═══ 1. Introduction to Directory Manager ═══ Directory Manager is a simple OS/2 directory and file manager that provides the following features: 1. Traversal of either the OS/2 HPFS or FAT file systems that include: o file sorting o file/directory copy, move, delete, and rename operations o mask specification to view matching files o display of disk space, directory space, and marked file size information o marking and un-marking of files for further processing o view of text files o label file system disk and diskettes o create directory(s) o multiple window support 2. OS/2 command entry o including the ability to execute commands using marked files from the file display. 3. Custom macro execution against marked files o Customize the FILE pull-down to automate selected macro command execution along with accelerator key support. 4. File search capability 5. Support for the Drag-Drop protocol for marked files o drag and drop to the Workplace Shell ( and WPS objects ) o drag and drop between windows For more information about Directory Manager's various functions select one of the following: o Traversing the file system o Selecting previous directories o Directory fastpath o Selecting Files o Selecting Files via the MARK function o Dragging and Dropping Selected Files o Searching for Files o Using Quick View o Operations on Files/Directories o Using the ICONS or TOOLBAR o Using the POPUP Menu o Destination Dialog for Copy/Move o Executing Commands and Macros o Command Substitution Format o Variable Substitution o Changing the File Mask o Cancelling a Request o MACRO Creation o Changing the Startup Directory o Changing the Font o Changing Colors o Changing the File View o Changing File Details View o Creating a new directory o Changing the label of a drive o Changing attributes of a file o Creating a Clone o Printing Contents of a Window o Saving Setup Options o Key Assignments o Release Information o Error Messages ═══ 2. Traversing the file system. ═══ 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 execute a file(s) ( open a file ) double-click on the file name. Only executable files will be processed. 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. ═══ 3. Multiple Window Support. ═══ 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 REUSE 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. ═══ 4. Directory Fastpath. ═══ 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. ═══ 5. Selecting previous directories. ═══ 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. ═══ 6. Selecting Files. ═══ 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. ═══ 7. Selecting files via the MARK function ═══ 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. ═══ 8. Dragging and Dropping Selected Directory or File(s) ═══ Directory Manager supports supports the drag'n drop protocols implemented the Workplace Shell. In order to use the drag'n drop protocol, follow the instructions below: 1. Select the entry(s) to be transferred to a target application. 2. Press and hold the secondary mouse button. 3. Move the mouse pointer, noting that the pointer image changes as it passes over windows or icons that may or may not support the drag'n drop protocol. 4. While over an application that does support drop ( the pointer changes to a file or folder image ), release the mouse button to transfer the files to that application. The above method can be used to drag a directory or file(s) to the Workplace Shell or Workplace Shell objects, including: 1. Desktop, 2. Shredder and, 3. Printer 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 operation is always MOVE. When dragging to or from a diskette drive the operation will always be COPY. ═══ 9. Operations on Files/Directories ═══ o File(s) or Directory(s) can be copied to another drive or directory by first selecting the file(s) or directory from which to copy. A copy can be performed by: 1. Selecting the COPY icon on the toolbar or, 2. pressing the F8 keys or, 3. Drag'n Drop method to a WPS object or Toolbar copy icon.

Cancelling a Active Request ═══ You may cancel a ACTIVE request ( MOVE, COPY, REANME, DELETE, and SEARCH ) by using the ESC key at any time in the process while the window has the focus. Note: The actions taken prior to the cancel are not un-done. ═══ 11. Destination Dialog for Copy/Move ═══ The destination dialog helps you choose a destination for a move or copy operation on selected files or directory. To choose a destination for the operation, select disk drive letter from the drive window for the drive you wish to use as the target and then select the directory you desire on the drive. This can be done by double-clicking on the directory name. The directories are displayed one-level at a time. You may traverse the directory tree by using the same method outlined in Traversing the file system As drives/directories are selected, the destination will be displayed in the destination entry box at the bottom of the dialog box, along with the amount of free space left on the target drive. Optionally, you may type the path name in the destination entry field instead of selecting the drives and directories. The destination entry field may also be used by typing a fully qualified directory name, then pressing the ENTER key. The default is to show the current directory as the target, this may be changed via one of the above methods. Choosing OK will allow the process to continue, choosing CANCEL will cancel the current process. ═══ 12. MACRO Creation ═══ Macros are commands that follow the rules outlined in the Command Substitution Format section. To create a macro select the SETUP pull-down and then select MACROS.

Any OS/2 command or program name can be specified for execution. Optionally, the command you specify can use the selected files in the command line. For more information on the format of the command substitutions see Command Substitution Format o Macros Macros may also be selected for execution, optionally, the command you specify can use the selected files in the command line. For more information on the format of the command substitutions see Command Substitution Format and also see MACRO Creation for more information on creating macros. ═══ 15. Command Substitution Format ═══ The following diagram illustrates the format for a command you enter: ───────command─────────────────┤ │ parms │ │ / │ └───────┘ │ // │ │ /n │ │ /e │ │ /d │ │ /p │ └────┘ The symbol represents the name of the command you specify. command can only be a OS/2 command or program. The following list describes the other command parameters. parms Any needed command parameters. / Substitutes the fully-qualified name for selected file(s). The specified command will be repeated for each file that is selected on the file listbox. // Substitutes the '/' character in the command line. /n Substitutes the file name for each selected file. The specified command will be repeated for each file that is selected on the file window. /e Substitutes the file extension (without the preceding '.') for each selected file. The specified command will be repeated for each file that is selected on the file window. /d Substitutes the drive letter (with the trailing ':') for for each selected file. The specified command will be repeated for each file that is selected on the file window. /p Substitutes the fully-qualified path name (without the trailing '\') of the current directory in the command line. The specified command will be repeated for each file that is selected on the file window. Also see Variable Substitution ═══ 16. Variable Substitution ═══ Within a macro or command you may use a '&' followed by a name (i.e.'&ProgName') to indicate that you wish to be prompted for a variable substitution when the command or macro is selected. The substitution will occur only once, that is if multiple files were selected the substitution will apply to all files selected. ═══ 17.
