Research direction

Start in extractor.cpp around line 120, where the sounds path is currently fixed, then trace the application UI entry points and extraction flow. Done means users can choose another assets/objects/ folder such as lang, or choose to extract all folders, without changing the source string manually.

Description

enhancement help wanted

I had successfully extracted the sounds using your application, but recently, I needed the "lang" folder, which is also part of assets/objects/.

I had a look through the code and saw that literally just one string (extractor.cpp, line 120, const string soundsPath = "minecraft/sounds/";) defines what folder is extracted, so I was able to just replace that and extract the lang folder.

Now I am wondering if you could just add another selection box to the application that allows the user to select what folder they want to extract or even extract all of them.

I am not very much versed in cpp and not familiar with your UI toolkit, but it does not seem too difficult to do.
