Folder Browser

The Folder Browser is used to:

• Browse through all the folders on the system.
• Show the total disk space used by all files in a folder.
• Select a folder for scanning.
• Select a folder for viewing in the File Browser.
• Select a folder for use by the Mark Duplicate Files panel.
• Move or copy files and folders using drag and drop.

Scanning a folder

To scan a folder, select the folder name with the left mouse button. Unless the Auto-scan when folders selected option has been set, select the Scan Folder command.

When a folder is selected for scanning, itÆs name in the browser will be preceded by empty square brackets `[ ]`. Once it has been scanned, including all subfolders under it, the total amount of disk space used by all files under the folder will be shown in the square brackets.

If scanning for duplicates is also enabled, then any duplicate files found in the folders that are scanned will be shown in the Duplicates List Browser.

The currently selected folder is shown in the File Browser.

If the Auto-scan when folders selected option has been set, it is still possible to select a folder without scanning it by:

• Hold down the control key while selecting the folder, or
• Select the folder with the right mouse button (this will also bring up the context sensitive menu).

Right clicking on a folder brings up the folder context menu.

To expand a folder to show subfolders:

• Click on the + icon next to the folder name, or
• Double click on the folder name.

To contract a folder to hide its contents:

• Click on the - icon next to the folder name, or
• Double click on the folder name.
