The Main Window![]() General characteristics Just as the Tracker uses a separate window for each directory, Squeezer reserves a window for each archive you open. Moreover Squeezer stores the status of the window(size, position, sort mode, column size and position and toolbars status) within the archive, so as to be able to later reopen the archive with the same layout (you can disable this option in the General Settings window). The Menus
The toolbars can be reduced to just a thin box by double-clicking inside their empty areas and can be restored to their previous status by double-clicking again the thin box (you can also select the display status of the toolbars inside the Window Settings window). The Button Bar The button bar offers a selected set of buttons for the most common actions available, all of them are also available in the Project and Action menus. From left to right: Open, Extract, Extract To, View, Add, Makedir, Rename, Delete and Apply Changes. The Status Bar The small Squeezer icon on the left can be used to extract files by dragging it, see Viewing and Extracting Files for more details. The gauge bar on the right displays the percentage of bytes selected in the archive, compared with the total number of bytes. The Listview The size of the columns in the listview can be changed by clicking and dragging the left or right borders of each column title. The position of the columns can be changed by clicking inside the title area of a column and, while keeping the mouse button pressed, dragging the column to the left or right. Columns can also be hidden: you can open a menu by right clicking on the column titles and select which column to hide in it. The listview contents can be sorted both upwards and downwards by name, size, compressed size, ratio or date; just click on the column title of the column you want to sort to select the type of sorting you want(it cycles among upward sorting, downward sorting and no sorting). You can also chose to display the files and directories intermixed or separately sorted with an option available in the Window Settings window. Items maintain their selection status even when hidden in a folded directory and, as expected, their selection status can be changed even when hidden (for example selecting the Select All option selects hidden items too). ![]() Listview popup menu Each item has an associated popup menu (activated by the secondary mouse button). This popup menu offers a rich set of options to easily manipulate the items of your archive (current item refers to the item over which the menu has been opened):
