Convert Old Format Archives

This dialog window appears when DigiSecret detects an old format archive that the user wishes to modify or convert to the new format. The contents of the archives in the old format can only be extracted; no alterations, such as adding to or deleting from those archives, can be performed. The major change in the new type of DigiSecret archive is the new compression algorithm that significantly increases the compression ratio and the data processing speed. This dialog window also includes an option to archive the files without compression, just encrypting them. This mode allows you to pack the data at the highest speed possible.

The conversion dialog window allows you to set the compression ratio for the new archive. The Fast (default) level approximately corresponds to the compression ratio of the old archives.
