Basics
Disk Librarian Basics

Library Window

Disk Librarian employs the Windows Multiple Document Interface.  What this means simply is that you can have more that one Disk Library open at one time.  The exact number of windows that can be open at one time is dependent on your system's  memory.  Each Library window is divided into three main areas.

Search/Zipfile View Window

This window is opened in response to a Search or View Zipfile command.

Most menu commands are available in this window, and the most common commands are provided in buttons along the bottom of the window for convenience.  The "Done" command closes the window (surprise, surprise)


Located along the top of the window area is the Library bar.   When this area is selected, the name of the Library will be highlighted and certain operations (File copies, Directory copies, etc.) will be carried out on the Library automatically, instead of requiring designation of a particular target disk/directory.

To select the Library Bar, press <TAB> until the name is highlighted, or click once with the left mouse button.

To show information about the Library, click this area once with the right mouse button.


Located below the Library bar and to the left is the  Volume/Directory window.  This   window shows a graphic representation of the Volumes and their associated directory structures.

To display information about items in this window, click once with the right mouse button.


Located below the Library and to the right is the File Window.  This window shows the   files of the selected Volume or Directory.

The display can be changed to show File Info,  Keywords or Comments.

Duplicate Volume Add Message
Duplicate Volume Add Error Message

This error message is displayed during a "Library, Add Volume" operation when the disk in a floppy drive has the same Volume ID as a disk that is already in the Library.

Disk Librarian gives you an option to continue the operation.  If you continue, a new Volume ID is written to the disk so there will be no conflict with the first disk's ID.

If the disk REALLY IS a duplicate and you mistakenly continue, merely delete the first copy (since the disk now has a new ID).

Example:  You are recycling 10 distribution disks from SuperDataWhacker, Version 357.797.  All disks are labeled "SDW357.797".  If you delete the files, but don't change the Volume ID, you will see this message when you add these disks to the same Library.


Duplicate Volume Add Message
Duplicate Volume Add Error Message

This error message is displayed during a "Library, Add Volume" operation when the disk in question is resident in a non-writable device.  Put simply, it is either a CD-ROM or a protected remote drive on a network.

When this error occurs, there is no option to continue.
