- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Drag & drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Drag & drop
-
- DirMaster supports drag & drop both ways. That is you can drag both
- from DirMaster to any program and from a program to DirMaster. You
- can also drag files within DirMaster from one dirwindow to the other.
- You drag files by first selecting them and then pressing and holding
- the right mouse button down.
-
- When dragging files from one dirwindow to the other the following
- applies. The files are moved when you only hold the right mouse
- button down, and are copied when you press CTRL at the same time.
-
- Dragging files from DirMaster to another application and the other
- way around works the same way as the drag described above. DirMaster
- itself performs the copy/move when dragging to DirMaster, but not
- when dragging from DirMaster (now it is the other application's
- responsibility).
-
- Note: Due to a minor bug, the sourcefile is not removed from the
- source window when moving in this way. This applies to all dragging
- from and within DirMaster.

-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.2. Statusline ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Statusline
-
- The statusline is the raised 3D box directly below the menu. It has
- two purposes:
-
- 1. Displaying the number of selected files, dirs and their bytesize,
- and displaying the total number of files and dirs in the directory
- and their total filesize. The format is like this:
-
- # of selected dirs / total # of dirs # of selected files / total #
- of files selected bytes / total bytes
-
- 2. Displaying information that need no confirmation, like Operation
- complete! and also current action etc, when performing fileoperations
- on single files. It is generally used when the Progress dialog is not
- displayed.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.3. Label and freespace boxes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Label and freespace boxes
-
- Purposes:
-
- - Display disk label of the current drive
-
- - Display free diskspace on the current drive.
-
- - Show which directory window is selected. The
- box above the selected window is highlighted.
-
- Switching between directory windows:
-
- This can be acomplished in several ways. The easiest way is by
- clicking the right mouse button in the window you want selected. This
- also causes free diskspace and disklabel to be updated for this
- window.
- Another way is to use the left mouse button. This does NOT cause
- free diskspace or disklabel to be updated. It does however cause the
- file beneath the pointer to be selected.
- A third way is to use the keyboard. Both TAB and SPACE switches to
- the other dirwindow.
-
- Displaying the available drives list:
-
- By pressing both mouse button 1 and 2 simultaneously (chord) the
- active dirwindow will display a list of all drives available.
- Choosing a drive from this list causes the root directory of that
- drive to be loaded in the same dirwindow (replacing the drive list).
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.4. Dirwindows ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Dirwindows
-
- The directory (dir from now on) windows are two listboxes (my own,
- not the system's) containing files in the current dirs (you have two
- current dirs. A source and a target.). The selected dir automatically
- becomes the source and the other the target. Multiple files can be
- selected in the dir windows by either clicking on the files one by
- one, by draging the mouse up/down while holding mouse button #1 down
- or by pressing the All button or None button.
-
- Left mouse button double clicking:
-
- The dir windows support double clicking. DirMaster will take an
- action when any of the following are double clicked:
-
- - Directories. Double clicking on one will cause DirMaster to enter
- it and display it (replacing the current dir) in the dir window.
- This includes the parent directory (..) if it is enabled in the
- dirwindows configuration.
-
- - Files with the extension EXE or COM. DirMaster will try to figure
- out wheather it is a DOS, Windows, OS/2 textmode or PM program. You can
- then specify cmd line parameters in execute dialog that pops up.
-
- - Files with the extention CMD. DirMaster will load the default cmdline
- interpreter (CMD.EXE, 4os2.exe or whatever) and run the batch file.
-
- - Files with the extention BAT or BTM. The DOS cmdline interpreter
- will be loaded and the batch file run.
-
- - Files with extensions configured in the User button configuration.
- The corresponding user function will be executed.
-
- Other clicking:
-
- The dirwindows support some special clicks too. There are two ways to
- go to the parent directory without using the Parent button or
- doubleclicking on the parent directory ("..").
- The first one is by double clicking with the right mouse button
- inside the dirwindow. This feature is always enabled and cannot be
- disabled.
- The second method it to move the mouse pointer out to the outer
- edge of the dirwindow, that is the left side in the left window and
- right side in the right window, and press the left mouse button. This
- function can be disabled in the General 2 page in the configuration.
-
- The last quick mouse function in the dirwindow allows the user to
- quickly go to the root directory. It is performed by clicking the
- right mouse button on the outer window edge. This function can be
- disabled in the General 2 page in the configuration.
-
- Locating files quickly:
-
- To find a specific filename in the dirwindow, just type the character
- corresponding to the first character in the filename and DirMaster
- will scroll the dirwindow to the first file it located. If no file
- starting with that character, Dirmaster will increase the character
- by one until it finds a match.
