When adding files using the Action/Add menu selection, the following dialog box is displayed:

add  

You can select the files you want to add in several ways:

·Click on the desired files in the list near the top of the Add dialog box. You can select multiple files using normal Windows file selection conventions (for example, hold down the Shift key while clicking to select multiple files). Then press the Add button.  

·Type the name(s) of the files you want to add. If you specify multiple filenames, each filename must be enclosed in double quotes. Then press the Add button.  

·To add files with wildcards (for example, "*.doc" to add all files with an extension of .doc), type the filename with wildcards in the File name edit field, then press the Add with wildcards button. Standard wildcards are accepted.  

Options

Action  
 
The Action drop down list provides four choices: Add, Freshen, Move, and Update.  
 
The Add option causes SPac to add all specified files to the package.  
The Freshen option causes SPac to update files already in the package that match the specified files.  
The Update option is the same as Freshen, but adds any specified files that are not already in the archive.  
The Move option works the same as Add, except that once the specified files have been added to the archive they are wiped from disk.  
 
Include subfolders  
 
The Include subfolders check box determines whether SPac traverses all folders underneath the specified folder when looking for files to add. This provides an easy way to backup all files underneath the folder containing the specified file.  
 
Save extra folder info  
 
The Save extra folder info causes SPac to store any folder path information specified in the Add files edit field.  
 
Password  
 
The Password button allows you to change the password used to encrypt the package. Please be sure to read the information in the section titled Choosing a Password before using passwords. If you specify a new password for the package the entire package, including the files being added, will be encrypted with the new password.  
 
Add with wildcards  
 
The Add with wildcards button adds the files specified in the File name field. (In Windows "wildcards" are the asterisk and question mark characters. These let you specify multiple files at once, for example, "*.Txt" refers to all files with a file type of "Txt".)  
 
When you press the Add, or Add with wildcards, button the specified files will be added to the package based on your settings for the above fields.
