'Create Directory' - Program Help start.
To create a new subdirectory:
1. Select the directory or drive that will contain the new subdirectory.
2. Choose Create directory from the File menu and Enter the new name.
3. New name will be shown in the results list on the status bar.
NB Directories are often described as Folders. Directory and folder are just different names for the same thing. K-free will always use the name Directory.
1. Select the directory or drive that will contain the new subdirectory.
(referred to here as the parent directory)
The parent directory to be used will be from the first selected item in the current section:
. directory tree - the directory selected will be used as the parent directory.
. file list - the first file or directory selected in blue and marked with * will be used to determine the parent directory. If any file is selected, the directory containing that file will be used [If directories are selected as well as files, they will be ignored even if they appear before the files] If no files are selected in blue, the first file selected in green will be used.
. the text section - directory containing the file currently displayed will be used as the parent directory.
The current section is the part (directory tree, file list or text) which has a white background.
To change the section, press tab or click on the section required.
2. Choose Create directory from the File menu and Enter the new name.
On any disk drive there can be many directories. These are the top level directories.
The list of top level directories and files that are not in a directory is called the root directory for a drive.
E.g. C:\ is the root directory for drive C.
C:\temp1\ is the top level directory called temp1.
To Create top level directory temp1 on drive C:
a. Select drive C: in the directory tree
b. Choose Create directory from the file menu
c. Enter directory name temp1
A directory can contain many subdirectories.
The directory containing a subdirectory is called the parent directory.
The parent directory for a top level directory is the root directory for that drive.
It is shown as x:\ where x is the drive letter.
E.g. C:\temp1\pics\ is a subdirectory called pics of directory C:\temp1\
C:\temp1\ is the parent directory of subdirectory pics, C:\temp1\pics\.
C:\ is the parent directory of top-level directory temp1.
To Create subdirectory of C:\temp1\ called pics
a. Select drive C:\temp1\ in the directory tree
b. Choose Create directory from the file menu
c. Enter directory name pics
When you choose Create directory from the File Menu, the parent directory to be used will always be shown.
Enter the name of the new subdirectory.
The name entered will be checked. Certain characters are not allowed (<>*&|\?/) in a directory name. If you enter an incorrect name a message will be shown.
To create many levels of subdirectory at the same time, you can just enter the subdirectory names separated by \.
To Create subdirectory C:\temp1\pics\2000\jan\
a. Select drive C:\temp1\ in the directory tree
b. Choose Create directory from the file menu
c. Enter directory name pics\2000\jan\
d. NB This will create directory 2000 as a subdirectory of C:\temp1\pics\ AND it will the also create directory jan as a subdirectory of C:\temp1\pics\2000\
NB It does not make a difference whether you enter the final \ or not.
[Either pics\2000\jan\ OR pics\2000\jan in the last example will achieve the same result.]
3. New name will be shown in the results list on the status bar.
The Directory tree will also be expanded to show the new directory.
If the current section is directory tree then the new directory will also be selected.
'Create Directory' - Program Help end.
