Add Dialog Box Options

The Add dialog box include these options:

• The Action drop-down list provides four choices. Note that all of these choices replace any files already in the archive that have the same name and folder information as files that are being added or updated:
  • Add (and replace) files: adds all specified files to the archive.
  • Freshen existing files: updates files already in the archive that match the specified files. No new files are added.
  • Move (and replace) files: the same as Add except that files are deleted from disk or moved to the Recycle Bin after they have been added.
  • Update (and add) files: works the same as Freshen, but adds any specified files that are not already in the archive.
• Please see Choosing a compression method for additional information on compression methods.
• The Split Zip file dropdown allows you to split your large Zip files as they are created. Choose a predetermined size from the list or choose "Other size" and enter a size of your choice. See Splitting Zip files for more information.
• The Multiple disk spanning drop-down list controls how WinZip handles disk-full conditions while creating a new Zip file on removable media, such as a diskette. This drop-down list is disabled (not available) unless you are working with a new Zip file on removable media. When this drop-down list is available, you can select from one of three available values:
  • Automatic will automatically prompt for another diskette when the diskette on which you are creating a Zip file is full.
  • Automatic + wipe first disk prompt is the same as Automatic, but will give you the opportunity to erase any files on the first diskette.
  • No Spanning results in a "disk full" error message if the size of the Zip file exceeds the space available on the removable diskette.
• The Add with wildcards button adds the files specified in the File name field. (In Windows "wildcards" are the asterisk and question mark characters. These let you specify multiple files at once, for example, "*.Txt" refers to all files with a file type of "Txt".)
• The Change Compression button determines the compression method.
  • Legacy compression: This method, referred to as Maximum Deflate in earlier versions of WinZip, provides good, fast compression that is compatible with virtually all Zip file utilities. You may want to choose this option if speed of compression is a primary concern, or if you are sending the Zip file to others who may not have a Zip file utility that can extract files compressed with newer methods.
  • Optimize for maximum compression (sometimes called "Best Method"): This choice allows WinZip to choose the best compression method for each file, based on the file type. You may want to choose this option if compressed file size is a primary concern. If you are planning to share the Zip file with others, you should be sure that they are using WinZip 11.0 or another Zip file utility that is compatible with all of WinZip 11.0's compression methods.
  • Let me choose: If you choose this option you can select a specific compression method from a list that includes None, SuperFast, Enhanced Deflate, bzip2, and PPMd.
• If the Encrypt added files checkbox is checked, the files you are adding will be encrypted. WinZip will ask you for an encryption method and password. Please be sure to read About Encryption before using encryption.
• The Include system and hidden files option causes WinZip to add files with the system and hidden attributes. Normally files with these attributes are included.
• The Save full path info checkbox causes WinZip to store complete path information (from the root folder) with all files added.
• The Include subfolders checkbox determines whether WinZip traverses all folders underneath the specified folder when looking for files to add. This provides an easy way to archive all files underneath the folder containing the specified file.
• Note: to restore a branch of a folder added with the Include subfolders option, be sure to select the Use folder names check box in the Extract dialog box.
• The Archive Attributes section controls WinZip's handling of file attributes. Attributes are an advanced subject; you do not need to understand attributes for normal WinZip operation. If you are interested but not familiar with read-only, hidden, system, and archive attributes, please refer to your Windows documentation. This section contains two options:
  • The Include only if archive attribute is set option excludes files whose archive attribute is not set.
  • The Reset archive attribute turns off a file's archive attribute after the file is added to the Zip file.

Note:

The Include only if archive attribute is set checkbox will exclude files whose archive attribute is not set. This option does not control which folders are searched when the Include subfolders option is selected.
