that you can quickly change the current drive with Alt-F1?
that you can check and administer the contents of Ace and Zip archives with the properties dialog?
that you can create self extracting archives in order to distribute your files to friends and co-workers who don't have WinAce on their computer?
that you can open the shell extension for each selected file with the menu item "context menu"?
that you can control WinAce from within the Windows Explorer or other programs that support the context menu?
that you can preview many different file types with the quickview option (Ctrl-Q) - even within an archive
that you can drag the quick view panel from the WinAce window to your desktop?
that you can put an security envelope around your archives to ensure that your data is not manipulated by other users or viruses (registered version only)?
that the option "solid archives" results in better compression rates if you're archiving many small files?
that you can create multivolume archives simply by selecting a disk drive as the target directory? WinAce automatically determines the available space on the media and prompts for a new disk when necessary.
that you can use wildcards (*.bmp;*.gif, etc.) for compressing files within the "Add" dialog?
that you can switch to to the parent directory by pressing "Ctrl+PgUp"? "Ctrl+Pos" takes you directly to the root directory.
that you can select more than one file type in the file selection (NumPad "+")? The wildcard-masks need to be separated by a semicolon, e.g. "*.gif;*.jpg;*.tif" would select all image files with the corresponding extension.
that the feature "X-Folder" (accessible via the menu "File", the "Extract" dialog or by pressing Ctrl-X) allows to extract multiple archives in one go, copying all contents to directories by the same name as the archive? For example, if you use X-Folder on the two archives "My Archive.ace" and "Setup.zip", WinAce would create two directories called "My Archive" and "Setup" and copy the contents of the archives to the matching directory.
that you can assign different icons to each of the supported archive types? Just go to the options (Alt-F9), select the "Archives" tab and assign the desired icon to the archive type.
