Deleting, Compressing, and Archiving

Once a scan is complete, you can delete items, compress files, or archive directories directly from within Baseline.

Deleted items will be moved to the Trash.

Compress files will be compressed with gzip, and the original item will be moved to the Trash. Simply double click the gzip file to uncompress it.

Archived directories will be archived with tar and gzip to form a .tgz file. The original directory will be moved to the Trash. Simply double-click the .tgz archive to unarchive the directory.

To Delete, Compress, or Archive an item

  2. Select the file or folder to be processed in the directory view.

  3. Click on the delete, compress, or archive toolbar items, or on the corresponding menu item from the File menu.

  4. A warning alert will be displayed. Click OK, and the item will be deleted, compressed, or archived.
