5. A new anchor position is set to the current position, and you jump to the former anchor position. Using this
command again will toggle between these two positions. The anchor position is always set to the other file
or folder.
12.3 Command > View Menu
The following sections provide step-by-step instructions on the following elements of the View Menu:
Filter files and folders
Sorting files and folders
12.3.1 Filter
The filter option is where you can select what types of files and folders are shown. For example, internal files are
not shown by default, both because most of us never need to see them and because they otherwise clutter your
file list.
Here are the step-by-step instructions for accessing the Filter dialog:
1. Enter the Command Menu (S3) and select menu item View > Filter.
2. A dialog will appear with a check box beside three options to show hidden files, system files, and internal
files. These files are not shown by default.
a. Show hidden files: This is checked by default. It allows access to files and folders in the file list
that have the check box "Hidden" activated in "Properties".
b. Show system files: this is checked by default. This allows access to files that have the "System"
check box activated in "Properties".
c. Show internal files: this is unchecked by default. When internal files are shown it can take much
more time to open or close folders or files.
3. To check or uncheck the checkbox, tap B0.
NOTE: VarioUltra will not function properly and/or will no longer be operational if internal files or folders are
deleted, relocated, or renamed.
12.3.2 Sorting
Entries in the files and folders list can be sorted by name, size, extension (file type), or date. The default setting is
to sort by name, which means that content is displayed in alphabetical order; first folders and then files. The order
can be changed to sort by other criteria such as size, date, or extension. It is also possible to reverse the sorting
order, so that files appear before folders, albeit in reverse alphabetical order.
Here are the step-by-step instructions for this setting:
1. Enter the Command Menu (S3) and select menu item View > Sorting.
2. A dialog opens. Move left or right to select the desired sorting criteria.
3. If you want to reverse the sorting order, select "Sort backwards".
4. Confirm with "OK".
The file manager now presents the files and folders according to the new sorting order you have specified.
12.4 Command > Tools Menu
The following sections provide step-by-step instructions on the following elements of the Tools Menu:
What is a ZIP archive?
ZIP progress
ZIP Archive Functions
Creating ZIP files
12.4.1 What does ZIP Archive mean?
A ZIP archive is simply a file with the .zip extension. We use the term zip archive and zip file interchangeably in
this manual. The zip file contains one or more files or folders that are compressed in order to take up less space.
The size of the zip file is therefore smaller than adding up the single sizes of the uncompressed files and folders.
With VarioUltra, it is possible to zip (compress) and unzip (decompress) files.
When you zip files and/or folders together, a password can also be given to protect the file. This password must
then be entered during the unzipping procedure; otherwise you will not be allowed access to the compressed files
