Zip Settings



Zip Settings


  • Zip path : path to the Zip executable, if you put it in one of the standard search paths, such as /boot/home/config/bin/, you can just type in the name of the application.
  • Unzip path : path to the Unzip executable, if you put it in one of the standard search paths, such as /boot/home/config/bin/, you can just type in the name of the application.
  • The compression level can be set to values ranging from 0 to 9, the default value is 6.
    Select 0 to skip compression of files, 1 for the fastest compression level(but poor compression ratio) up to 9 for the best compression(but slower compression times). It's recommended to always use level 9, as it is fast enough on all modern machines.
  • Archive attributes : saves BeOS attributes in the archive, it's recommended to keep this option on if you plan to use the generated archives on BeOS machines.
  • Extract attributes : restores BeOS attributes from the archive; you should generally keep this option on.
  • Cancel : Discards changes and closes the window.
  • Save as Default : Saves the current settings as the default settings for Zip and closes the window. All new archives of this type will use these settings by default.
  • Save : Saves current settings and closes the window.
