Dialog Box Options

- Displays a list of all packers used by the Pack command. You can reorder the names according to the packers you use most often.
- Pack with
- Specifies the packer used for the selected packer name. It can be either an external program or a plugin.
- Default extension
- Specifies the extension used when a new archive is created with the Pack command.
- Pack to archive
- When an external program is used for packing, Command specifies the file name of the external archiver to use. Using a variable from External Archivers Locations is recommended when the packer is known in Sally. Arguments are the parameters passed to the external program.
- Pack to archive and then delete from disk
- When an external program is used for packing and supports deleting files, Command specifies the file name of the external archiver to use. Using a variable from External Archivers Locations is recommended. Arguments are the parameters passed to the external program.
- Support long names
- Check this check box when the external archiver supports long file names. Otherwise, clear this check box and Sally uses MS-DOS 8.3 file names.
- Need List of Files in ANSI Charset
- Check this check box if the external program used for packing and deleting files requires a list of files in ANSI charset (some Win32 archivers). Clear this check box if it requires a list of files in OEM charset.
