &&
There is a zip command also which would use less resources as it doesn't open a
window, using this is probably more efficient, and it might even have an option
to delete zip files after they are decompressed.It It does have option to
compress only files newer or older than a specific date or to move files from
one archive to another. Acopy of the Man page formatted for the browser can
be found at:
https://ss64.com/osx/zip.html <https://ss64.com/osx/zip.html>
Though typing "man zip" in the terminal is guaranteed to give you the man page
for the version of zip you have on your computer.
for
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
