Drag files into
existing archives
The
simplest way to add new files and
folders to already
existing archives
is to open the archive in PeaZip file manager and drag and drop the new
content into it:
the application will show archive update interface and the operation
can be confirmed pressing "OK" button.
On confirmation, the input items will be added to
the archive and moved to the archive subfolder that is currently being
browsed in PeaZip file manager.
If items with same name are detected inside the current archive the
application will
prompt a warning to confirm overwriting pre-existing data.
Add or update
files in archive with PeaZip
As
alternative,
click Add button to go to archiving
interface - as for creating a new archive - but rather than default
operation "New archive" select one of the available archive update
options (Add, Update, Update only files already in archive,
Synchronize with disk) which provides finer control in case input
content is already featured inside the archive, and select an existing
archive as output destination.
Adding data
that is already inside a folder, or in a nested subfolder, the
folder nesting structure will be replicated in the archive.
When it is not possible
to add files to existing archives
Please
note some archives
cannot be modified from PeaZip (adding, removing or updating existing
files) for various possible reasons:
- the archive file is read only for current user - in
this case no
application will be able to modify it until the file properties are set
to writeable
- the archive type is not supported for writing from
PeaZip either
for technical limitations or for licensing reasons
- PeaZip can add files to RAR archives only if WinRar
is installed in the system, as rar licensing prohibits third parts
applications to implement rar compression functions
- the archive is encrypted, and cannot / should not be
modified until the correct password is provided
