From 83b9bf0e3bfb1d842b10b80bbe749095b2c661a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: tpearson Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:58:28 +0000 Subject: Added old KDE3 version of Krusader git-svn-id: svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/trinity/applications/krusader@1094427 283d02a7-25f6-0310-bc7c-ecb5cbfe19da --- doc/en/archives.docbook | 125 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 125 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/en/archives.docbook (limited to 'doc/en/archives.docbook') diff --git a/doc/en/archives.docbook b/doc/en/archives.docbook new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a94afe1 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/en/archives.docbook @@ -0,0 +1,125 @@ + + Archive Handling + + Archives + + + Browsing Archives + The &vfs-lnk; allows you to browse archives as + if it was a directory. Currently &krusader; supports + the following archives types: ace, arj, bzip2, deb, gzip, iso, + lha, rar, rpm, tar, zip and 7-zip and supports the following + passworded archives: arj, ace, rar and zip. Passwords can be + stored in &kwallet;. Please note that the archive + support first needs to be properly + configured in + Konfigurator. To open the archive, use &Enter;, + (double-)click or the + Right Arrow. &krusader; supports + also + hidden archives, these are + renamed archives with a *wrong* extension, ⪚ + &openoffice; uses zip archives with the following + extensions: odt, sxw and odw. &Enter; will open the + &openoffice; document and the + Right Arrow will open the archive. Another + example is J2EE, where the rar extension means a zip archive. + Since &krusader; auto-detects the supported archive + types, it will open with + Right Arrow even if it has another mime type. + Please note that browsing archives has a few limitations: + + + Not all functions are supported by all archive types. + (&ie;: you can not delete files in ace or rar + archives) + + + The permissions you have inside the archive are the + same as the permissions you have for the archive. + + + The command line (if visible) will not follow you + inside the archive but will point to the archive + directory. + + + Before any action is performed on files/directories + inside the archive, they must be extracted. The archive + will be repacked when you leave it or when + &krusader; detects that extracted files have + changed. + + + Packing and un-packing are "blocking operations" that + display a progress dialog. However, this might change in + the future since we are planning to create more background + operations. + + + + + Unpack Files + There are 2 ways to extract files from archives: + If you want to unpack a whole archive(s), browse to the + archive location, select the archive(s) and select + + + File + Unpack + + or + &Alt; + U. &krusader; will ask + you where to put the extracted files. The default location is + the inactive panel directory. If you don't cancel the + operation, &krusader; will try to unpack all the + selected files in the inactive panel. + If you only want to extract a part of the archive, then + browse the archive and + copy the files you want to extract to their new location just + as you would copy "normal" files. Note that unpacking from a + browsed archive takes more time (file by file unpack) compared + to unpacking a whole archive with the first method. + + + Packing Files + If you want to create a new archive, begin by selecting + the elements you want to pack in the active panel and select + + + File + Pack + + or + &Alt; + P. A dialog will pop-up prompting + you to select the archive name and location. Select the packer + from one of the + supported file name + extensions. + To add files to an existing archive(s), open the archive + in one panel and the files to be copied in the other panel, + then simply copy the files into the archive in exactly the same + way you copy files into a "normal" directory. + + + Testing Archives + Krusader will not handle corrupted archives since it may + result in data loss. If you receive an error message when + opening an archive, or if you suspect that there is something + wrong with the archive, you should test it before use. To test + an archive, browse (navigate) to the archive location and + select the archive. Next select + + + File + Test Archive + + or + &Alt; + E. &krusader; will test + the archive file and inform you whether the archive passed or + failed the file integrity test. + + -- cgit v1.2.1
