- Folders Program
- Version 2.1
- (c)Copyrigh 1991 Sloop Software
-
- The folders program adds depth to the Program Manager groups. It gives the
- ability equivalent to having groups within groups. Each folder can hold
- any type of file you decide to place in it, including more folders.
-
- Features include:
- - Add any type of item to a folder
- - Move or copy items from folder to folder
- - Launch your applications directly from a folder
- - Customizable command lines for any item
- - Icon representation of items in folder
- - Tie two or more folders to the same subfolder
- - No limit on nesting folders within folders
-
-
- Changes from Version 2.0
-
- - Only one copy of a particular folder may now be open at a time.
- Double-clicking on the folder icon or using the Open command on a
- folder already open will make the folder selected the active window,
- even if iconized. It will not reopen the folder.
-
- - Group level folders are now created so their icon may be changed by
- simply going to the Change Icon menu of the Properties command and
- selecting View Next. Previously, it was necessary to replace the
- file name in the Change Icon dialog with FOLDERS.EXE.
-
- - Subfolders will now always appear starting in the lower-left hand
- corner of the folder.
