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
