Create new archive menu
Displays a submenu where you can select the type of archive you want to create. Please note that you need to have set up external compression programs in order to create Rar and Ace files. You can to this in the Preferences.
After selecting the archive format you will be presented with the New Archive dialog where you enter information about the archive. See the Working with archives section for more information on this.
Install
Today many applications are distributed in compressed form inside archives. The Install feature makes it easy to setup such programs on your system by automatically extracting the archive to a temporary folder and starting the installer without the need to first extract the archive.
Note: The archive should contain a file called either install.exe or setup.exe, otherwise this feature will not be available.
Checkout
When you select Checkout, Magellan Explorer will create a temporary folder and extract all the files within the open archive to this folder. This is convenient if you need to execute a program contained inside an archive and the install feature above is not sufficient (e.g. no file named install.exe or setup.exe).
Note: Any changes you make to these extracted files will not be automatically updated in the archive. You will have to update it manually.
