2.6 Installer

This sections allows to configure some options which affects X-Arc's behaviour. Available gadgets are:

• Installer support: you can turn installer support on or off. For instance if an archive is sent to X-Arc for de-archiving, and it has a installer script, X-Arc will automatically try to execute this script if installer support is enabled.

• Installer command: select the location of the installer command, needed to install archives. This is normally located in the 'c' drawer on your workbench partition. You can also use an intaller replacement, such as SavageInstaller.

• Create temporary directory in: allows you to select the location where you want temporary installer based files to be extracted. If you have a large archive, say 10MB, and you only have 12MB of RAM, using ram: (or similar) as the temporary installer dearchive location may be unsuitable.

• Install on open: will try to install an archive when it is opened. ie. open and locate an archive, load into X-Arc and, if there is an installer script present, X-Arc will try to install, if this open is ticked on. If you have ticked 'install on open' off, you will have to manually press the 'install' icon on the X-Arc icon bar in order to install the archive. The default is off.

• Delete temporary directory after installation: X-Arc creates a temporary drawer to locate the files it needs to extract, before it can install the archive. Tick this option to on if you want X-Arc to delete these temporary files, after installation. The default is on.
