      Tip: The archive icon color provides key information about the archive.
      A red icon indicates a corrupted archive.
      An orange icon indicates that the archive is Read only on the Windows file system.
      (A lock overlay icon images/download/attachments/57236568/image2018-2-21_8-31-38.png indicates that the archive is Password protected).
