ZIP Files Manipulation Window

The contents pane allows to scroll the list of the files contained inside the compressed ZIP archive. The contents list displays archive contents and dimensions of each file in compressed and expanded format. Double clicking on a filename or hitting enter on it decompresses the selected file and invokes the basic Windows system applets suitable for the display of the file. Terminating the applet deletes the temporarily file. List selected files are expanded and shown only if there is enough free disk space on drive C: .

Invoked applets are Paintbrush, Write, Notepad and the Multimedia Player.

Multimedia drivers must have been installed properly for Multimedia Player to operate correctly.

If you need to create a new directory, do so by invoking the Directory Creation option from the menu, you will be presented a window which allows you to navigate the current destination disk and choose the name of a new directory. ZipScope is capable to view and expand ZIP files containing sub-directories. ZipScope is limited to ZIP archives containing no more than about 1000 files.
