Browser Usage

Following are the different elements that are contained in a file browser (from top to bottom):

Current File/Directory Name

This window displays the name of the current directory in the file browser.  If an archive file is open, the name of the open file will be displayed.

Compress/Uncompress Receptacles

Drag files to the Compress and Uncompress Receptacles (See Receptacle Usage)  to compress or uncompress files in the current file browser.

Drive Selector

Click on the down-arrow of this window to display a list of all active DOS Drives.  Select a drive switch the file browser to the current directory of the selected drive.

Listbox

This window displays the contents of the current directory of the file browser or the contents of an open archive file.  Files from the listbox can be dragged to the Receptacles (See Receptacle Usage) or another listbox to perform file or archive management.  Double click on an archive file to open it and display its contents.  Double clicking a directory will switch to that directory.  Double clicking any other file will try to execute that file if it is an executable, or find an associated application otherwise.

File Size Display

This window displays the size of all selected files.  Directories count as a size of zero.  If an archive file is open, the size is the size of the file if it were to be uncompressed.


Mouse Usage

CCIZip adds to dimensions of mouse usage that are found in most modern programs.  Thefirst of these features is Drag and Drop.  Selected files from either of the listboxes can be dragged to another listbox, or any of the available Receptacles.  This drag and drop technique can be used as a replacement for using the Pull down menus.  The second feature is Pop Up Menus.  By clicking the right mouse button on a file or on a browser,you will be presented with a quick list of items that are releated to the specific area you clicked on.


Receptacle Usage

All actions using receptacles are initiated by dragging a group of selected files to the receptacle (See Mouse Usage).

There is one compress receptacle for each browser.  Dragging files to the compress receptacle will add those files to an archive file.  If an archive file is open in that receptacle, the files will be added to the archive file using the options specified for the archive program.  Otherwise, you will be prompted to enter a new archive file name.

There is one uncompress receptacle for each browser.  Dragging files to the uncompress receptace will uncompress files to the directory of the browser that contains the receptacle.  The destination browser must be in file viewing mode (i.e. an arhive file can not be open).  If a list of archive files is dragged to the receptacle, each archive file will be completely uncompressed using the options specified for each archive program.  Otherwise, the selected files within an open archive file will be uncompressed.

Dragging files to the delete receptacle will cause those files to be deleted.  If a directory is dragged, that directory and all of its subdirectories will be deleted.  If selected files from an open archive file are dragged, those files will be removed from the archive file.

Dragging archive files to the scan receptacle will cause the archive files to be uncompressed in a temporary directory, that directory will then be scanned for viruses using the selected scanning program.  The temporary directory will then be removed.

Dragging archive files to the view receptacle will view the contents of that archive file.  If selected files from an open archive file are dragged, the contents of those files will be displayed.  NOTE:  The display ot the selected files should only be used on ASCII files.

Dragging archive files to the convert receptacle will convert those archive files to the format of another archive program.
