Creating and Opening Folders
Browsers let you create and manipulate folders
(file system sub-directories). All folders have Ex-
pand/Collapse icons to show their contents.
Dragging items onto a folder icon is the same as
dragging into an open browser.
To create a new folder in a Volume browser or
Catalog:
Choose New Folder from the Browser menu.

Type a name for the folder, and click OK.
2
(Click Cancel to cancel the new folder.)
In Volume browsers, the folder is created on
disk. In Catalogs, the folder is created in the Cat-
alog only. The Items List updates as new items
are added.
To open a folder in the current browser:
Double-click the folder, or click the Ex-
pand/Collapse icon for the item.
With the browser in the foreground and the
folder selected, press Control+Down Arrow
key (Windows) or Command+Down Arrow
key (Mac) to open a folder in the current
browser.
To create and open a folder in its own new
browser:
Control-double-click (Windows) or Com-
mand-double-click (Mac) the folder. The previ-
ous (parent) Browser window remains open.
With the browser in the foreground and the
folder selected, press Control+Alt+Down
Arrow key (Windows) or Command+Op-
tion+Down Arrow key (Mac) to open a
folder in its own new browser.
