<title>Browsing Archives</title>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>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 &tdewallet;. Please note that the archive
|
|
|
|
|
support first needs to be properly
|
|
|
|
|
<link linkend="konfig-archives">configured</link> in
|
|
|
|
|
Konfigurator. To open the archive, use &Enter;,
|
|
|
|
|
(double-)click or the
|
|
|
|
|
<keycap>Right Arrow</keycap>. &krusader; supports
|
|
|
|
|
also
|
|
|
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">hidden archives</emphasis>, 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
|
|
|
|
|
<keycap>Right Arrow</keycap> 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
|
|
|
|
|
<keycap>Right Arrow</keycap> even if it has another mime type.
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that browsing archives has a few limitations:

<para>If you want to unpack a whole archive(s), browse to the

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.</para>

<para>If you only want to extract a part of the archive, then
|
|
|
|
|
<link linkend="browsing-archives">browse</link> 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.</para>

<para>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
