To configure Archive preferences, open the Preferences dialog box and go to .
The following options are available in the Archive preferences panel:
- Archive backup options - Controls if the application makes backup
copies of the modified archives. The following options are available:
- Always create backup copies of modified archives - When you modify an archive, its content is backed up.
- Never create backup copies of modified archives - No backup copy is created.
- Ask for each archive once per session - Once per application
session for each modified archive, user confirmation is required to create the backup.
This is the default setting.Note: Backup files have the name originalArchiveFileName.bak and are located in the same folder as the original archive.
- Archive types - This table contains all known archive extensions
mapped to known archive formats. Each row maps a list of extensions to an archive type
supported in Oxygen XML Editor. You can edit an existing mapping or create a new one by
associating your own list of extensions to an archive format.
Important: You have to restart Oxygen XML Editor after removing an extension from the table in order for that extension to not be recognised anymore as an archive extension.
- Store Unicode file names in Zip archives - Use this option when you archive files that contain international (that is, non-English) characters in file names or file comments. If this option is selected and an archive is modified in any way, UTF-8 characters are used in the names of all files in the archive.
