1.1 Directory Window│
────────────────────┘
This area shows the directory structure of the current disk. The Root
directory is at the top of the list, and all other directories are sorted
alphabetically and displayed from the top of the window to the bottom.
Main directories are on the left, with subdirectories indented to the right.
A Branch is defined as any directory and all the subdirectories that are
indented below it.
When the highlight bar is located in the Directory Window this window is
active, and ZTreeWin's Directory Commands are available. The highlight bar
identifies the current directory. When you start ZTreeWin, the Directory
Window is active and the highlight bar is at the disks ROOT directory. You
can move the bar to any directory on the tree by using the cursor keys.
If you move the highlight bar to the Small File Window (by pressing ENTER),
a left-arrow symbol is shown in the Directory Window, marking the current
directory.
The Path Identification Line is above the Directory Window. It always shows
the current disk and directory path being accessed by ZTreeWin.
Normally, the Directory Window shows you the entire tree for the disk.
However, ZTreeWin also gives you the ability to selectively read (log) and
display portions of the disk. This helps to conserve memory and allows you
to focus only on areas of the tree you are most interested in.
Through the ZTreeWin configuration program you can configure ZTreeWin to
log disks only to the first level of directories under the root. You can
then use outlining commands to expand and collapse (log and release)
branches on the tree. The following symbols to the left of the directory
tree have special meaning:
<space> Corresponding directory is fully logged, i.e. all its files and
1st level subdirectories are in memory and available for display.
+ Directory is not logged. It may or may not contain files and/or
subdirectories. Use the '+' or '*' key to expand it.
∙ Directory is logged, but part of its branch may be hidden. This
can happen if you have used the F5 and F6 keys.
The following keys provide you tree outlining commands. They affect how
much directory and file information is logged and kept in memory.
Key Operation
+ Expand the tree 1 level below the directory. ZTreeWin logs the
directory files and shows them in the File Window, and logs the
1st level subdirectory names and shows them on the tree.
* Expand the branch under the current directory. Logs all sub-
directories and their files and shows the branch on the tree.
- Collapse the entire branch. All file and directory information
for the branch is released from memory, and that portion of the
tree is no longer displayed.
ENTER If the directory is not logged, the '+' operation is performed.
1.2 File Windows│
────────────────┘
The ZTreeWin File Windows are used to list file information. Only those
files that are logged (i.e. have been read into memory at program startup,
or via the Log command, or by expanding the Directory tree) and files that
have names matching the File Specification are shown and affected by
ZTreeWin operations.
The highlight bar indicates the current file which is the file affected by
the standard File Commands. Move the highlight bar with the cursor keys.
A diamond symbol is displayed to the immediate right of any files that are
tagged. Tagged file commands will affect all tagged files in the list that
match the File Specification.
You can change the order in which the files are listed by using the Sort
Criteria (Alt+Sort) command. You can also select what details about the
files are to be displayed by using the File Display (Alt+File display)
command.
The Small File Window appears under the Directory Window, and it lists the
files found in the current directory. To move the highlight bar from the
Directory Window to the Small File Window, press ENTER. To move back to the
Directory Window, press ESC. Note that the Small File Window may be skipped
by changing the ZTreeWin configuration.
Under certain conditions the Small File Window will contain one of the
following indications:
Dir Empty There are no files in this directory.
No Files Match There are files in the directory, but none of them have
names that match the File Specification.
Dir Not Logged The directory has not been logged, and it is not known if
it contains any files. Use + or * to log the directory.
The Expanded File Window also lists the files that are in the current
directory. It replaces the Small File Window and the Directory Window
allowing more file information to be displayed. The Branch File Window
lists the files in the current branch. The Showall Window lists all files
on the current disk. The Global Window lists all files on all logged disks.
1.3 Directory and File Window Control Keys│
──────────────────────────────────────────┘
The ENTER key moves the highlight bar from the Directory Window to the Small
File Window to the Expanded File Window and back to the Directory Window.
ESC from any file window returns to the Directory Window. The window where
the highlight bar is located is the active window and determines what
commands are available.
As well as being able to view all files within a single directory, you may
also view all files within the highlighted Branch (press 'B'), all logged
files on the current disk (Showall, 'S' key) and all logged files on all
logged disks (Global, 'G' key).
Within any window, the Arrow keys, Page keys, and HOME and END keys move
the highlight bar from item to item or scroll the window. You can also key
Shift+A through Shift+Z to move the highlight bar to the next item in the
list whose name begins with that letter.
Within the Directory Window, the RIGHT ARROW key moves down the current path to the last subdirectory in that path. The LEFT ARROW key moves to
the parent of the current directory, stopping when the parent is the
first-level subdirectory. TAB/SHIFT-TAB moves up/down to the next directory on the same level as the current directory, within the same
branch of the tree.
1.4 FILES: (File Specification Box)│
───────────────────────────────────┘
This is one of the keys to ZTreeWin file operations since only files
matching this File Specification are displayed and affected by ZTreeWin
operations. You will normally choose to have a wildcard name (* and ?) here.
