Archive Editor
The archive editor works with X-Ray .db archive projects. It can open an archive set, show project metadata, read
individual files as text, and unpack archives to a destination folder.
Screens
| Screen | Route | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Navigator | /archives_editor | Choose between opening an archive project and unpacking archives. |
| Open/editor | /archives_editor/editor | Open an archive project and browse loaded archive data. |
| Unpacker | /archives_editor/unpacker | Select a packed archive folder and an output folder, then unpack. |
Backend commands
The Tauri archives-editor plugin exposes:
open_archives_project;close_archives_project;has_archives_project;get_archives_project;read_archive_file;unpack_archives_path.
unpack_archives_path opens the selected archive path as an ArchiveProject and unpacks it in parallel with 32
workers.
Workflow
- Use Open to inspect archives without extracting everything.
- Use file reading from the editor view when you need to inspect a text file inside the archive.
- Use Unpack when you need the archive contents on disk.
Default project-aware paths point the unpacker at target/game_link for source archives and target/unpacked_archives
for output when an XRF project path is configured.
CLI equivalent
Use xrf-cli unpack-archive for repeatable unpacking from scripts.
