Getting file or folder information (properties)
12.1.1 Create a New Folder
Creating a sub-folder in VarioUltra is a simple process. For the purpose of this step-by-step set of instructions, we
will walk through the steps required to create a sub-folder within the Edit folder.
1. From within File Manager, make sure you are at the uppermost level of the file list on the folder called
Flashdisk. Enter this folder by moving the Navistick to the right; a single tap to the right should do it.
2. Within the Flashdisk folder you will find the Edit folder. Scroll up or down with the Navistick until you find
the Edit folder. Enter this folder by moving the Navistick to the right; a single tap to the right should do it.
3. Since the Edit folder is very likely empty, VarioUltra will display a message telling you as much.
4. At this point, open the command menu (S3) and select menu item File > New folder.
5. A dialog will open and you will find yourself in an edit box where the new folder name can be entered.
Note that a suggested name "Newfolder" will be present. You can either accept this suggested name, or
overwrite with your preferred name.
6. Confirm with "OK" to accept and exit back to the file list. Your new folder has been created and should be
visible to you in the file list.
You can reach the New Folder dialog in future with the shortcut n+B8B9. The dialog also contains the last used
save location; you can also change the path if you wish.
12.1.2 Open a File or Folder
The Open command is used to open files and folders. When a folder is opened, the files and sub-folders will be
displayed in a list. When a file is opened the user is transferred to the appropriate application:
DOC, DOCX, TXT .BRF and .RTF files open the Word Processor
XLS and XLSX files open the Spreadsheet Viewer
PDF files open the PDF Document Viewer
Here are the step-by-step instructions to open a file or folder:
1. From within the file list, scroll up or down to the file or folder you wish to open.
2. Once you are on the file or folder you wish to open, enter the command menu with S3, and then select
File > Open.
3. If you are opening a folder, the folder opens to show the content in a file list.
4. If you are opening a file, the file will open inside the appropriate application.
You can use the shortcut o+B8B9 in future to open the selected file or folder.
Opening Files from Within the Word Processor Application
By default, the Word Processor app only displays text-based documents such as RTF and DOC/DOCX files. To
change what type of files you see, follow these additional instructions.
1. From within the Word Processor, follow the instructions 1 through 3 above to get to the file tree.
2. Once inside the list of files, press display buttons D4+D6 to access the other options in the dialog; the
current path will be displayed.
3. Scroll down once using the Navistick, and the entry below the path will be the File Type list; the factory
default is "Text Files (RTF, TXT, DOC, DOCX) 1 of 3".
4. Now scroll right with the Navistick to select either "Braille Files (BRF) 2 of 3" or "All Files (*.*) 3 of 3".
Any change you make to the type of files to be displayed will now be remembered by VarioUltra.
You will need to repeat these instructions if you change your mind in future.
5. You can now use the Navistick to scroll back up to the file list. If, for example, you chose to display All
Files, you will now see BRF files in addition to any text-based file formats.
12.1.3 Delete a File or Folder
With the delete command you can delete files and/or folders from the storage media. Deleting a folder also deletes
files saved within that folder. When deleting large files or folders that contain several files, note that deletion
process may take some time. A flashing pattern will appear on the first braille cell to indicate when VarioUltra is
busy. Do not attempt to switch off or otherwise interrupt VarioUltra until this flashing pattern stops.
