Zip - i-mate PDA2 User Manual

9.7 ZIP

ZIP allows you to save memory and increase the storage capacity of your Pocket PC Phone
by compressing files in the conventional "zip" format. You can view and extract archive files
received via web download, E-mail attachment, other mobile devices, or PCs. Or, create
new zip files on your Pocket PC Phone.
Starting ZIP and opening a .zip file
Each time ZIP is started, it will search for all files on the Pocket PC Phone that have the .zip
extension, and it displays these files in the Archive List screen. To start ZIP:
1. Select Start > Programs > ZIP. The .zip files currently on your Pocket PC Phone will be
listed in the Archive List screen.
2. To open a file, you can do any of the following:
• Tap the file and select Open Archive from the File menu.
• Tap-and-hold on the file and select Open Archive from the pop-up menu.
• Double-tap on the desired file.
Customizing the view
You can manipulate how the files or parent archive files are displayed by selecting either
Large Icons, Small Icons, List, or Details from the View menu. The tabs in the Tools
Menu > Options screen also allow you to set various ZIP behaviors to your own prefer-
ences. Each tab also contains a Reset button which resets all settings in the current tab
to the original default settings.
Archive List screen
When a search for archive .zip files has completed, they will be listed in the Archive List
screen in the order that they were found. In this screen, there are two menus available,
the File Menu and the View Menu. The Toolbar is not displayed in the Archive List screen
because the following icons are incorporated into the Command Bar at the bottom of the
screen: Open Archive, New Archive, Delete Archive, Archive Properties, and Options.
To open the pop-up menu in the Archive List screen, tap-and-hold on any filename in the list.
The selected file will be the target of any operations performed from the menu. (Multiple
selection of .zip files is not allowed). After an archive file has been opened, ZIP will list the
files in the Individual File screen.
The New Archive... command lets you create a new empty file with a filename extension
