Saving an archive Next
toolbar icon for saving a zip file Menu : File > Save...

After adding or deleting items in an archive you will need to save your changes.

When the archive needs saving the toolbar icon will change from gray to red.

If it is a new archive you will be prompted to enter a file name, the file extension that you choose will determine what sort of archive is created.

The following file extensions are recognised. The application searches the list from the top and uses the first matching extension to decide the file type.
