Previewing
Selecting Preview from the Functions menu (or clicking the eye icon) ac-
tivates the Preview mode. In this mode, some additional information is
shown in the Archive window:
• The Preview column shows the path of the files (the locations in which they will be
extracted, taking the file extraction settings into account).
• The Destination column shows whether there are files of the same name in the
destination folders, and whether these are older, newer or have the same date as
the archived files. “Not existing” means that there is no file of the same name in
the destination folder.
Testing the archive
To check that the archive is OK, proceed as follows:
1. Select “Test archive’s integrity” from the Functions pop-up menu (or click
the yellow arrow icon).
The File Extraction Settings dialog appears, allowing you to check the settings.
2. In the dialog, click the “Test” button.
A message will tell you whether the archive is OK.
Extracting
To extract archived files, proceed as follows:
1. If you want to extract some files only, select these.
Use [Ctrl]-clicking to select several files, or [Shift]-clicking to select a range of files.
2. Select “Extract” from the Functions pop-up menu (or click the green arrow
icon).
The File Extraction Settings dialog appears, allowing you to check the settings. If you want
to extract the selected files only, make sure this option is selected in the dialog.
3. In the dialog, click the “Extract” button.
The files are extracted. If you activated the “Open containing folder(s) at the end” option in
the dialog, the destination folders will automatically be opened.
• When you extract archived OSQ files with the “Convert OSQ files to WAV”
option activated, the files are restored to WAV format, with their original au-
dio data intact.
