Make Archive Of Selected Not Available

I am running PageFour v1.70 with two notebooks consisting of twelve folders each. From the Tools menu I am able to select Make Full Archive and archive successfully but Make Archive Of Selected remains grayed out. Selecting a single notebook, folder or folders, page or pages doesn't change the option's availability.

In the case of archiving and exporting, the selection works slightly differently to a normal file selection. Rather than simply selecting a folder or folders with the mouse, you need to mark them as selected by using the Copy functions (Ctrl+C).

This allows greater control over a multi-select of many folders and pages, as the current selection is not lost when you move the mouse elsewhere or select somsthing else.

Thank you, Darren. Since everything else with archiving and snapshots worked, I assumed there was something I wasn't doing right.

I'd like to thank you for your work on PageFour. I am a devoted user after months of testing Liquid Story Binder, Writer's Cafe and yWriter. The simplicity of the application and the coherent, cohesive and economical addition of features helps me concentrate on writing instead of focusing on the writing environment.
