The Directory Selection Dialog - Kurzweil K2500 - PERFORMANCE GUIDE REV F PART NUMBER 910251 CHAP 13 Manual

Disk Mode

The Directory Selection Dialog

Pressing OK will select the default path, which is the current directory. Pressing Change will
allow you to view the disk, traversing its directories, until you find the one in which you want
to create the new subdirectory, in this case "THINGS". (see Change Directory Dialog, below)
Creating a Directory with the Save and NewDir Soft Buttons
As a convenience when saving files to a directory, you can press Save from the Disk Mode page
and then press NewDir at the "Save what:" dialog. After you have created the directory in this
way, the current directory is automatically switched to while you are still in the save dialog.
See the section on saving files for more information.
When you have confirmed your choice of what directory to create a new sub-directory in, the
K2500 will create the named directory on your drive, and print a brief message such as:
Created|directory|/THINGS
If the new directory function was created by pressing the NewDir button on the DiskMode
page, the K2500 returns to the Disk Mode page. Otherwise, if NewDir was pressed from the
Save dialog, the K2500 returns to the "Save what:" dialog, having set the current directory to be
the one just created.
The Directory Selection Dialog
When making a new directory, as well as in many of the disk functions, you will be presented
with the opportunity to change the current directory, or the default directory for a disk
operation. A good example is the "Use current directory for THINGS? (Path = \)" screen above.
If you press "Change" you will see a familiar file list dialog, with a few changes, through which
you can select any directory on the disk. The display looks like this:
Dir:\||||||||||||Sel:0/23|||||Index:||7|
|||||||||||||||||MELLOTRN|.KRZ||||122K||
|||||||||||||||||N123AB|||.KRZ|||||42K||
Select|directory:OCEANS|||.KRZ|||3456K||
|||||||||||||||||STRINGS||||||(dir)|||||
|||||||||||||||||T1|||||||||||(dir)|||||
|Total:21034K||||UNDULATE|.KRZ|||||.5K||
|Root||Parent|Open|||||||||Current|Exit|
When you enter this dialog, you will be in whatever directory was displayed as the default.
From here you can go into other directories by using the soft buttons Root, Parent, and Open.
Notice that there is no "Select" button. This is because the purpose of this dialog is to choose a
single directory as opposed to selecting multiple files. However, the Root, Parent, and Open
buttons function exactly as described above (for the file list dialog). The Sel: parameter (on the
top line) is useful as an indication of the number of entries in the directory you are looking at.
If you are scrolled to a directory entry, there is one additional soft button displayed, "SetDir".
Notice the "Current" button moves over one button to the left:
