Extracting from Archives


To extract files or folders from DigiSecret archives, double-click on one or click on the Open toolbar button and select the archive. You will then be prompted for the passphrase and if you enter it correctly, you will see the contents of the archive in the program main window. If you would like to enter your passphrase without using the keyboard, click on the Virtual Keyboard button. Click on the Extract toolbar button or Actions => Extract Files ... menu. A dialog window will appear. The Output File field shows the folder to which the files will be extracted. Click the Browse button to change the destination folder. Check the Reconstruct folder structure checkbox if your archive contains folders, and you want to have their structure reconstructed; otherwise, all files will be extracted to the same folder. If you would like to extract only the files that you selected before clicking on the Extract toolbar button or Actions => Extract Files menu, check the Extract selected files only checkbox. Click Decrypt & Extract and the contents of the archive will be extracted into the selected folder. You can also drag files from an open archive to extract them.

If you view one or several files from an open DigiSecret archive with an associated application or default viewer, the program creates their temporary copies on the disk and will prompt you to have the files in the archive replaced by the newer versions if you modify these files. After that, the temporary copies will be shredded.

You can also extract DigiSecret archives by right-clicking on an archive in Windows Explorer and selecting
DigiSecret =>Extract to ... or by dragging the archive to the target location holding the right mouse button.
