<p>Expander is a small tool to quickly unpack the most common archives, among them zip, gzip, bzip2, rar and tar.gz.<br />
Just double-click an archive to see this simple interface:</p>
<p><img id="expander" src="../../images/apps-images/expander.png" alt="expander.png" width="480" height="257" /></p>
<table summary="layout" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr><td style="width:80px;"><span class="button">Source</span></td><td style="width:70px;"><span class="key">ALT</span>&#160;<span class="key">S</span></td><td>will open a file dialog to find an archive to unpack.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="button">Destination</span></td><td><span class="key">ALT</span>&#160;<span class="key">D</span></td><td>will open a file dialog to set the destination.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="button">Expand</span></td><td><span class="key">ALT</span>&#160;<span class="key">E</span></td><td>will start the unpacking. It can be aborted with <span class="key">ALT</span>&#160;<span class="key">K</span>.</td></tr>
</table>
<p>You can toggle the display of the file listing by un/checking <i>Show Contents</i> or pressing <span class="key">ALT</span>&#160;<span class="key">L</span>.</p>
<div class="box-info">Expander can only unpack whole archives.<br />
You can't select individual files to expand or add/remove files from the archive.</div>
<p><span class="menu">Edit | Preferences...</span> or <span class="key">ALT</span>&#160;<span class="key">P</span> opens a preference panel that offers some useful settings to adjust Expander's behavior.<br />
The options are all self-explanatory:
