Archieven maken

  3. Enter the name of the new archive, including the file extension, in the Name text box. Alternatively you can specify the archive name without extension, and then select the archive type from the Archive type drop-down menu, this way the extension will be added automatically.

You can also add files to an archive in a file manager window, without opening an Archive Manager window. See Paragraaf 8 ― Using the File Manager to Work with an Archive for more information.

The Add operation adds a copy of the specified files or folders to the archive. Archive Manager does not remove the original files, which remain unchanged in the file system. The copies that are added to the archive have the same permissions and modification date as the original files.
