The first menu is the Project menu, this is the main menu.

See some general information on Voodoo-X itself.

This gives you some information on the currently installed version of MUI.

Use this menu item to gain access to the version information of the currently loaded external systems.

Open the settings window.

XAD is the system used by Voodoo-X to decompress archives. Since XAD is modular you may need to view information on each of the currently installed XAD client modules. Each of these clients handles a particular file format (like LHA, LZX, DMS, ADF, etc.).

This menu item allows you to view information on each client.

The second menu is the Archive menu, this menu allows you to manipulate the currently loaded archive(s).

Selecting this menu item allows you to open one or more archives for browsing. A multiselect file requester will be opened, after you have selected the archives you want to load, a progress window will be displayed and each archive will be added to the history list.

To browse the archives you've just loaded, press the history list popup button in the main window.

Selecting this will close the currently loaded archive, freeing some memory resources and unlocking it. if you have more than one archive loaded, then the contents of the next archive will be displayed.

Sometimes it can be handy to make a copy of an archive. When triggered, this menu item will open a destination file requester. From here you can select a desination file, Voodoo-X will then copy the currently selected archive to this new destination.

This is similar to the Copy to... menuitem, but the original archive is deleted after copying. Voodoo-X needs to rescan the archive after it has been moved to it's new location.

Extracted all of the file you need out of the archive and don't need it anymore? If this is the case, then you can delete the unneeded archive using this menu item.

This feature is especially useful for "download" directories, because you can quickly get rid of an archive after you've obtained it's contents.

Select all of the entries in the currently loaded archive.

Clear all of the selected entries in the currently loaded archive.

This opens up a small window which gives you more control over file selection, using AmigaDOS wildcards. The window looks like this:

The Select Pattern button will tell Voodoo-X to select each entry, depending on the contents of the Pattern string gadget.

Clear all is provided for convenience. Pressing it will clear all of the currently selected entries.

Selecting this will extract all of the selected entries to the destination drawer.

This is the same as Extract selected..., but instead allows you to quickly extract all entries to the selected destination drawer.

If you're getting a bit low on memory you can call this. It will clear the archive history list. It will also unlock all of the loaded archives, allowing you to delete them with another external tool, like a file manager.

The currently loaded archive will remain loaded.

When activated, this handy feature will check every file in the archive for viruses. It will throw up a warning requester if it finds any.

For this feature to work, you need xvs.library installed. See the Requirements section for more information.
