Manual Compression and Decompression

Under the Manual menu of the main Almond Doubler GUI window, users may choose to manually compress or expand directories or files on the system, regardless of how the automatic compression parameters are defined.

Compress. . .

When selected, the Compression window allows you to choose to compress a specified directory or file. Selecting the check box means that all sub-directories under that directory are also included in the compression.

When the directory or file list is configured as desired, press the OK button to have your choices take effect.

Choosing Cancel will ignore any changes made and close the Compression window.
