The main window for the program is fairly straight
forward to use. This picture shows a standard MUI configuration, so some
gadgets may look different depending on your GUI setup.
Archive
|
This string gadget contains the path of the currently loaded archive.
You may type in a new archive path here and Voodoo-X will automatically
load the archive for you.
|
Archive history popup gadget
|
This small gadget, which is located immediately to the right of the
Archive string gadget, will popup a history list when
pressed. This history list is a list of all the archives you've loaded
since Voodoo-X was started. To reload an archive again, simply double
click with the left mouse button on one of the archive entries in this
list.
If this list gets too big you can clear it by selecting Clear
archive history... from the Archive menu.
|
Next/Previous archive arrow gadgets
|
These two arrow gadgets allow you to quickly move to the next or
previous archive in the archive history list.
|
Load archives gadget
|
Pressing this gadget will open a file requester. Using this requester,
you can load one or more archives. If you load more than one archive, then
use the archive history list to access the rest of the archives.
|
Archive entries lister
|
This is the main archive entry list. It shows you the contents of an
archive. Along with other details like size in bytes, date, protection
bits and comment.
By double clicking on an entry, it is temporarily extracted and viewed
with your specified viewer (which you define in the Settings Window under
filetypes).
If the entry you double click on is an archive, Voodoo-X will
temporarily extract and view this archive as if you had loaded it
normally. Such archives are called embedded archives. You can identify
embedded archives in the history list when you see an (":--->")
arrow.
You can even view embedded archives inside embedded archives (and so
on), but please note that Voodoo-X needs to extract each archive to the
temporary directory that you specified in the Settings Window. If you use
"T:" and have it assigned to "Ram:" (which is the default location) you
might find yourself running out of memory very quickly.
Note that multiselect is not available in Tree mode.
|
Root (only visible when in Files+Dirs view mode).
|
Pressing this button will bring you back to the root directory of the
archive.
|
Parent (only visible when in Files+Dirs view mode)
|
Pressing this button will bring you back to the parent directory of the
directory you're currently in.
This button will have no effect if you're in the root directory of an
archive, unless the currently loaded archive is an embedded archive, in
which case you'll be brought back to the parent archive.
The tall narrow button to the left of the list acts as the parent
button too.
|
Archive location (only visible when in Files+Dirs view
mode)
|
This will show you your current location within the archive.
|
Parent archive (only visible when in Tree view
mode)
|
If you're inside an embbedded archive, this button takes you back to
the parent archive when pressed. |
Open All (only visible when in Tree view mode)
|
When pressed, all branches of the tree list will be opened. |
Close All (only visible when in Tree view mode)
|
When pressed, all branches of the tree list will be closed. |

This string gadget contains the desination path, this is where all
extracted files are saved to. Pressing the small gadget to the far right
of this gadget will open up a desination drawer requester.
|
Destination history popup gadget
|
This small gadget, which is located immediately to the right of the
Destination string gadget, will popup a history list when
