## Introducción

You can use the Archive Manager application to create, view, modify, or unpack an archive. An archive is a file that acts as a container for other files. An archive can contain many files, folders, and subfolders, usually in compressed form.

Archive Manager provides only a graphical interface, and relies on command-line utilities such as `tar`, `gzip`, and `bzip2` for archive operations.

If you have the appropriate command-line tools installed on your system, Archive Manager supports the archive formats listed in the following table.

Formato | Extensión de nombre de archivo
--- | ---
Archivador 7-zip | `.7z`
Archivador ACE | `.ace`
AlZip archive | `.alz`
Archivador AR | `.ar`
Archivador ARJ | `.arj`
Archivador Cabinet de Microsoft | `.cab`
Archivador CPIO | `.cpio`
Paquete Debian | `.deb`, `.udeb`
Publicación electrónica | `.epub`
RAW CD image (ISO 9660) | `.iso`
Archivador Java | `.jar`
Archivador EAR | `.ear`
Archivador WAR | `.war`
Archivador LHA | `.lha`, `.lzh`
Archivador RAR | `.rar`
Comic Book (RAR-compressed) | `.cbr`
Paquete RPM | `.rpm`
Archivador tar | `.tar`
Archivador tar comprimido con `bzip` | `.tar.bz` or `.tbz`
Archivador tar comprimido con `bzip2` | `.tar.bz2` or `.tbz2`
Archivador tar comprimido con `gzip` | `.tar.gz` or `.tgz` or `.taz`
Archivador tar comprimido con `lzip` | `.tar.lz` or `.tlz`
Archivador tar comprimido con `lzop` | `.tar.lzo` or `.tzo`
Archivador tar comprimido con `compress` | `.tar.Z` or `.taZ`
Archivador tar comprimido con `7zip` | `.tar.7z`
Archivador StuffIt | `.bin` or `.sit`
ZIP archive | `.zip`
Comic Book (ZIP-compressed) | `.cbz`
Archivador zoo | `.zoo`

The most common archive format on Linux and Unix-like systems is the tar archive compressed with `gzip` or `bzip2`.

The most common archive format on Microsoft Windows systems is the archive created with PKZIP or WinZip.

### Archivos comprimidos sin archivar

A compressed non-archive file is a file that is created when you use `bzip2`, `gzip`, `lzip`, `lzop`, `compress` or `rzip` to compress a non-archive file. For example, `file.txt.gz` is created when you use `gzip` to compress `file.txt`.

You can use Archive Manager to create, open and extract a compressed non-archive file.

## Cómo empezar

This section provides information on how to start Archive Manager, and describes the Archive Manager user interface.

### To Start Archive Manager

You can start Archive Manager in the following ways:

Menú Aplicaciones

  Choose Accessories Archive Manager.

Línea de órdenes

  Execute the following command: `engrampa`

### When You Start Archive Manager

When you start Archive Manager, the following window is displayed:

### Ventana del Gestor de archivadores

Muestra la ventana principal de Engrampa.

The Archive Manager window contains the following elements:

Barra de menú

  The menus on the menubar contain all of the commands that you need to work with archives in Archive Manager.

Barra de herramientas

  The toolbar contains a subset of the commands that you can access from the menubar. Archive Manager displays the toolbar by default. To hide the toolbar, choose View Toolbar. To show the toolbar, choose View Toolbar again.

Folderbar

  The folderbar enables you to navigate among folders within an archive. Archive Manager displays the folderbar only in folder view. See for more information.

Área de visualización

  The display area displays the contents of the archive.

Barra de estado

  The statusbar displays information about current Archive Manager activity and contextual information about the archive contents. Archive Manager displays the statusbar by default. To hide the statusbar, choose View Statusbar. To show the statusbar, choose View Statusbar again.

When you right-click in the Archive Manager window, the application displays a popup menu. The popup menu contains the most common contextual archive commands.

#### Browsing the Filesystem

Several Archive Manager dialogs (New, Open, Extract,...) enable you to browse files and folders on your computer. Refer to the Desktop User Guide to learn more about using the file browsing dialogs.

You can also refer to the Bookmarks section of the Desktop User Guide to learn how you can use the Places pane to access your favorite locations.

## Working With Archives

When you use Archive Manager to work with an archive, all changes are saved to disk immediately. For example, if you delete a file from an archive, Archive Manager deletes the file as soon as you click OK. This behavior is different to that of most applications, which save the changes to disk only when you quit the application or select Save in the menu.

