ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Using Directory Manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Traversing the file system. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Directory Manager initializes by displaying files and sub-directories on either
the current drive and directory from which Directory Manager was started from
or a preselected default start-up drive and directory. The display is split
into:
o a main window, and
o a directory window with a drive menu, and
o 1 or more file window(s)
The current directory and file mask are displayed in the title bar of the file
window.
o Using the Mouse to Traverse the File System -
To display files/directories on another drive, click on DRIVE pull-down on
the directory window, a list of drives will be displayed. Once you find the
drive you wish to view, single click on that entry, the drive that was
selected will now be displayed. If you are using multiple-window support then
a new file window will be created and the directory window will now contain
the entries of the new drive.
To change to another directory, double-click on a directory entry in the
directory window on the left of the display. The '..' in the directory window
indicates the parent directory, and may be doubled-clicked to move back to
the parent. Please note that if using HPFS, a '..' will appear even when you
are at the root directory. You may use the scroll bar to scroll thru the list
of directories or click on the directory window and type the first letter of
the directory name.
To change the mask of files displayed, select the VIEW pull-down from the
main window and select MASK. Enter the mask value that you wish to be
displayed. An example would be:
DINO.*
This would display all file(s) in the directory selected that have a file
name of DINO and all file extensions possible.
To open a file with the default WPS association, double-click on the file
name. To change the default association, please see the OS/2 online help.
At the bottom of the main window in the information status area will be the
current allocation status for the selected drive. This will include the
current drive letter, the label of the disk ( blank in none ), the total
number of bytes on the disk, number of bytes used and number of bytes free
used and free.
o Using the Keyboard to Traverse the File System -
To display files/directories on another drive; place the focus on the
directory window, this can be done by selecting the WINDOW pull-down from the
main window menu, then selecting the entry marked Directory Window. Once the
focus is on the directory window you can select a drive by pressing the ALT
key, this will place the focus on the DRIVE pull-down, then you can press
enter for a list of drives. Use the up/down-arrow key to place the focus on
drive you wish to view, then press the ENTER key.
In order to change to another directory, use use the up/down arrows key to
select the directory you wish to view, then press the ENTER key. The '..' in
the directory window indicates the parent directory, and may be selected to
move back to the parent. Please note - when using HPFS, a '..' will appear
even if you are at the root directory.
You may also use the directory fastpath to select another directory. To do
this place the focus on the directory window ( as described above ) and press
the SPACE BAR key this will display the directory fastpath. Once the dialog
is displayed type the name of the directory, you may also use a fully
qualified name, including drive and press enter.
To change the mask of files displayed, select the VIEW pull-down and select
MASK. The MASK dialog will be displayed, select the criteria you wish to
search for and press enter. For example:
DINO.*
This would display all files in the selected directory that have a file name
of DINO and all file extensions.
To execute a file ( open a file ), move the focus to the file window, then
use the up/down keyboard arrow keys to select the file to be executed and
press enter.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Multiple Window Support. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Directory Manager supports multiple file windows by default, every time a new
directory view is selected, a new file window is created. The new file window
is created over top of the current file window. To view the list of current
file windows, select the WINDOW pull-down and the list will appear, in last
opened order. All file windows may be CLOSED except the first one opened, to
CLOSE a file window, place the focus on that file window and press the F3 key.
You may also reuse the same file window every time a new directory view is
selected, to use this method, select the WINDOW pull-down and select REPLACE ON
OPEN. You may jump back and forth between multiple and single window support at
anytime.
The TAB key may also be used to cycle through all the open windows, each press
of the TAB key process the next open window.
The RING icon may also be used to cycle through all the open windows, each
click of the RING icon process the next open window.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. Directory Fastpath. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Directory Manager supports a directory fastpath, this will allow you to
directly type the name of the directory you wish to view. To use this option
select FASTPATH from the main menu or place the focus on the directory window
and press the SPACE BAR and a dialog will appear. Type the name of the
directory in the space provided ( the name can either be a sub-directory of the
current directory or a fully qualified directory name ) or double-click on a
saved entry. This allows you to avoid the sometimes detailed directory
traversal.
The current directory path is displayed as a default selection, if any key is
pressed the field is erased, except for the END key as this keeps the field and
allows you to append to the field.
Most frequently used directory path names can be saved, avoiding having to
traverse the file system looking for them.
Directory entries may also be saved for future reference, and deleted if no
longer needed.
Entries are placed in alphabetical order only.
o To ADD a directory, enter the directory path in the directory entry field and
select the ADD button at the bottom of the dialog. There is a limit of 10
directory path names that can be saved when the limit is reached the ADD
button can not be selected.
o To DELETE a directory entry select the entry you wish to delete. The DELETE
button at the bottom of the dialog will now be enabled, select the button and
the entry will be deleted.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4. Selecting previous directories. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Directory Manager saves a list of open directories when using the
multiple-window facility of Directory Manager. To view the open windows select
the WINDOW pull-down and at the bottom is a list of open windows. Select the
window you wish to view.
The TAB key may also be used to cycle through all the open windows, each press
of the TAB key process the next open window.
The RING icon may also be used to cycle through all the open windows, each
click of the RING icon process the next open window.
When a window is closed the the entry is removed from the WINDOWS pull-down.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5. Selecting Files. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
One or more files may be selected (marked) so that operations may be performed
upon them (e.g. copy, delete, move ... ), MACRO operations may also be
performed. A single directory may also be selected to perform operations
against.
o Using the Mouse to Select files/directories
To select a file with the mouse, click on the file name within the current or
desired file window. If you wish to select more than 1 file in a row just
hold down the left mouse button while dragging over the files you wish to
select. If you want to select more than 1 file and these files are right
below one another as the above method describes, then hold down the Ctrl key
when selecting more than 1 file.
To de-select a hold down the Ctrl key while clicking on the already selected
file entry.
To select a directory with the mouse, click on the directory name within the
directory window, only one directory may be selected at a time.
To de-select a directory click on the already selected directory entry.
To select a group or all files see Selecting entries via the MARK function.
For information on how to DRAG the selected files see Dragging and Dropping
Selected Files
o Using the Keyboard to select files/directories
To select a file/directory, use the TAB key to move the focus to either a
directory or file window via one of the methods described in Traversing the
file system Then use the up/down arrows on the keyboard to scroll thru the
list. To select a entry, press enter and to de-select and press enter on an
already selected entry while holding down the Shift key.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.6. Selecting files via the MARK function ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
All entries can be selected via the Mark ALL Entries selection under the
OPTIONS pull-down.
Selective entries can be selected via the Mark Entries selection under the
OPTIONS pull-down. When selected a dialog will be presented that will allow the
specification of a mask, if entries match the specified mask they will be
included in the selection.
If the mask starts with a ! all matching entries will be excluded and all files
that do not match will be selected.
If you are using the HPFS then use the CASE SENSITIVE button to process your
request, as the default is to compare using upper case only.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.7. Dragging and Dropping Selected Directory or File(s) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The above method may also be used to drag a directory or file(s) to selective
icons on the Toolbar
If using the multiple-window facility, files can be dragged from one file
window to the other. Directories may be dragged to a file window but nothing
can be dropped on a directory window. The entries being dragged can either have
an operation of COPY or MOVE the default is to MOVE.To perform a COPY operation
hold don the CTRL key while dragging, the pointer will have a shadow type
effect when a COPY operation is in effect. When dragging to a Printer object
the operation is always a COPY operation and when dragging to a Shredder object

the destination entry field instead of selecting the drives and directories.
The destination entry field may also be used by typing a fully qualified
