 Editing Comments

Some archivers supports comments, for example, the zip archiver supports zipfile comments. To edit the comments of the archive, click Actions –> Comments.

You will see a Comments window which has an editable textarea with the archive's comments. Here you can modify the comments. Press "Save" button to save the modified comment to the archive. Pressing "Cancel" simply discards any change you made.

To remove comments from the archive, simply delete the existing comment and press "Save".

Please note that zip file comments are supported only if the zipinfo program has been installed. If its not installed you will not be able to work with zipfile comments. By default, BeOS R5 comes with zipinfo and hence you don't have to bother if you are using the BeOS R5.

By default, if an archive with comments are opened they are immediately shown in the Comments window. You can turn off this behaviour of displaying comments from the Preferences: Miscellaneous.