If an archive is very large, or you have a slow system, some archive actions can take significant time. To abort the current action, press Esc. Alternatively, choose View Stop, or click Stop in the toolbar.

In Archive Manager, you can perform the same action in several ways. For example, you can open an archive in the following ways:

UI Component | Action
--- | ---
Window | Drag an archive into the Archive Manager window from another application such as a file manager.
Menubar | Choose Archive Open. If you have recently opened the archive, it will be listed directly in the Archive menu.
Toolbar | Click on the Open toolbar button. If you have recently opened the archive, click on the down arrow near the Open toolbar button.
Right-click popup menu | Right-click on the archive, then choose Open from the popup menu.
Shortcut keys | Press Ctrl O.

Este manual documenta la funcionalidad de la barra de menús.

### Patrones de nombre de archivo

Archive Manager enables you to add, extract, or delete several files at once. To apply an action to all files that match a certain pattern, enter the pattern in the text box. The pattern can include standard wildcard symbols such as * to match any string, and ? to match any single symbol. You can enter several patterns separated by semicolons. Archive Manager applies the action to all files that match at least one of the patterns. The examples in the following table show how to use filename patterns to select files.

Patrón | Archivos que coinciden
--- | ---
`*` | Todos los archivos
`*.tar*` | All files with extension `tar`, including those in which the `tar` extension is followed by any sequence of symbols, such as `filename.tar.gz`
`*.jpg; *.jpeg` | All files with extension `jpg` and all files with extension `jpeg`
`file?.gz` | All files with extension `gz` that have the name "file" followed by any single character, e.g. `file2.gz`, `filex.gz`.

- The archive name in the window titlebar

- The archive contents in the display area

- The number files and folders (objects) in the current location, and their size when uncompressed, in the statusbar

To open another archive, choose Archive Open again. Archive Manager opens each archive in a new window. You can't open another archive in the same window.

If you try to open an archive that was created in a format that Archive Manager does not recognize, the application displays an error message. See for a list of supported formats.

## Modificar el contenido de un archivador

Ud puede modificar el contenido de un archivador de varias maneras.

### To Encrypt Files in an Archive

For security, you might want to encrypt the files that you add to an archive.

If the archive format supports encryption, you can specify a password to encrypt the files that you add to the archive.

Currently, only 7-Zip, ZIP, RAR and ARJ archives support encryption.

To specify a password for file encryption, perform the following steps:

1. Choose Edit Password to display the Password dialog.

4. Haga clic en OK.

### To Modify a File in an Archive

Para modificar un archivo en un archivador, ejecute los siguientes pasos:

Gestor de Archivador utiliza asociaciones definidas por el sistema entre tipos de archivo y programas para determinar la aplicación apropiada para ejecutar un archivo específico. Estas asociaciones pueden ser representadas y modificadas dentro de la lengüeta Abrir con en el diálogo de propiedades del archivo. Si el Gestor de Archivadores no se puede determinar no puede determinar la aplicación apropiada. El Gestor de Archivadores representa el diálogo Abrir Archivos para permitirle elegir una aplicación, como describí a continuación.

#### To Modify a File in an Archive with a Custom Application

You can use an application specified by you, rather than the default application, to modify a file. To use an external application to open a file:

1. Right click the file.

## Ver archivadores

Archive Manager enables you to view several aspects of an archive.

### To View the Properties of an Archive

To view the properties of an archive, choose Archive Properties to display the Properties dialog. The Properties dialog displays the following information about the archive:

Name

  The name of the archive.

Location

  The position of the archive in the file system.

Modified on

  The date and time at which the archive was last modified.

Archive size

  The size of the archive contents when compressed.

Content size

  The size of the archive contents when uncompressed. This information is also available in the statusbar.

Compression ratio

  The compression ratio is a value used to describe the reduction in size of the data. For example a compression ratio of 5 means that the compressed archive is 1/5th the size of the original data.

Number of files

  The number of files in the archive.

### To View the Contents of an Archive

Archive Manager displays the archive contents in the main window as a file list with the following columns:

Name

  The name of a file or folder in the archive.

Size

  The size of the file when the file is extracted from the archive. For a folder, the Size field is blank. For information on how to display the size of the compressed file, see .

Type

  The type of the file. For a folder, the value in the Type field is `Folder`.

Date modified

  The date on which the file was last modified. For a folder, the Date modified field is blank.

Location

  The path to the file within the archive. This column is visible only when the window is in file view, when in folder view the location of the files is displayed in the Location text box of the folderbar. For more information about view types see .

If another program has modified the archive since Archive Manager opened the archive, choose View Reload to reload the archive contents from disk.

