Projects
In the file list, directories are shown in red with a -> suffix; files are shown in black. To
examine the contents of a directory, stab on that entry in the list. To access Project Files,
scroll the list and select the projects-> directory. You may choose to sort the list by
Name, Type, Size or Date by stabbing in the Sort box.
Single projects may be selected for transfer by stabbing on them and then stabbing on
the Current Dir. box. The selected items are highlighted in yellow in the main list and
also appear, complete with file path, in the smaller scrollable list below. This is the
'selected file' list and holds the items that will be backed up/transferred. To select
further projects, return to the main projects directory by stabbing on the red bar above
the list.
Alternatively, multiple projects can be selected by stabbing on the All Dirs box. This,
not surprisingly, selects all Project Files in the projects-> directory; deselect the projects
you don't wish to backup by stabbing on them in the 'selected file' list. Note that this
method of selection will be most effective when you wish to back up a large
proportion of Project Files in the list.
Having made your selections, stab on OK and you will find the selected files listed in
the Source ... box. Now, with a formatted MO in the drive, stab in the Destination ...
box and stab on the yellow Mag Opt box to select the MO as your destination.
To instigate the backup, select Start Copy. A TO DO X, DONE X tally at the bottom of
the pop-up keeps you informed of the transfer progress. Note that the status bar below
the pop-up also provides useful prompts at each stage of the transfer.
To search for a particular file (or directory), stab on the grey bar at the foot of the
display to enter a search string on the resultant QWERTY pop-up. Hit END and the
search string will appear in the bar. You may now select Matches to find items which
match the string, or Misses to find items that don't!
To select only directories or only files in the currently selected directory, select the All
Dirs or All Files box respectively. Once selected, individual files may be deselected by
stabbing on them in the main list or the 'selected file' list. None deselects all current
selections in the currently selected directory; Clear clears all entries from the 'selected'
list. A count of the number of selected items is displayed in the Got.... box.
To clear the Source/Destination display from the screen without effecting a transfer,
deselect the File Copy box.
The File Copy function can of course be used to effect file transfer between any
combination of System Disk, MO or Floppy. Simple select the correct drive by stabbing
on the System, Floppy or Mag Opt box as required. (The Network selection is not
applicable in commercial installations).
Use File Copy if you want to backup a Project File to floppy disk, including all the
element versions and 'Held' project data. If all this data will not fit on the floppy, you
can use Purge Proj (see Page 2-29) to limit the element data to the latest versions but
retain any 'Held' project data. Always make a copy of a project (see Page 2-5) before
using Purge Proj.
