AnyZip allows you to designate archive files on your computer as Favorites. This is useful if there are frequently used archive files which you would need to access quickly and without having to browse or search through the individual folders or directories, where they may be located.

When you have an archive file open you can designate is a Favorite by selecting File >> Favorite Archive >> Add Archive to Favorites. This option can also be accessed from the AnyZip Menu Bar. When the file is successfully added to the list of favorites the following information message is displayed on the screen:

Figure: Confirmation of addition to Favorites

In order to access other Favorites, please select the Modify Favorites option on both the Favorite Archives sub-menu and on the AnyZip Menu Bar. This displays the Favorite Archives window showing all the archive files, irrespective of type, that are designated as favorites.

Figure: Favorite Archives Window

You can double-click on one of the archives listed in this window to open it. The fields displayed in the main window are as follows:

Figure: Favorite Archives Attributes

Archive: This field displays the name of the archive file along with its extension.

Date: This field displays the date on which you last opened an archive that is listed here.

Path: This field displays the directory in which the archive is stored. This field is different from the Path that is displayed in the AnyZip main window for a file within an archive as it displays only the location of the archive and not the target directory in case the files within the archive are unzipped.

You can click on any of the column headers in the Favorite Archives window to sort the files displayed there. This function is similar to the sort option available in the AnyZip Main Window.

The other options available in this Window are:

Remove: Highlight any of the files from among those listed and click on this button to remove that file from the list of Favorite Archives. Select Yes in the resultant AnyZip Window to confirm your selection.