For information on how to customize the way that Archive Manager displays the archive contents, see .

For more advanced tasks, use an application installed on your system. For more information, see .

### To View a File in an Archive

To view a file in an archive follow the steps described in . If you save the opened file, click Cancel when Archive Manager asks confirmation to update the file in the archive.

### To Test the Integrity of an Archive

Sometimes an archive can be damaged for some reason, to check whether an archive is damaged, choose Archive Test Integrity:

- If the archive contains no errors, Archive Manager opens the Test Result dialog to list each file in the archive, and indicates that each file has status `OK`.

- If the archive contains some error, Archive Manager opens the Test Result dialog displaying the part of the archive contains the error.

A damaged archive can be impossible to extract, this can bring to a loss of data. For this reason you should test the archive integrity before deleting the original files.

If the archive contains encrypted files, Archive Manager asks the password of the archive before performing the test.

Not all the archive types support the integrity testing, the following is the list of archive types that can be tested for integrity: 7-Zip, RAR, ZIP, ACE, ARJ and Zoo.

### Sugerencia

To test the integrity of an archive that doesn't support the integrity testing, extract all the files from the archive and check that the operation is completed successfully.

## Customizing the Archive Display

You can customize the way that Archive Manager displays the archive contents, as follows:

- Switch between folder view and file view. For more information, see .

- Specify the order in which to display files in the list. For more information, see .

- Display additional details about the contents of the archive. For more information, see .

Archive Manager updates the display immediately, when you make any of the above customizations.

### To Set the View Type

If the archive contains folders, you can show the archive contents in either or .

#### Vista de carpeta

Archive Manager displays the archive contents in folder view by default. To explicitly select folder view, choose View View as a Folder.

In folder view, Archive Manager shows folders in the same way as a file manager shows folders. That is, Archive Manager indicates folders in the display area with a folder icon and the folder name. To view the contents of a folder, double-click on the folder name.

The folderbar, which Archive Manager displays only in folder view, contains the components described in the following table.

Componente | Descripción
--- | ---
Shows icon to navigate backwards in location history list. | Click on this button to navigate backwards in the location history list.
Shows icon to navigate forwards in location history list. | Click on this button to navigate forwards in the location history list.
Shows icon to navigate up one level in folder tree. | Click on this button to navigate up one level in the folder tree.
Shows icon to open the top-level folder in the archive. | Click on this button to open the top-level folder in the archive.
Ubicación | This field shows the full pathname, within the archive, of the current folder. To change to a different level in the folder tree, type the new location in the Location text box then press Return. Archive Manager displays the contents of the new location.

#### File View

To select file view, choose View View All Files.

In file view, Archive Manager displays all files in the archive, including files from subfolders, in a single list.

### To Sort the File List

You can sort the file list by name, size, type, modification date, or location.

To specify a sort order, click on the heading of the corresponding column.

To reverse the sort order, click on the column heading again.

For example, to sort the file list by modification date, click on the Date modified heading. Archive Manager rearranges the file list to display the files by modification date, starting with the earliest. To display the latest files first, click on the Date modified heading again.

Archive Manager always performs a secondary sort based on the file name. In the above example, Archive Manager sorts by name any files that have the same modification date.

### To Display Additional Details

To open the Last Output dialog, choose View Last Output:

- If you tested the archive in the current Archive Manager session, the Last Output dialog displays the results of the last test.

- If you did not test the archive in the current Archive Manager session, the Last Output dialog displays a list of all files in the archive, but does not indicate any status for the files. Instead, the Last Output dialog provides the compressed size of each file and the percentage of compression, and the date and time at which the file was last modified.

## Using the File Manager to Work with an Archive

You can use the file manager to add files to an archive, or to extract files from an archive.

### To Add Files to an Archive by Using the File Manager

You can use the file manager to add files to an archive, in the following ways:

- Drag the files into a Archive Manager window from a file manager window.

- Use the file manager popup menu to add the files to the archive.

To use the file manager popup menu to add files to an archive, perform the following steps:

1. Right-click on the files or folders in a file manager window.

2. Choose Create Archive from the file manager popup menu to display the Archive Manager Create Archive dialog.

3. Enter the archive name, without the file extension, in the Archive text box.

4. Choose the archive type from the drop-down list.

5. Choose the location where to save the archive file, from the Location drop-down list. If the location is not present in the list choose Other... to select it with the Location dialog.

6. Select the required create options clicking on Other Options. For more information about the create options, see .

7. Click Create to add the selected files to the root folder of the specified archive.

   To select any of the advanced add options, you must invoke Archive Manager as described in .

