SFX options: General
This dialog is a part of the "Advanced SFX options" dialog and includes the following settings:
Path to extract
Set the default destination path for unpacked files. You may choose to create it in the user's "Program Files" folder, in the current folder or specify an absolute path here. In first two cases an entered path must not include the disk letter or leading backslash, in the third it must have one of them.
Corresponding SFX script command - Path
Path to extract/Save and restore paths
This option allows SFX to store the destination path entered by user to Registry and then restore it when SFX archive with the same Path to extract contents executed the next time. The original path value is placed to the list associated with the destination path input field, so a user may choose between previously entered and original paths.
This feature may be convenient when installing new versions or upgrades of some software in the same folder. It allows to change the proposed path to desired only once instead of retyping it every time.
It may be used only in combination with non-empty Path to extract field.
Corresponding SFX script command - SavePath
Save current settings as default
This button is displayed only if "Advanced SFX options" dialog is invoked from Convert archive to SFX command. It saves settings entered in all dialog sections. These saved settings are used only when converting an archive to SFX. Use the default compression profile for other archive modification commands.
