Main window
Navigator
The Navigator is located on the third tab in the Operations/Navigator pane, by default along the left hand side of the Main window.
The Navigator:
- provides a tree structure for all drives and directories,
- has a history of recently visited drives and directories.
You can click the plus sign in front of a folder/directory to expand the folder and see possible subdirectories.
To view the contents of a drive or directory:
When you click a directory in the Navigator, the contents of the currently active Catalog will be replaced with the contents of the selected drive or directory.
When you click a directory in the Navigator with the right mouse button, and choose New Catalog from the context-sensitive menu, the contents of the selected directory will be shown in a new Catalog.
Tip: To open a new Catalog, you can also click the
New Catalog button in the standard toolbar of the Main window.
Other functionality:
- When you selected one or more objects in a Catalog or in Windows Explorer, you can directly drag the object(s) to a folder/directory in the Navigator in order to copy the objects to the other directory.
- When you selected one or more objects in a Catalog, and used Copy, you can use the right mouse button on a destination folder in the Navigator and choose Paste from the context-sensitive menu to Paste into the object(s) into the destination folder/directory.
- When you click a folder/directory in the Navigator with the right mouse button and select Create Directory, you can enter a name for a new subdirectory. The new subdirectory will appear under the selected folder/directory.
- To quickly return to a previously used folder or directory, expand the History item (
) at the top of the list in the Navigator, and choose the directory to which you wish to return.
Tip: For performance purposes, it is advised to access data from the hard disk, not from floppy drives nor from network drives/directories.