-
- Note: This functions may not always work correctly in other sorting
- modes than ascending/filename.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.5. Directory path boxes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Directory path boxes
-
- Path boxes (see the picture below) are situated below the two dir
- windows. Their functions are to contain the path for the drive window
- above it. The boxes are automatically updated whenever a new
- directory is loaded.
-
- The path boxes can also be used to change directories. Just click
- inside it, enter the desired directory (including drive) and press
- enter. If you made a mistake in the directory name DirMaster will let
- you know by writing <no directory read> in the label box above the
- dir window. The directory path you had typed will still be in the
- path box so you won't have to type it all over again.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.6. Arrow buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Arrow buttons
-
- These three buttons does the following:
-
- The < button reads the directory contained in the right dirwindow
- into the left dirwindow. The directory in the right window remains
- the same.
-
- The > button does the opposite of the < button. It reads the
- directory contained in the left dirwindow into the right window.
-
- These two buttons can be useful if for instance you wish to copy a
- file in the current directory into a sub dir in the current
- directory. To do that you would just have to "copy" the dir with one
- of the two buttons mentioned above, then enter the sub dir and the
- file is ready to be copied.
-
- The <> swaps the two directories in the dirwindows. The left dir is
- moved to the right dirwindow and the right dir is moved to the left
- dirwindow. This has no practical use unless you prefer to have the
- target dir in, say, the right dirwindow.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.7. Button panel ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Button panel
-
- The button panel consists of all the buttons at the bottom of the
- DirMaster window. They are divided into two types of buttons:
-
- Drive buttons
- Function buttons
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.7.1. Drive buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Drive buttons
-
- The drive button row is positioned to the right on the button panel.
- Their function is to allow the user to quickly change between several
- dir and/or drives configured in the Drive buttons configuration.
-
- These buttons appear like normal buttons, but are in fact not quite
- normal. There are only a few buttons visible at at time. This number
- is the same as the number of rows selected for the button panel in
- the Button panel configuration. These buttons consists of several
- banks of buttons. Going to the next bank is acomplished by clicking
- the right mouse button anywhere on the buttons. The number of banks
- is dependent on which button is the last to contain a label in the
- Drive page configuration. The maximum number of banks is 5, and the
- maximum number of rows is 6. That gives a maximum of 30 drive buttons
- which ought to be enough for anyone. :)
-
- There is also a scrollbar to the right of the buttons. This scrollbar
- enables you to scroll up and down the buttons just like they were a
- listbox. Very handy!
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.7.2. Function buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Function buttons
-
- The function buttons consists of two types of buttons. Internal
- functions are those supplied by DirMaster (Copy, Move, Rename etc.)
- and user functions specified and configured by the user in the User
- configuration.
-
- Just like the Drive buttons, these buttons behave a little different
- from ordinary buttons. They can each contain two functions. Double
- click here to get explanation. The buttons who has a small peel-off
- paper in the upper right corner have a right mouse button function.
-
- You can also have multiple banks of buttons. This is configured in
- the Button panel configuration. To switch bank (assuming you have
- more than one bank) press the left or right mouse button on the
- bottom statusline. The left mouse button changes to the previous bank
- while the right mouse button moves to the next bank.

- Why bother registering?
-
- Well. I've tried to put down many good reasons to do just that below.
- Read on, read on!
-
- Γûá First of all, registering removes the irritating "beg" dialog that
- pops up when you start DirMaster, and also the one after
- configuration.
-
- Γûá DirMaster will no longer display "Unregistered" in the title bar.
- Instead an 'r' will be appended to the version number indicating it
- is a registered version, and the status line will read DirMaster 2.00
- Registered to Your Name.
-
- Γûá The about dialog will display your name as well as your serial
- number and the site you registered DirMaster from.
-
- Γûá It does not cost that much! $39.50 (270NOK) is considerably less
- than any comercial product (like Norton Commander) costs. There are
- no hidden costs such as postage or anything. (except if you want
- DirMaster on a diskette)
-
- Γûá The author has put down a LOT of work on DirMaster. The author has
- used much of his sparetime (I still attend school) programming. He
- deserves SOMETHING, doesn't he?
-
- Γûá The more people who register, the more encouraged I will be to
- continue improving and developing DirMaster.
-
- Γûá DirMaster can not be considered "crippleware" in ANY way, since all
- the functions are availible for you to evaluate. Even though I have
- do this, it does not mean that I am giving away DirMaster for free.
- If very few of the people using DirMaster registers it, then I may be
- foreced to add more beg dialogs, delays and other cruel things. I
- don't want to do that, and I don't think you, as a user, would like
- that much either. I suppose that speaks for itself..
-
- Thank you for considering to register!
