- 1.1 Directory Window│
- ────────────────────┘
- This area shows the directory structure of the current disk. The Root
- directory is at the top of the list, and all other directories are sorted
- alphabetically and displayed from the top of the window to the bottom.
- Main directories are on the left, with subdirectories indented to the right.
- A Branch is defined as any directory and all the subdirectories that are
- indented below it.
-
- When the highlight bar is located in the Directory Window this window is
- active, and ZTreeWin's Directory Commands are available. The highlight bar
- identifies the current directory. When you start ZTreeWin, the Directory
- Window is active and the highlight bar is at the disks ROOT directory. You
- can move the bar to any directory on the tree by using the cursor keys.
-
- If you move the highlight bar to the Small File Window (by pressing ENTER),
- a left-arrow symbol is shown in the Directory Window, marking the current
- directory.
-
- The Path Identification Line is above the Directory Window. It always shows
- the current disk and directory path being accessed by ZTreeWin.
-
- Normally, the Directory Window shows you the entire tree for the disk.
- However, ZTreeWin also gives you the ability to selectively read (log) and
- display portions of the disk. This helps to conserve memory and allows you
- to focus only on areas of the tree you are most interested in.
-
- Through the ZTreeWin configuration program you can configure ZTreeWin to
- log disks only to the first level of directories under the root. You can
- then use outlining commands to expand and collapse (log and release)
- branches on the tree. The following symbols to the left of the directory
- tree have special meaning:
-
- <space> Corresponding directory is fully logged, i.e. all its files and
- 1st level subdirectories are in memory and available for display.
- + Directory is not logged. It may or may not contain files and/or
- subdirectories. Use the '+' or '*' key to expand it.
- ∙ Directory is logged, but part of its branch may be hidden. This
- can happen if you have used the F5 and F6 keys.
- The following keys provide you tree outlining commands. They affect how
- much directory and file information is logged and kept in memory.
-
- Key Operation
-
- + Expand the tree 1 level below the directory. ZTreeWin logs the
- directory files and shows them in the File Window, and logs the
- 1st level subdirectory names and shows them on the tree.
- * Expand the branch under the current directory. Logs all sub-
- directories and their files and shows the branch on the tree.
- - Collapse the entire branch. All file and directory information
- for the branch is released from memory, and that portion of the
- tree is no longer displayed.
- ENTER If the directory is not logged, the '+' operation is performed.
-
- 1.2 File Windows│
- ────────────────┘
- The ZTreeWin File Windows are used to list file information. Only those
- files that are logged (i.e. have been read into memory at program startup,
- or via the Log command, or by expanding the Directory tree) and files that
- have names matching the File Specification are shown and affected by
- ZTreeWin operations.
-
- The highlight bar indicates the current file which is the file affected by
- the standard File Commands. Move the highlight bar with the cursor keys.
-
- A diamond symbol is displayed to the immediate right of any files that are
- tagged. Tagged file commands will affect all tagged files in the list that
- match the File Specification.
-
- You can change the order in which the files are listed by using the Sort
- Criteria (Alt+Sort) command. You can also select what details about the
- files are to be displayed by using the File Display (Alt+File display)
- command.
-
- The Small File Window appears under the Directory Window, and it lists the
- files found in the current directory. To move the highlight bar from the
- Directory Window to the Small File Window, press ENTER. To move back to the
- Directory Window, press ESC. Note that the Small File Window may be skipped
- by changing the ZTreeWin configuration.
-
- Under certain conditions the Small File Window will contain one of the
- following indications:
-
- Dir Empty There are no files in this directory.
- No Files Match There are files in the directory, but none of them have
- names that match the File Specification.
- Dir Not Logged The directory has not been logged, and it is not known if
- it contains any files. Use + or * to log the directory.
-
- The Expanded File Window also lists the files that are in the current
- directory. It replaces the Small File Window and the Directory Window
- allowing more file information to be displayed. The Branch File Window
- lists the files in the current branch. The Showall Window lists all files
- on the current disk. The Global Window lists all files on all logged disks.
-
- 1.3 Directory and File Window Control Keys│
- ──────────────────────────────────────────┘
- The ENTER key moves the highlight bar from the Directory Window to the Small
- File Window to the Expanded File Window and back to the Directory Window.
- ESC from any file window returns to the Directory Window. The window where
- the highlight bar is located is the active window and determines what
- commands are available.
-
- As well as being able to view all files within a single directory, you may
- also view all files within the highlighted Branch (press 'B'), all logged
- files on the current disk (Showall, 'S' key) and all logged files on all
- logged disks (Global, 'G' key).
-
- Within any window, the Arrow keys, Page keys, and HOME and END keys move
- the highlight bar from item to item or scroll the window. You can also key
- Shift+A through Shift+Z to move the highlight bar to the next item in the
- list whose name begins with that letter.
-
- Within the Directory Window, the RIGHT ARROW key moves down the current path to the last subdirectory in that path. The LEFT ARROW key moves to
- the parent of the current directory, stopping when the parent is the
- first-level subdirectory. TAB/SHIFT-TAB moves up/down to the next directory on the same level as the current directory, within the same
- branch of the tree.
-
- 1.4 FILES: (File Specification Box)│
- ───────────────────────────────────┘
- This is one of the keys to ZTreeWin file operations since only files
- matching this File Specification are displayed and affected by ZTreeWin
- operations. You will normally choose to have a wildcard name (* and ?) here.
