Zip File Extraction; Find Irl/Irv Files - AMX NetLinx Studio Instruction Manual


When extracted, the program will always replicate the directory paths associated with the compressed files
when the file was created. To use the original directory paths, enter C:\ as the destination directory. For
example if you enter C:\ as the destination directory, you know that the NetLinx.axi file will be copied into
the proper directory for compiling (C:\Program Files\Common Files\AMXShare\AXIs).

If a file with the same name already exists in the specified target directory, the program alerts you, and
prompts you to overwrite it or pick a different target directory.

If you enter non-existent folders, the program will create them for you.
The error "Dynazip Unzip Error: Bad or missing decryption key (Problem extracting
file(s))" indicates a mismatch between the password assigned to the file (via the
Build With Password option), and the NetLinx password entered in the NetLinx
Compiler tab of the Preferences dialog (Password field). If you receive this error
message, click OK in the error message dialog to access the Enter Password dialog,
and re-enter the password exactly as it was entered when the file was compiled.

ZIP File Extraction

NetLinx Studio allows you to export an entire Workspace (including all contained Projects, Systems and System Files)
as a .ZIP file. The Extract From ZIP File command allows you to extract these files:
1.
Select Tools > File Extraction > Extract From ZIP File to access the Select ZIP File For Extraction dialog.
2.
Locate and select the ZIP file you want to extract, and click Open.
While this feature exists primarily to allow you to unzip exported Workspace files, you
can use this feature to unzip any .ZIP file.
3.
In the Files From a ZIP File dialog, the selected file (with full directory path) is indicated in the ZIP File To
Extract From field.
Select the Extract using original directory path(s) option to preserve the original directory paths of the files
(default = disabled).
4.
In the Extract To field, specify the target directory for the extracted Workspace files, and click Extract to extract
the files.
If a file with the same name already exists in the specified target directory, the
program alerts you, and prompts you to overwrite it or pick a different target directory.
