Another feature that I liked was that the Startscreen remembered the archives that I had opened in the previous sessions. Ashampoo ZIP adds its own icons (if you associate it to be the default file handler for archive formats), and uses different icons for different formats. There's one other thing which I thought was worth mentioning. You don't have to restart Explorer, but you'll need to close the Configuration window for the changes to take effect. But, I didn't like the huge list it added to the menu.įortunately, you can customize it from the program's Options > Shell Extensions screen. Like most compression tools, Ashampoo ZIP Free comes with a context menu for Windows Explorer. Then I noticed there were four vertical dots in the right-edge of the screen and the cursor changed to a re-size arrow. Note: While testing the program, the preview pane got minimized, but I don't remember how it happened. You can disable the preview window from the Preview tab if you don't want to use it, or display it only when you need it. This is really handy as you don't have to open the file in a third-party app, when you're creating or browsing an archive. Select a text file or RTF, or an image, media (audio or video), Hex, Binary, Unicode, and you'll see a preview of it right within the program's GUI. Preview PaneĪshampoo ZIP Free's Preview pane can be used to view the contents of files. Click on the email button in the Home tab to attach the selected archive to a new mail (opens in your default mail client). It can also be used to access the sorting options, and to change the view style. Alternatively, Right-click in the main pane to extract, delete files from the archive. To retrieve content from an archive, mark the files and folders that you want, hit the Extract button and choose a folder to extract them to. You can password-protect individual files in an archive, and leave the rest as they are or use a password for the entire archive. Note: The program will open a page in your web browser, when you try to access the PRO version's features.Īshampoo ZIP Free supports encryption of archives using the AES 256 bit standard. The resultant file's size also depends on the content that you're trying to compress. If you want to save space, choose Maximum or Ultra, but these use a lot of memory, so you should ensure you aren't running memory-heavy programs in the background for an optimal experience. The lower the level, the bigger the archive size will be. The compression level (from Super Fast, Fast, Normal, Maximum and up to Ultra) determines the output size of the archive. You can choose the compression level here, along with options to preserve the folder paths. The Select Files/Folders screen allows you to choose the method for archiving (Deflate, Store).
