ALZip Bird Folder Names

ALZip's default options add a Windows Explorer File menu and a context menu item that let you create folders faster and easier than the Windows Explorer defaults. These new folders have bird names like sparrow, eagle, crow, etc. See Create New Folder for a screen shot.

Windows Explorer Defaults

There are 2 places where you can create a new folder in Windows Explorer:

1.	Click File > New > Folder

2.	Right-click in the file pane and choose New > Folder

The defaults take 3 user actions: 1) click, 2) hover (for the "New" flyout menu), and 3) another click.

Using the ALZip "New Folder"

The additional ALZip "New Folder" item lets you create folders faster. It occurs in 2 places:

1.	Click File > New Folder

2.	Right-click in the file pane and choose New Folder

This eliminates the time consuming hover action and makes new folder creation faster with 2 user actions: 1) click, 2) click.

Enabling/Disabling the ALZip New Folder

To enable or disable the ALZip New Folder functionality:

1.	Press F4 to display the preferences

2.	Click the Context Menu tab

3.	Check or uncheck the "Create New Folder" option under "Power Extras"

Changing Bird Names

If you would rather have a custom set of folder names, you can customize these yourself. For more information on how to change the text, please see the translation section at the ALTools web site. Also, please note that customized language files do not survive upgrades, so you must manually back them up yourself before upgrading to a new version of ALZip.
