- Important Notes
- for
- File Plus
-
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- This program provides the easiest user interface to date to manipulate
- almost all aspects of day-to-day managment of files and directories.
-
- As a result, it's also EXTREMELY easy to point-and-click thousands of
- files and directories into oblivion if you don't pay attention to the built in
- safeties.
-
- As a general rule, all functions in File Plus that can cause files and
- directories to be deleted or moved, will ask you for verification first. For
- advanced users, these safeties can be turned off.
-
