### X Northern Captain VFS

XNC Index: Overview Installation Panels Commands VFS_support Bookmark Extensions User Menu Hot Keys | X Northern Captain based on Virtual File System (VFS) conception. This means that you can easily manipulate files as on normal disk file system as inside archieves, and all actions needed for these manipulations are transparent to the user. VFS supports allow XNC entering into archieve (multiple entering into subarchieves [archieve inside archieve] also supported), take a list of contents and do other operations as with normal files (even execute from it). Of couse, not all operations supported inside archieves, but such usefull as copy, view, delete, execute can be activate by pressing hot keys or mouse. When You entering to archieve XNC find appropriate support for it then run archievator. So archievator must be installed before using support. After entering into arc list its contents appear on the panel, and panel header shows assigned support, name of archieve and relative path from the top of it. Currently XNC has following supports: Extensions given in brackets. TAR [.tar]- execute 'tar' and allow 'copy from/to (extract/add)', 'view', 'execute' and 'edit' operations. ZTAR [.tgz;.tar.gz;tar.Z;tar.z]- execute 'tar and gzip' and allow 'copy from', 'view' and 'execute' operations. ZIP [.zip] - execute 'zip and unzip' and allow 'copy from/to', 'delete', 'view', 'edit' and 'execute' operations. RPM [.rpm] - execute 'rpm' and allow 'copy from', 'view', 'edit' and 'execute' operations. RAR [.rar] - execute 'rar' and allow 'copy from/to', 'delete', 'view', 'edit' and 'execute' operations. UNARJ [.arj] - execute 'unarj' and allow only full extract ('copy from' with all selected files) command. LHA [.lzh] - execute 'lha' and allow 'copy from/to', 'delete', 'view', 'edit' and 'execute' operations. All supports compiling at XNC startup from '.xnc.afs' file. You can easily add your own support - just copy one of supports, rename it and edit command lines for new archievator.
