- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. PM Directory Enforcer Overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- PM Directory Enforcer is ideal for manually insuring files are current across
- your hard drives, network drives and floppies.
-
- Please see the following sections for more information:
-
- Selecting directories to compare
-
- Comparison results window
-
- Selecting files for manipulation
-
- File function buttons
-
- PM Directory Enforcer function buttons
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Selecting directories to compare ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The directories to be compared are specified through the 'Select Directories'
- dialog which appears when you start the program. This dialog may be invoked any
- time through the 'Change Directory' button on the main window display. There
- are three radio buttons and an entry field on this dialog that allow you to
- filter the files to be compared. You may enter a file mask in the entry field
- to perform the first level of filtering. This mask can be any valid file mask
- that you would enter at a 'dir' command. Once PM Directory Enforcer has
- accumulated all files in the two directories that match the file mask, the
- radio buttons can be used to further filter those files:
-
- 'Show all' just uses all files that match the file mask.
-
- 'Show all mismatches' uses only files that match the file mask that are
- either in one directory, but not the other or are in both directories and
- are "different".
-
- 'Show all common mismatches' uses only files that match the file mask
- that exist in both directories and are "different".
-
- If you select the 'Compare by size' check box, the resultant comparison
- display will be based on the size of the files instead of the date and times.
-
- Note that you may also specify 2 directories as parameters to PM Directory
- Enforcer and bypass the initial directory selection dialog. A small command
- file called PMDE.cmd is provided to make command line start up easier.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Comparison results display ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- File comparisons are based upon date and time unless the 'Compare by size' box
- was checked on the directory selection dialog. The results of the comparison
- are shown in the middle column:
-
- '>>' means the file in the left side of the display is newer or larger
- than the one on the right.
-
- '<<' means the file in the right side of the display is newer or larger
- than the one on the left.
-
- A blank means the files' dates, times and sizes are equal.
-
- Note that PM Directory Enforcer does not compare the contents of the files
- themselves.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. Selecting files for manipulation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- You may manually select files in the list by selecting them with the mouse
- and/or using the 'Select' dialog accessible from the 'Select' button from the
- middle 'functions' button.
-
- Note that re-invoking the 'Select' dialog does not clear the current
- selections. This is so you may build file selections from multiple criteria.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4. File function buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- At the top of the main window are 3 columns of buttons. The first column
- applies to the files listed in the left side of the dislay. The third column
- applies to the files listed in the right side of the display.
-
- The Copy buttons mean copy these files to "the other side (directory)".
-
- The Functions buttons expand to a list of other available functions:
-
- Open uses the OS/2 workplace shell default program for the selected file
- type(s).
-
- Edit uses the editor specified in the 'Configuration' dialog.
-
- Move, unlike the OS/2 equivilant, will replace the target file with the source
- file. It will not replace a write protected file. The source file is deleted.
-
- Delete deletes the file. It will not delete a write protected file.
-
- Protect adds the read-only attribute to the file.
-
- Unprotect removes the read-only attribute from the file.
-
- Cancel closes the list of functions.
-
- These functions apply only to files selected in the list.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5. PM Directory Enforcer function buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The second (middle) column of buttons at the top of the main window apply to
- either both directories or to PM Directory Enforcer itself.
-
- The Change Directory button is used to specify which directories to compare.
-
- The Functions buttons expand to a list of other available functions:
-
- Select invokes the Selection dialog for performing logical file selections.
-
- Compare uses the comparison program specified in the 'Configuration' dialog to
- compare each selected file pair in the list.
-
- Configure invokes PM Directory Enforcer's Configuration dialog.
-
- Help invokes PM Directory Enforcer's online help (this).
-
- About invokes the product information dialog.
-
- Cancel closes the list of functions.
