3.1 Where is the DarGUI configuration file?

• DarGUI stores user data in a file named darguirc.
  On Linux-based systems, if the folder .config already exists in your HOME directory when DarGUI is first run then you will find darguirc in .config/dargui in your home directory, otherwise it will be in a folder named .dargui in your home directory.
  On Windows systems the file is stored in a subdirectory named DarGUI in the Local Application Data directory. The location of this varies but can usually be found by opening Command Prompt and entering 'echo %LOCALAPPDATA%'. A typical path in Windows XP is 'C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data'. A typical path in Windows Vista or Windows 7 is 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local'.

3.2 This doesn't work! Why not?

• If you find a bug please don't give up without letting us know about it, either by using the sourceforge bug-tracker or by emailing the author, Malcolm Poole, at mgpoole@users.sourceforge.net. Do try to give us as much information about how the problem happened and what you were doing before it occurred.

3.3 How can I extract a file from the archive if there is an apostrophe in its name?

• If you do the restore using "Restore all" the file will be extracted with the rest of the archive. If you do not want to restore all the files in the archive, then filenames containing apostrophes must be restored using the command line:
  dar -x "/path/to/archive/archivename" -R "/directory/to/restore/files/" -g "filename-with-apostrophe" -O

3.4 I am using a version of Dar which is older than 2.4.0. How can I view the contents of an archive which is composed of multiple slices, each stored on a separate disk?

• The simplest way to do it is from the commandline: dar -l </path/to/archivebasename>, then change disks when indicated. DarGUI needs to be able to access both the first and last slice of a set to be able to read its contents, so the only way it is possible to view the contents of the archive using DarGUI is by copying the first and last slices to the same folder on a hard drive.
