Voodoo-X has three pull down menus that allow you to gain access to
many more of Voodoo-X's features. This section describes what each menu
item does.

|
The first menu is the Project menu, this is the main
menu.
|
About... |
See some general information on Voodoo-X itself.
|
About MUI... |
This gives you some information on the currently installed version of
MUI.
|
About versions... |
Use this menu item to gain access to the version information of the
currently loaded external systems.
|
Show Errors |
Opens up the error window, allowing you to browse through recent
errors.
|
XAD client information... |
XAD is the system used by Voodoo-X to decompress archives. Since XAD is
modular you may need to view information on each of the currently
installed XAD client modules. Each of these clients handles a particular
file format (like LHA, LZX, DMS, ADF, etc.).
This menu item allows you to view information on each client.

|
Hide |
Using this, you can quickly hide the GUI from view. |
Quit |
Need I state the obvious? :-) |

|
The second menu is the Archive menu, this menu allows
you to manipulate the currently loaded archive(s).
|
Open... |
Selecting this menu item allows you to open one or more archives for
browsing. A multiselect file requester will be opened, after you have
selected the archives you want to load, a progress window will be
displayed and each archive will be added to the history list.
To browse the archives you've just loaded, press the history list popup
button in the main window.
|
Open multipart... |
Selecting this menu item opens up the multipart archive window, which
looks like this:

The multipart window is used to open archives that comprise of two or
more segments. For example, some archiver programs allow archives to be
split over many floppy disks. Using this window, you can specify the
location of each archive segment. Each of these segments are then merged
as a single archive entity and added to the archive history list when you
press the View button.
Because of the nature of most archive formats, XAD cannot determine the
exact order of each segment, so you must arrange each archive segment to
its correct order. You can use the drag and drop lister to do this.
|
Close |
Selecting this will close the currently loaded archive, freeing some
memory resources and unlocking it. if you have more than one archive
loaded, then the contents of the next archive will be displayed.
|
Close all |
Selecting this will close all opened archives. A requester will first
be opened asking you if you'd like to keep the currently displayed archive
opened.
|
Search... |
Opens the Search
window.
|
Copy to... |
Sometimes it can be handy to make a copy of an archive. When triggered,
this menu item will open a destination file requester. From here you can
select a desination file, Voodoo-X will then copy the currently selected
archive to this new destination.
|
Move to... |
This is similar to the Copy to... menuitem, but the
original archive is deleted after copying. Voodoo-X needs to rescan the
archive after it has been moved to it's new location.
|
Delete from disk... |
Extracted all of the file you need out of the archive and don't need it
anymore? If this is the case, then you can delete the unneeded archive
using this menu item.
This feature is especially useful for "download" directories, because
you can quickly get rid of an archive after you've obtained it's
contents.
|
Select all |
Select all of the entries in the currently loaded archive.
|
Select none |
Clear all of the selected entries in the currently loaded archive.
|
Select
pattern... |
This opens up a small window which gives you more control over file
selection, using AmigaDOS wildcards. The window looks like this:

The Select Pattern button will tell Voodoo-X to select
each entry, depending on the contents of the Pattern
string gadget.
Clear all is provided for convenience. Pressing it
will clear all of the currently selected entries.
|
Extract selected... |
Selecting this will extract all of the selected entries to the
destination drawer.
|
Extract all |
This is the same as Extract selected..., but instead
allows you to quickly extract all entries to the selected
destination drawer.
|
Clear archive history... |
If you're getting a bit low on memory you can call this. It will clear
the archive history list. It will also unlock all of the loaded archives,
allowing you to delete them with another external tool, like a file
manager.
The currently loaded archive will remain loaded.
|
Check for viruses |
When activated, this handy feature will check every file in the archive
for viruses. It will throw up a warning requester if it finds any.
For this feature to work, you need xvs.library installed. See the Requirements section for
more information.
Click on the thumbnail image below to see an example of the virus
checking progress window.

The third menu, called the Settings Menu, allows you to configure
Voodoo-X.
|
Settings... |
Opens the Settings
Window.
|
Settings MUI... |
Opens the MUI settings window. Please refer to the MUI documentation
for more information on this window.
|
View mode |
This allows you to change the archive view mode to Linear, Files+Dirs
or Tree. Linear mode is where you to see every file with its full path
(though viewing large archives with many files many be unpleasant),
Files+Dirs mode allows you to view archive contents as if you were using a
file manager (where you double click to get inside directories) and Tree
mode lets you see archives as a tree.
Note that Tree mode requires Listtree.mcc to be in your MUI:Libs/mui
drawer. Multiple select is currently not support in Tree mode.
