About The Archiver

The archiver is a front end to many archive programs, it is a window that displays a contents list. The contents list displays the objects found in the archive specified on the location bar.

The archiver allows you to create new archives and extract objects from existing archives.

The tool bar can be customized by going to Settings->Customize...

The location bar indicates which archive contents are being displayed on the contents list.

The write protect indicator displays whether the master write protect is on or off . If the indicator is then it means that no operations that would cause modifications would be allowed. You can toggle the master write protect simply by clicking on the indicator itself or going to Settings->Write Protect.

The progress bar indicates if the window is currently busy.

The status bar can display information about selected objects, the highlighted function, or the verbose progress of an operation.
