File Chopper
[edit]I was hoping this article would help me pick an application to help me chop a file. IE break it into pieces small enough I could email them. Mathiastck 18:08, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
This article presumes that a file is a computer file and that an archive is something that exists only in a computer. Files and archives pre-existed computers. The title and content of the article might recognize this.
Please help discuss that on its AfD page. --AVRS 16:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Usefulness of a Wikipedia article, even if it's a Stub.
[edit]Hello, I was "distressed" to find a Spell Check program (abiword for Linux) that sited archiver as an invalid word. Note that the editor of this talk page also flagged this word. So, even if this is a Stub article, with at least two "problems" that could get it deleted, I wanted you people to know that, at least one person benefited from the fact that this is a word that belongs in Spell Checker programs. Thank you! Kenneth Parker, Seattle, WA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sea7kenp (talk • contribs) 07:03, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
- Hello, Ken. You needn't type your whole name. Just insert ~~~~ where you signature should appear and the software will take care of the rest.
- Now, as for the spelling problem, Wikipedia has a deletion policy in which a bug in the spell checker of some piece of software is not a valid criteria for deletion. I suggest you report the mistake to Abiword team. "File archiver" is not a spelling error. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 06:40, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
I do not it is a good idea to merge
[edit]a file archiver is a tool for archiving, and an archive file is a file that is archived. so I don't think it is a good idea to merge. FockeWulf FW 190 (talk)FockeWulf FW 190FockeWulf FW 190 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:58, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- Disagree. I replied with more detail to same comment in the [Archive_file talk]. Stevebroshar (talk) 17:02, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- The comment was from 2013 from a user that has not edited since 2019. No merge is being suggested — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 17:29, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- That that comment is from 2013 and that that user has not edited since 2019 has no relevance, IMO. That they should be merged is suggested ... by me! Stevebroshar (talk) 17:53, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
