You can open in <oXygen/> and edit files directly from an archive.
When saving the archive file you will be prompted with some backup operations which can be performed to ensure that your archive data will not be corrupted.
You have the following backup before save options :
- No backup
Perform no backup of the archive before save. This means that the file will be saved directly in the archive without any additional precautions.
- Single file backup
Before any operation which modifies the archive is performed, the archive contents will be duplicated. The duplicate file name will be
originalArchiveFileName.bakand will be saved in the same directory.- Incremental backup
Before each operation which modifies the archive is performed, the archive contents will be duplicated. The duplicate file names will be
originalArchiveFileName.bak#dupNoand the files will be saved in the same directory.- Never ask me again
Check this if you do not want to be notified again to backup. The last backup option you chose will always be used as the default one.
You can re-enable the dialog pop-up from the Archive preferences page.
