Add

An entire directory or selected files may be added to the "Selected" list. As you add each selection to the list, the "Encrypt, "Store path", "Store path of selected dir", "Subdirectories", "Freshen", "Update", "System/Hidden", "Grow", ".Zip date", "After date:", and compression speed choices will be applied to the selected files and directories. Additions may be made to a New zip file or to an existing (and already "Open") zip file.

Note: Choose the options that you wish to use BEFORE selecting files or directories to be added to the zip file. You will notice that your chosen options will be included in the list of files to be zipped. Choose options first, THEN choose files and directories.

Compression can be adjusted, by dragging the slider button, from 1 (the fastest compression mode->larger zip files) to 9 (the slowest compression mode->smallest zip files).

Once files have been added to the "Selected" list, they may be highlighted. Files selected (highlighted) when the "Delete" button is pressed will be removed from the "Selected" list.

Files are not actually zipped and added to the zip file until the "OK" button is pressed.

"Cancel" - All proposed additions to the zip file are cancelled.

"OK" - begins the Add process. All directories and files in the Selected list will be added to the zip fle regardless of whether they are highlighted or not. Depending on the number of files to be added, this may be a quick or slow process. A progress window will be displayed.
