WHAT IS IT
~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a DOpus Magellan II module to browse through XAD supported
archives like they are directories or to extract them without browsing.
REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- AmigaOS 2.x+
- DOpus Magellan II V5.8+
- XADMaster package V7.0+
INSTALLATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was too lazy to write installation script so you have to do it
manually
- copy XADopus.module to DOpus5:Modules/
- go to FileType editor and edit every File/DiskArchive like this:
Double-click: Command XADOpen
Drag'n'drop: Command XADExtract
USAGE
~~~~~~~
After installing XADopus.module you can doubleclick any filearchive
(Lha/LZX/Zip/Tar/Arj/RAR/Zoo..) or disk archive (DMS..) and new lister
will popup in which are shown contents of archive. You can browse through
archive like it's an ordinary directory. Following commands are supported:
- Copy
- CopyAs
- Move (same as Copy)
- MoveAs (same as CopyAs)
- DoubleClick
- Drag'n'Drop (same as Copy)
- Play
- Show
- Read
- HexRead
- AnsiRead
If you Drag'n'Drop file archive it will be extracted to destination
with progress indicator. If you Drag'n'Drop disk archive you will be asked
if you want to extract files from disk archive or do you want to extract
disk archive to floppy or some other device (you will be asked to choose
compatible device from a list).
