-''Tutorial under development''
+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.