-
- The files that match the File Specification are referred to as Matching
- files. When ZTreeWin is first started, the *.* wildcard specification
- appears and all files are available. You can change this at any time to
- look at different groups of files. Invoke the Filespec command to enter a
- new specification.
-
- You can enter up to 5 file specifications separating each one with a space
- or comma. This enables you to view combinations of files. When the length
- of the File Specification exceeds the space available in the File
- Specification Box, a right arrow indicates that part of the specification is
- not visible.
-
- If you enter an inverted Filespec (eg. -*.TXT), ZTreeWin shows you those
- files that do NOT match the File Specification.
-
- 1.5 DISK: (Disk Specification Box)│
- ──────────────────────────────────┘
- This identifies the disk currently referenced by ZTreeWin, and shows the
- volume name and number of available bytes for this disk. This changes each
- time you Log or select a new disk.
-
- Use the Log or Log Options (Alt+Log) commands to log another disk. Log
- keeps the information for previously logged disks in memory, and Log Options
- releases all other disks and/or provides for partial logging. Use the > and
- < keys to display a previously logged disk without relogging it.
-
- To change the volume name of a disk, select the Volume command from the
- Directory Window command menu.
-
- 1.6 Statistics│
- ──────────────┘
- When the Directory Window or Showall File Window is active, the statistics
- in this box reflect the data for the entire disk - DISK Statistics. For the
- Small or Expanded File Window, the statistics apply only to the current
- directory - DIRECTORY Stats. When the Branch Window is active, the
- statistics apply only to the current branch - BRANCH Statistics. In the
- Global Window, the statistics include all logged disks - GLOBAL Statistics.
- In all cases, the statistics reflect totals only for currently logged files.
-
- The Total statistics let you see the total number of files and how much
- space these files use. The Matching statistics show you how many files
- match the File Specification and the amount of space they utilize. The
- Tagged statistics show you how many files have been tagged (marked with a
- diamond) and how many bytes these tagged files occupy.
-
- Finally, this box displays the name of the current directory if the
- Directory Window is active or the current file if any of the file windows is
- active.
-
- In addition to the statistics displayed in the Statistics Box, ZTreeWin
- provides more detailed information about your disk and files in the Extended
- Statistics window. Press '?' from the Directory or File window to display
- the window. Close the window by pressing ESC or ENTER. Below is a guide to
- some of the additional data supplied in the window:
-
- Capacity - Total amount of physical space on the volume.
- Available space- Amount of space not yet occupied by directories and files.
- Used space - Amount of space actually allocated by to directories
- and files.
- Slack space - Total amount of wasted space due to the FAT allocation
- methods.
-
- Total,Matching,- These fields show totals for the entire disk, even when
- Tagged files displayed from a file window.
-
- Displayed files- The number of files displayed in the file window. This
- total can differ from the Total files count in the standard
- Statistics Box in the CTRL/Showall and CTRL/Global windows.
-
- 1.7 Split Windows│
- ─────────────────┘
- ZTreeWin lets you have two simultaneous views of the directories and files
- on your disks. From the Directory or File Window press F8 to split the
- current display in two. After splitting the display, you can perform
- ZTreeWin commands separately on each side of the display. The operations
- are performed in the display that contains the highlight bar.
-
- Use the TAB key to move the highlight bar between the two displays. The
- side of the display you are leaving is frozen. If you perform operations in
- the newly activated display that affect the information in the inactive
- display, the inactive display is updated ONLY when you TAB back to it.
-
- When you first split the display, the program copies the file tags from the
- original display to the new one. Any Tag or Untag operations you then
- perform affect only the tags in the display that is currently active. In
- other words, file tags are maintained separately once the display is split.
-
- To unsplit the display, press F8 again. ZTreeWin displays the last window
- that was active when you chose the unsplit command.
-
- 1.8 Destination Directory Window│
- ────────────────────────────────┘
- This window enables you to point to a destination directory rather than
- typing the path when comparing or grafting directories or comparing, moving
- and copying files. Display this window by pressing F2 when being prompted
- for the destination path during these commands.
-
- The highlight bar identifies the destination directory. Use the cursor keys
- to highlight the desired directory. Press ENTER to select the directory and
- feed the path name to the destination prompt. Press ESC to return to the
- destination prompt without feeding a path name.
-
- When you display this window the directory structure of the current disk is
- shown. In most cases you can select another previously logged drive with
- the > and < keys. Log another drive without releasing currently logged
- drives with the Log command.
-
- 2. ZTreeWin Commands│
- ────────────────────┘
- ZTreeWin provides two primary sets of command menus. These menus are
- displayed at the bottom of the screen, and change according to where the
- highlight bar is.
-
- The Directory Commands menus contain the commands that operate on disks and
- directories, and are displayed only when the highlight bar is in the
- Directory Window. The File Commands menus usually operate on files, and
- are only displayed when one of the File Windows is active. There are three
- sets of Directory Commands and three sets of File Commands: standard
- commands, CTRL shifted commands, and ALT shifted commands.
-
- Standard commands are those you usually see at the bottom of the screen.
- Choose these commands by pressing the key indicated by the first uppercase
- letter in the command. Standard commands generally operate on individual
- disks, directories, and files. CTRL commands appear when you hold down the
- CTRL key. They typically act on multiple files. ALT commands appear when
- you hold down the ALT key. They are advanced commands and sometimes extend
- the function of standard commands.
