Creating Directories

return to that directory by pressing Parent, the index changes accordingly. This index is
remembered for one level down, and therefore is useful when stepping through a list of
subdirectories from a single directory level.
In the Load function, pressing Open for a standard file will start the Load Object feature. This
allows selected individual objects from the file to be loaded into the PC3. For example, pressing
Open while in the Delete function will display the objects within the file in a scrollable list,
however no delete action will be possible on the individual objects.
Pressing the OK soft button will cause the PC3 to proceed with the selected function. After
pressing OK, there may be further dialogs such as bank specification (for the Load function),
confirmation (for Delete), or name entry (for Rename). One exception to this is in the Load
function; when a directory is highlighted, pressing OK is the same as pressing Open (it displays
the contents of the highlighted directory).
The Cancel soft button exits the file list dialog, completing the function with or without any
operation taking place. The PC3 returns to the Storage mode page. Pressing the Exit button will
do the same thing as Cancel.
Creating Directories
You can create directories for organizing your PC3 files on an xD card.
Directories appear in the normal file list with the indicator (dir) to the right of the directory
name.
There are two ways to create new directories.
• Press the NewDir button while on the Storage mode page
• Press the NewDir button during the Save dialog.

Creating a Directory From the Storage Mode Page

When you press NewDir, the PC3 prompts you for the directory name.
Pressing >>End will take the cursor to the last character in the name. The Choose button allows
you to grab a filename from the current device (see the discussion of file-name grabbing, in More
Features of the Save Dialog on page 13-10). Otherwise, the name will default to either NEWFILE
after a powerup, or the name will be that of the most recent file saved or loaded. Once you
choose a name to start with (or the default), you can edit the name using the Left and Right
cursor buttons, the Delete and Insert soft buttons, and the >>End soft button. You can also use
keyboard naming, as described on page 5-4.
After you have chosen the directory name and pressed OK, you have the choice of where (in
what directory) to put the new directory you are creating.
Pressing OK will select the default path, which is the current directory. Pressing Change will
allow you to view the device, traversing its directories, until you find the one in which you want
to create the new directory.
The display shows that the PC3 has created the directory, then the Storage mode page reappears.

Creating a Directory in the Save Dialog

As a convenience when saving files to a directory, you can press Save from the Storage mode
page and then press NewDir in the Save dialog. You'll get the same prompts as when you create
