This page handles the way Krusader works with archives. In the General section you'll see a list of archive formats. Some are checked and some are grayed-out. The ones that are available (not grayed-out) are supported by Krusader. If you check them, then Krusader will handle them transparently and let you open them as folders. Otherwise, Krusader will attempt to invoke an application which opens that type of archive. If a certain archive is grayed-out, it means that Krusader couldn't find the appropriate executables in the configured path. Please configure the full path of the packagers in the Konfigurator Dependencie page (e.g. to handle ZIP archives, Krusader needs the unzip and zip executables).
Konfigurator Archives page.
If you've installed a certain archive application (let's say arj) and want Krusader to know about it, just click the "Auto Configure" button. Krusader will search for all supported executables and print a report listing the archive formats that can be handled. If all went well the new archive should be available and checked.
Please install new packagers to your PATH (i.e.: /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin etc.)
Fine-Tuning
"Allow moving into archives": this option allows you to move files into an archive (as opposed to just copying into the archive). The down side is that if a power failure occurs during the process, the files that were moved might already be deleted, but not yet packed into the archive.
If such thing happens, the file(s) are NOT LOST. They were actually moved into a subfolder in the Krusader's temp directory. You can search that directory and find your files, safe and sound.
"Test archives when finished packing": this option automatically runs a test on a newly packed archive. It is safer, but takes longer.
