Viewing a file

To view a file contained in the archive, just double click on its name, or select it and then press View. The program will try to recognize the file type, and if it is another archive (i.e. if it matches one filters defined in archive types), will spawn a new copy of X-Arc with this file loaded in it. Otherwise the program will open the file using the viewer associated to the right file type.

If you have installer support switched on (check preferences/installer), files recognised as installer scripts will be marked with an icon. By double clicking on these files, they'll be run as installer scripts. By pressing the button View, they'll be showed using filetypes, as normal files.
