Hey after right clicking on a folder and compressing it. I typed in the name which i wanted it to be called, then it's not in the same directary, does it change or whts going on? i want me files so i can store them in a save place (in my www root so i can download them on another computer)

What program are you using? I didn't have that option in emelfm. Maybe you can do a search on your new archive name.

elf-fm as root,

How do u Search for a file?

How would i .zip a file using the Termial

u should be able to pack something
right click on a folder -> Plugins -> Pack then change the extenison to .zip

This is very important for backing up very important data.

How do u Search for a file?

There are a number of tools at your disposal, but the easiest will probably be GTKFind. You should be able to find it in your menu under "find."

I don't know why you'd want to change the extension to zip since existing file associations in emelfm are very specific. The extensions available by default are tar.gz and tar.bz2 (iirc). You can zip files -- and that's added to the file associations -- by using the 7zip extension.

Renaming a tar.gz file with zip isn't going to work unless you set up a new file association that does what's already configured.

I require to change the extension to zip because i want to store them on my windows computer and need to be able to read them, using winrar. Hope this isn't a problem. Search feature? I'll have a luk for that

EDIT
tried gtkfind but it found nothing i kept getting random locations. and messages saying permission denided. i only want me compressed file, anyway i could type in where to place it when i give it a name? on creation?
