Help file for ArchiveInspector, v0.9beta

This is a pretty simple little program.

You select an archive file in the File Viewer, and then go Tools->Inspector from the menu, and select "Contents" from the little button on the inspector panel. You can avoid the menu, and use the hot-key "CMD-2" as well.

What you get is a browser panel with a few buttons.

"Refresh" does just that, it reloads the browser from the file again. Since this module is smart and doesn't re-load the contents of the archive if you haven't changed files since the last time, this can force a re-load if, for instance, you have modified the file from another program or the command-line.

"Extract Sel." extracts the currently selected file (or directory) from the inspector's browser. The file is extracted into the same directory as the archive, preserving the directory structure from the archive.

"Extract to other dir" does as the previous, except it prompts you for a directory to do the extraction of files to.

"Extract all" expands the entire archive, into the current directory.

"Info" is pretty basic. You can probably figure it out.

Have fun.
