Edit Menu
Edit Menu	Menus

The 'Edit' menu contains commands which act on the files within an opened archive.

•  Add

•  Delete

•  Extract

•  Open

•  Open with

•  View

•  Find files

•  Select All

•  Invert Selection


Add (Edit Menu)
Add	Menus	Edit Menu

Displays the 'Add files' dialog. This dialog is similar to the standard windows open/save window and should be familiar.

From here, files can be selected to add to the currently open zip archive. One or more files may be selected and will be displayed in the 'File name' box. Note that to add with wildcards, simply enter the wildcard (eg *.doc) into the 'File name' box and click 'Add'.

The Action list lets you choose from the following options;

•  Add (and Replace) Files

The default action. This will add all selected files to the archive, replacing an existing files of the same name.

•  Freshen Existing Files

Adds newer versions of files to the current archive only where an older version already exists. Using this option on a new archive will result in no files being added, only use this option to update an existing archive.

•  Move Files

Add all selected files to the current archive and delete the original files. Use this option with caution, remember, when the file(s) are added they are then removed from your system.

•  Update (and Add) Files

Like Freshen, this adds newer versions of files to the current archive, but will also adds any specified files not already in the archive.

The Compression list lets you set the compression method for the add action. There are five methods ranging from maximum to no compression. Maximum compression is the slowest method, but results in the smallest archive file. No compression is the fastest method, storing the files in the archive without compression, and results in a larger archive file.

The Multiple Disk Spanning list controls how EnZip handles disk-full conditions while creating a new archive on removable media (eg a floppy disk). These options are disabled unless you are working with a new archive on removable media. When enabled, the following options are available;

•  Automatic

Prompts for another disk when the disk, on which you are creating an archive, is full.

•  Automatic + Auto Erase Disk Prompt

This is the same as Automatic, but will give you the opportunity to erase any files on the disk.

•  No Spanning

Results in a “disk full” error message if the size of the Zip file exceeds the space available on the disk.

The Options box, lets you specify some additional details for the add action;

•  Include Folders

Useful when a wildcard is used in the 'File name' box. EnZip will recurse through all sub folders for wildcard matches and add them to the archive.

•  Save Extra Folder Info

When this option is checked, each files' complete path (without drive information, ie c:\) will be included in the archive. Note that EnZip will automatically include a relative path when recursing folders.

•  Use password

Enables password encryption. With this option checked, when you click the 'Add' button, EnZip will prompt for a password. Once in the archive, to view or extract these files you will be required to give the correct password. Note that for additional protection, EnZip requires the password for every action within a single session. Also note, encrypted files are indicated by EnZip with the '+' symbol.

•  Include hidden and system files

With this option checked, hidden files on you system will be included in the 'Add' action. This is most relevant when using wildcards (eg *.*), if you do not want hidden/system files to be included, ensure this box is not checked.


Delete (Edit Menu)
Delete	Menus	Edit Menu

Deletes files from the currently open archive. A dialog is displayed with options to delete selected files or the entire archive. If no files are selected then this option will be disabled. The delete is not reversable, once deleted files cannot be undeleted.

Note, the 'Entire Archive', option will not delete the actual zip file itself, only the contents. If you wish to remove the zip file, use Delete Archive from the File menu.


Extract (Edit Menu)
Extract	Menus	Edit Menu

Displays the 'Extract Files' dialog. From here, files can be extracted from the currently open archive. Extract will act on all files or the the current file selection, if no files are selected, then this option will be disabled.

The Folder box is used to specify the extract location with the 'Extract To:' text box. This provides a drop-down list of the most recently used extract locations. A new location can be typed into this box or selected visually with the 'Browse...' button. This opens a folder selection dialog. Note, to create a new folder, simply type the full path required and EnZip will automatically create any new folders.

The Options box, lets you specify some additional details for the extract action;

•  Overwrite Existing Files

If checked, existing files will be overwritten when extracting. If this option is not checked, existing files will be skipped.

•  Use Directory Names

If checked, EnZip extracts and recreates the relative folder(s) that may have been stored with each file. Empty folders stored in the archive (if any) will also be recreated.


Open (File Menu)
Open	Menus	Edit Menu

Open extracts the selected file(s) and starts their associated applications. If the opened file has no associated application then the Open with dialog will be displayed.

This is the default action for most files types when they are double-clicked. The only exception are files with the .txt extension (text files), the default action for these files is view.


Open with (File Menu)
Open with	Menus	Edit Menu

Open with allows an application to be specified for opening the selected file(s). The file(s) are extracted to a temporary folder and a dialog box displayed to navigate to and selected the required application.

This option is useful for viewing files such as 'read.me' which have no associated application. Using 'Open with' you can select an application, eg Notepad, to open the file.


View (File Menu)
View	Menus	Edit Menu

View extracts the selected file with focus for viewing. This is also the default action for files with the .txt extension. Double-clicking a .txt file will start the view action, not open the file in its associated application.

The viewer application specified in the the customize dialog will start and load the file to be viewed. If no viewer application has been specified, an internal text-only viewer will be used (note, this the default setting for a new installation).

Unlike the open command, view does not work on multiple selections. Only the file with focus (ie, with a box around its title) will be viewed.


Back (File Menu)
Back	Menus	Edit Menu

Moves up one level in the archive folder heirarchy. This option is only available when using the Folders display style. When using Classic display style the Back item will always be disabled.


Find Files (Edit Menu)
Find Files	Menus	Edit Menu

Displays the 'Find files' dialog. This dialog can be used to search for files using a filename or wildcard, date range or size range. EnZip will search for all matching files in the archive, recursing through all folders.

The dialog defaults to the name page when opened, here you can specify a particular file to find, eg readme.txt, or use a wildcard such as *.txt.

The Date page allows you to specify a date range for the search. This will match all files modified between the given dates inclusively.

The Size page allows you to specify a maximum or minimum size for files. For example, a search could be run for all files of 'at Least' 450kb.

Note that you can narrow the search by using a mix of all three pages. For example, a search could be run for all files matching; *.txt, modified between 01/06/99 and 12/06/99, and are at least 450kb in size.


Select All (Edit Menu)
Select All	Menus	Edit Menu

Select all will highlight all files in the current archive. All subsequent actions will use all selected/highlighted files.

Note that when in folder view, only the files in the currently selected folder will be selected. However, if you want to act on all files in the archive, most action dialogs will prompt for 'All files' or 'Selected files'. If you wish to list all files in the archive, select 'Classic View' in the Customize dialog, or alternatively use 'Find files' with a name only *.* wildcard search.


Invert Selection (Edit Menu)
Invert Selection	Menus	Edit Menu

Invert Selection will reverse the selected status of all currently listed files. Files which are selected will be deselected, and files which are not selected will be selected.

A self-extracting Zip file is an executable program file (.EXE file) that includes a Zip file and software to extract or “unzip” the contents of the Zip file.  Users can run a self-extracting Zip file just as they run any other program.

This is an ideal way to send zip files to colleagues who may not have an unzip program. Simply double-clicking on the Self-Extracting file will allow the end user to extract the contents without using any other applications.
