### About

The Archiver is a front end to many archive programs, it is a window that displays a contents list. The contents list displays the objects found in the archive specified on the location bar.

The Archiver allows you to create new archives and extract objects from existing archives.

The tool bar can be customized by going to Settings->Customize...

The location bar indicates which archive contents are being displayed on the contents list. You can open an archive directly by typing on the location bar and pressing `ENTER`. It also features auto-completion by press of the `TAB` key.

The write protect indicator displays whether the master write protect is on or off . If the indicator is then it means that no operations that would cause modifications would be allowed. You can toggle the master write protect by clicking on the indicator or by going to Settings->Write Protect.

The delete method indicator displays the delete method as recycle or purge . You can set the delete method by clicking on the indicator or by going to Settings->Delete Method: Recycle or Settings->Delete Method: Purge.

The progress bar indicates if an operation is in progress and its progress.

The status bar can display information about selected objects, the highlighted function, or the verbose progress of an operation.

The accelerator keys for certain functions are displayed next to each menu item on each menu on the menu bar. You can also customize the accelerator keys.
