The number of files in each directory (each *.WPD workpiece
directory for workpieces) is limited to 1000 files.
The total of 100,000 does not apply to the other DM directories,
however each directory is also limited to a maximum of 1000 files, e.g.
a maximum of 1000 archives in the archive directory. Network drives
are also limited to a maximum of 1000 files in each directory.
The options that are available depend on the file size and the
available memory space. A large number of files slows down the
display building for directory displays.
The following directories contain special files:
1. Clipboard:
Files and directories of any type may be created/stored in the
clipboard. They can be used, among other things, to copy and
rename files and directories.
The clipboard is a directory on the hard disk, where files, which
cannot be included in the copy target directory, are stored. This may
be the case, for example, if their file type is unknown, or is not
permitted in the copy target directory.
2. Archive:
If you wish to save several files, you can store them in an archive
file (.ARC). Archive files are generated in a special format:
a. Punched tape format
b. PC format
(see also Sections "Punched tape" and "PC format")
The source path of files stored in an archive file is also saved in
the archive, allowing the packed file to be transferred back to the
same directory from which it was copied when the archive file is
unpacked again.
Series start-up archives are also stored in this directory.
