Sorting Your Files With The View Controls - Maxtor Fusion User Manual

MAXTOR FUSION USER'S GUIDE
There are two advantages to using this method. The first is
that all folder and sub-folder structures are preserved when
importing files. And second, file transfers are much faster.
Using this interface, you can import (and move, copy, and
delete) just as you can on your Windows or Macintosh
desktop. To import files into HOME folders, you have two
choices:
– Drag and drop files into the folder of your choice.
– Move, Copy, Cut, and Paste files using the EDIT pull
down menu or right click on your mouse.
NOTE: Once you log into the EXPLORE interface, your
PC's OS will keep your user account logged in even
after you close the EXPLORE window. To log out, your
computer requires you to perform a user log out from
its operating system or restart the computer. If you are
the only Maxtor Fusion user that uses your computer
then you can have your computer automatically log you
in after restarting your computer – select the
appropriate option from the login screen of your file
manager when you double-click the EXPLORE icon.
Thumbnail Generation and Performance
When content is uploaded to your Maxtor Fusion, it will
automatically create a thumbnail for each file. For picture
files, thumbnails of the picture itself will appear. During
upload, thumbnails for pictures will initially appear as
generic camera thumbnails, but as soon as all the files are
uploaded, the real picture will appear.
For movie files, a thumbnail of a video camera will appear.
For music files with album art embedded in their mp3 tag
the album art will be displayed. For other audio files, a
thumbnail of headphones will appear, and for documents,
a thumbnail of the type of application the file was created
in will appear. When you roll the cursor over the thumbnails,
a tool tip will appear with the name of the file.

NOTE: Depending on the number of files that you
import, it may take several minutes or even hours to
generate the thumbnails for every imported file. As the
thumbnails are being generated, the default camera or
headphone icons are replaced by the picture or
embedded album art. Placing your mouse over a
thumbnail as they are being generated will reveal a
tooltip with a status message. Until this process is
complete external accessibility may be affected.

Sorting Your Files with the View Controls

The Maxtor Fusion web interface allows you to sort your files
in many different ways. The system has a default view, but
you can sort your files differently at any time using the view
controls. You can change the view by clicking one of the icons
in the horizontal bar located near the top of the interface.
The default view shows small thumbnail-sized icons for each
file in the selected folder, but there are several other useful
views. Changing the view does not change your files or the
folder structure you have created.
After locating a file, you can double-click it and the Detailed
Information window – shown above – will pop open. From
this window, you can rename the file, download it, play it, or
enter a description and one or more tags.
