WarpZip online help - Browser

When using WarpZip as a helper application for a browser the files downloaded from the internet may be going to a TEMP directory rather than your usual download directory. If you want to have WarpZip automatically move your files to the download(search) directory you'll need to let WarpZip know what directory to watch for. Enter the temporary directory name that your browser uses and click the "Move browser downloads" checkbox.

For example:

  • I prefer downloading to H:\tcpip\downloads and set it as my "Search" directory.
  • When using WarpZip as a helper app, Netscape downloads files to C:\TMP
  • I enter C:\TMP into the entry field and select the "Move browser downloads" checkbox.
  • When Netscape downloads the file, WarpZip knows it is from Netscape and moves it to my search directory "H:\tcpip\downloads" and then opens the archive.

To our surprise, Netscape did not use the SET TEMP or SET TMP environment variable (at least on this machine) so it becomes neccessary to have the directory entered manually.
