ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Using Directory Manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Traversing the file system. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Directory Manager window is is split into:

o a main window,
o a directory window with a drive window,
o 1 or more file window(s)

To display the contents of a drive, double-click on a drive icon located in the
directory window. A directory tree will be created and displayed in the lower
portion of the directory window. The titlebar for the directory window will be
updated to indicate the drive that was selected.

Only the contents of one drive may be displayed at one time. To display another
drive repeat the above steps. The first time the directory tree is built there
will be a delay as the tree is being constructed. Subsequent access will reuse
the already constructed tree.

The scroll bars on the right of the directory window can be used to scroll up
and down the directory tree. The directory tree may also contain a "+" next to
the entry, indicating that the directory has sub-directories. Click on the "+"
and the tree will expand to show the sub-directories. The "+" will change to a
"-" when all sub-directories are shown for that level. There may be more than 1
level so one may have to repeat this process if you wish to travel all the way
down the tree. The process can be reversed to collapse the levels, this is done
by clicking on the "-", when collapsed the directory tree will show a "+"
again.

The view of the directory tree can be sorted, and one can elect to either
display the icon within the tree or have plain text. Please see Using CONTEXT
Menu or Changing the Default SETTINGS for details on how to change the above.

To display the contents of a directory, double click on a entry in the
directory tree. A file window will be created and files in the selected
directory will be displayed. Directory Manager/2 support up to 20 concurrent
file windows open at one time. This value can be lowered. The file window can
be closed by double-clicking on the small icon in the left upper corner of the
file window.

The working model version has a limit of 2 concurrent file windows open at one
time.

The view of the file window can be changed in many ways. See using CONTEXT Menu
or Changing the Default SETTINGS for details on how to customize the view to
meet your custom needs.

Once the maximum number of file windows are open, the current file window (the
one that has the focus) will be re-used; that is to sat that current contents
will be replaced by the contents of the newly selected directory. To change the
value for maximum number of open windows see Changing the Default SETTINGS

At the bottom of the main window is the information status area, this area will
contain 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.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Directory Fastpath. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Directory Manager/2 supports a directory fastpath, allowing one to directly
type the name of the directory you wish to view or to store the directory name
for repeated use. To use this option select FASTPATH from the main menu-bar or
place the focus on the directory window and press the SPACE BAR and a dialog
will appear. An entry field is provided, one may only enter a fully qualified
directory name. 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.

  The working model version has a limit of 2 directory path names.

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 2.3. Selecting currently open directories. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Directory Manager/2 saves a list of open windows when using more than one file
window (maximum number of open windows must be greater than 1). To view the
list of open windows select the WINDOW pull-down and at the bottom of the menu
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 will display the next open window.

The RING icon may also be used to cycle through all the open windows. Each
click of the RING icon will display the next open window.

When a file window is closed the the entry is removed from the WINDOWS
pull-down.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4. Selecting Files. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

One or more files may be selected (marked) so that operations may be performed
upon them (i.e. copy, delete, move, rename and macros) A single directory may
also be selected to perform operations against.

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 NOT 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.

A directory cannot be de-selected, selection just passes from one directory
enter to another.

To select ALL files see MARK FILE(S) and UNMARK FILE(S) For information on how
to DRAG the selected files see  Dragging and Dropping Selected Files


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5. Mark File(s) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

All FILE entries can be selected via the Ctrl+/ key combination or via the MARK
ALL entry on the file record CONTEXT MENU


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.6. Unmark File(s) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

All entries can be de-selected via the Ctrl+\ key combination or via the UNMARK
ALL entry on the file record CONTEXT MENU


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.7. Context Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Directory Manager/2 supports context menus for each of the following objects:

o Drive
o Drive Window
o Directory
o Directory Window
o File
o File Window
The context menu will display all the actions that can be performed against the
object, the action will differ from object to object. When the context menu for
one of the above objects is displayed the defaults for all actions (options
that have defaults) will be set from the SETTINGS dialog. To select the DEFAULT
action for a option, simply select the option. If an action other than the
default is requested select the RIGHT ARROW to the right of the option, all
available actions will be displayed with a CHECK next to the DEFAULT The
default action may be changed by the SETTINGS dialog.

There are 2 types of CONTEXT MENUS

 1. RECORD
 2. WINDOW

The record context menu will display actions that can be performed on the
selected items in the window, whereas the window context menu will display the
action that can be performed on the window.

To select the record context menu for the object(s) in the

 1. Drive
 2. Directory
 3. File or,
 4. Search
windows, select either the object(s) then press the right mouse button, and the
context menu will be displayed where the mouse pointer is. To display the
context menu for a single object, place the mouse pointer over the object and
press the right mouse button. Remember that this only selects the object that
mouse pointer is currently over.

To select the window context menu for the

 1. Drive
 2. Directory
 3. File or,
 4. Search
windows, either select the any white space within the window and press the
right mouse button, and the context menu will be displayed where the mouse
pointer is. If no white space can be found then place the cursor over the
selected window and press the SHIFT+F10 key.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.8. Dragging and Dropping Selected Directory or File(s) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Directory Manager/2 supports the drag'n drop protocol implemented in 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

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.

File(s) can also be dragged from one file window to the other. File(s) may also
be dragged within the same file window. A drag with a COPY operation will
result in a file CLONE, and a MOVE operation will result in a RENAME.

File(s) may also be dragged to a specific directory within the directory
window, or to a specific drive within the drive window.

A directory may also be dragged to a another directory entry or to a specific
drive with in the drive window.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.9. Operations on Files/Directories ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The <command> symbol represents the name of the command you specify. Commands
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 window.

//        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
