| - | ''Tutorial under development'' | + | If you are looking for a program to easily create new archives, DropIt can be the solution. |

| + | ===== Use DropIt as Archiver ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The easiest way to use DropIt to compress files and folders is to create the ''Archiver'' special profile: | ||
| + | - open the ''Customize Profiles'' window (from ''Profiles'' >> ''Customize'') | ||
| + | - right-click the list of profiles and select ''Examples'' >> ''Archiver'' | ||
| + | - close the ''Customize Profiles'' and switch to the new profile (selecting it from ''Profiles'') | ||
| + | - drag-and-drop files/folders on the floating icon to compress them (as ZIP archives) | ||
| + | |||
| + | \\ | ||

| + | |||
| + | ===== Customize Compression ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now, if you want, you can customize compression creating and editing associations. For additional information you could read:\\ | ||
| + | [[howto:manage_your_associations|How to manage your associations]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Some tips and tricks: | ||
| + | * if you want to create an archive for each loaded file/folder, a possible solution is to define a destination like ''C:\Example\%FileName%.zip'', to automatically use the original filename for the archives; | ||
| + | |||
| + | * if you want to create the archive in the same directory of the compressed files/folders, you can simply define a "Destination" like ''%FileName%.zip'' (a relative path); | ||
| + | |||
| + | * if you want to remove the source file/folder after compression, you can easily enable this option from "Configure" window of each association; | ||
| + | |||
| + | * from the same window you can also define the compression settings (format, level, method, encryption); | ||
| + | |||
| + | * if you try compress files/folders in a already existent archive, one of the supported solutions is to "Merge" them to the archive; | ||
| + | |||
| + | * if you want, you can also create archives defining different extensions (like XPI or JA) in destination, but using the supported algorithms (ZIP and 7Z) for compression. | ||
