ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Window overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
ΓûáThe first row of buttons shows your currently connected disks to your system.
Pressing one of them starts the cataloging procedure for that drive. At the
right side of the window you see a smaller one which holds the number of disks
you cataloged.
ΓûáThe second row of buttons have several funtions which are also described in
the menu options section of this document. If you move the mouse arrow over
them there is also a short description in the title bar of the program. At the
right side of this row you see a smaller window which displays the number of
files contained in the currently selected volume.
ΓûáThe first listbox in the main window holds all cataloged volumes sorted by
the volume name. The type column identifies the volume like follows:
FD - floppy disk
CD - compact disk or cdrom
HD - hard disk
MO - optical disk
The disk column holds the volume names and if it is an audio cd the
interpreter and cdrom title. The free KB column shows how much kilobytes are
available on the volume and the used KB column shows the kilobytes that are in
use by all files. The last column total KB/time lists the total amount of time
an audio cd has recorded on it or the total capacity in kilobytes of that
volume.
ΓûáThe second listbox in the main window identifies the filename and the path
where it is located. The size, date and time are the appropriate attributes of
the file.
ΓûáIn the last field at the bottom of the main window you can type any comment
for the currently selected disk. It will be saved automatically when another
volume is selected.