The files that match the File Specification are referred to as Matching
files. When ZTreeWin is first started, the *.* wildcard specification
appears and all files are available. You can change this at any time to
look at different groups of files. Invoke the Filespec command to enter a
new specification.
You can enter up to 5 file specifications separating each one with a space
or comma. This enables you to view combinations of files. When the length
of the File Specification exceeds the space available in the File
Specification Box, a right arrow indicates that part of the specification is
not visible.
If you enter an inverted Filespec (eg. -*.TXT), ZTreeWin shows you those
files that do NOT match the File Specification.
1.5 DISK: (Disk Specification Box)│
──────────────────────────────────┘
This identifies the disk currently referenced by ZTreeWin, and shows the
volume name and number of available bytes for this disk. This changes each
time you Log or select a new disk.
Use the Log or Log Options (Alt+Log) commands to log another disk. Log
keeps the information for previously logged disks in memory, and Log Options
releases all other disks and/or provides for partial logging. Use the > and
< keys to display a previously logged disk without relogging it.
To change the volume name of a disk, select the Volume command from the
Directory Window command menu.
1.6 Statistics│
──────────────┘
When the Directory Window or Showall File Window is active, the statistics
in this box reflect the data for the entire disk - DISK Statistics. For the
Small or Expanded File Window, the statistics apply only to the current
directory - DIRECTORY Stats. When the Branch Window is active, the
statistics apply only to the current branch - BRANCH Statistics. In the
Global Window, the statistics include all logged disks - GLOBAL Statistics.
In all cases, the statistics reflect totals only for currently logged files.
The Total statistics let you see the total number of files and how much
space these files use. The Matching statistics show you how many files
match the File Specification and the amount of space they utilize. The
Tagged statistics show you how many files have been tagged (marked with a
diamond) and how many bytes these tagged files occupy.
Finally, this box displays the name of the current directory if the
Directory Window is active or the current file if any of the file windows is
active.
In addition to the statistics displayed in the Statistics Box, ZTreeWin
provides more detailed information about your disk and files in the Extended
Statistics window. Press '?' from the Directory or File window to display
the window. Close the window by pressing ESC or ENTER. Below is a guide to
some of the additional data supplied in the window:
Capacity - Total amount of physical space on the volume.
Available space- Amount of space not yet occupied by directories and files.
Used space - Amount of space actually allocated by to directories
and files.
Slack space - Total amount of wasted space due to the FAT allocation
methods.
Total,Matching,- These fields show totals for the entire disk, even when
Tagged files displayed from a file window.
Displayed files- The number of files displayed in the file window. This
total can differ from the Total files count in the standard
Statistics Box in the CTRL/Showall and CTRL/Global windows.
1.7 Split Windows│
─────────────────┘
ZTreeWin lets you have two simultaneous views of the directories and files
on your disks. From the Directory or File Window press F8 to split the
current display in two. After splitting the display, you can perform
ZTreeWin commands separately on each side of the display. The operations
are performed in the display that contains the highlight bar.
Use the TAB key to move the highlight bar between the two displays. The
side of the display you are leaving is frozen. If you perform operations in
the newly activated display that affect the information in the inactive
display, the inactive display is updated ONLY when you TAB back to it.
When you first split the display, the program copies the file tags from the
original display to the new one. Any Tag or Untag operations you then
perform affect only the tags in the display that is currently active. In
other words, file tags are maintained separately once the display is split.
To unsplit the display, press F8 again. ZTreeWin displays the last window
that was active when you chose the unsplit command.
1.8 Destination Directory Window│
────────────────────────────────┘
This window enables you to point to a destination directory rather than
typing the path when comparing or grafting directories or comparing, moving
and copying files. Display this window by pressing F2 when being prompted
for the destination path during these commands.
The highlight bar identifies the destination directory. Use the cursor keys
to highlight the desired directory. Press ENTER to select the directory and
feed the path name to the destination prompt. Press ESC to return to the
destination prompt without feeding a path name.
When you display this window the directory structure of the current disk is
shown. In most cases you can select another previously logged drive with
the > and < keys. Log another drive without releasing currently logged
drives with the Log command.
2. ZTreeWin Commands│
────────────────────┘
ZTreeWin provides two primary sets of command menus. These menus are
displayed at the bottom of the screen, and change according to where the
highlight bar is.
The Directory Commands menus contain the commands that operate on disks and
directories, and are displayed only when the highlight bar is in the
Directory Window. The File Commands menus usually operate on files, and
are only displayed when one of the File Windows is active. There are three
sets of Directory Commands and three sets of File Commands: standard
commands, CTRL shifted commands, and ALT shifted commands.
Standard commands are those you usually see at the bottom of the screen.
Choose these commands by pressing the key indicated by the first uppercase
letter in the command. Standard commands generally operate on individual
disks, directories, and files. CTRL commands appear when you hold down the
CTRL key. They typically act on multiple files. ALT commands appear when
you hold down the ALT key. They are advanced commands and sometimes extend
the function of standard commands.
2.1 ZTreeWin Function Keys│
──────────────────────────┘