### To Extract Files From an Archive by Using the File Manager

You can use the file manager to extract files from an archive, in the following ways:

- Drag the files from a Archive Manager window into a file manager window.

- Use the file manager popup menu to extract the files from the archive.

To use the file manager popup menu to extract files from an archive, perform the following steps:

1. Right-click on the archive in a file manager window.

2. Choose Extract Here to extract all of the archive contents into the directory where the archive is located.

If the archive is encrypted, Archive Manager will ask to enter the password before extracting the files.

## Crear opciones

When creating a new archive, or when converting an existing archive to another format, click on Other Options to specify the following advanced options:

Contraseña

  Type the password that will be used to encrypt the archive. If no password is specified the archive will not be encrypted.

  Not all archive types support encryption. For more information about file encryption, see .

Encrypt the file list too

  If this option is selected, the password will be requested even to view the list of files contained in the archive, otherwise it will be requested only to extract the files from the archive. This option is available only if a password is specified.

Separar en volúmenes

  Select this option to split the archive in more files of the specified dimension.

  Only 7-Zip and RAR archives support this feature.

## Add Options

The Add Files and Add a Folder dialogs provide the following option:

Add only if newer

  Select this option to add the specified file to the archive only if the archive does not contain the specified file, or if the archive contains an older version of the specified file. Archive Manager uses the modification date to determine which file is the most recent. If the version of the file in the archive is the most recent, Archive Manager does not add the specified file to the archive.

  If you do not select this option, Archive Manager adds the file to the archive and overwrites the previous archive contents.

  ## Sugerencia

  If you use Archive Manager to create backups, the Add only if newer option is very useful. For example, the archive `backup.tar.gz` contains a week-old backup of your home folder. To update the archive to contain a current backup of your home folder, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the `backup.tar.gz` archive in Archive Manager.

  2. Choose Edit Add to display the Add a Folder dialog.

  3. Select your home folder.

  4. Select the Add only if newer option.

  5. Click Add.

  Archive Manager automatically adds to the archive all files that you created during the last week, and updates all files that you modified during the last week. However, Archive Manager does not remove from the archive the files that you deleted during the last week. The archive update operation is much faster than doing a full backup of your home folder.

### Add to Folder Options

The following options are available in the Add a Folder dialog and allow to automatically select and add all files that satisfy certain criteria:

Include files

  Type a filename pattern in this text box to include files with names that match the specified pattern. See for more information about filename patterns.

Exclude files

  Type a filename pattern in this text box to exclude files with names that match the specified pattern. See for more information about filename patterns.

Exclude folders

  Type a filename pattern in this text box to exclude folders with names that match the specified pattern. See for more information about filename patterns.

Include subfolders

  Select this option to add all files that match the specified pattern, from the current folder and from subfolders.

  The filename, not the subfolder name, must match the specified pattern.

  If you do not select this option, Archive Manager adds the matching files from the current folder only.

Excluir carpetas que son enlaces simbólicos

  Select this option to omit files from folders that are symbolic links. Symbolic links are pointers or shortcuts to other folders.

  If you do not select this option, Archive Manager adds the matching files from folders that are symbolic links.

Acciones

  Seleccionar las siguientes opciones de extracción:

  Recrear carpetas

    Select this option to reconstruct the folder structure when extracting the specified files.

    For example, you specify `/tmp` in the Filename text box and choose to extract all files. The archive contains a subfolder called `doc`.

    - If you select the Re-create folders option, Archive Manager extracts the contents of the subfolder to `/tmp/doc`.

    - If you do not select the Re-create folders option, Archive Manager does not create any subfolders. Instead, Archive Manager extracts all files from the archive, including files from subfolders, to `/tmp`.

  Sobrescribir los archivos existentes

    Select this option to overwrite any files in the destination folder that have the same name as the specified files.

    If you do not select this option, Archive Manager does not extract the specified file if an existing file with the same name already exists in the destination folder.

  No extraiga archivos antiguos

    This option is only effective while the Overwrite existing files option is selected.

    Select the Do not extract older files option to extract the specified file only if the destination folder does not contain the specified file, or if the destination folder contains an older version of the specified file. Archive Manager uses the modification date to determine which file is the most recent. If the version of the file in the archive is older, Archive Manager does not extract the specified file to the destination folder.

    If you do not select the Do not extract older files option while the Overwrite existing files option is selected, Archive Manager extracts the specified file from the archive and overwrites the previous contents of the destination folder.
