Help for FileBoss V2 3 April 2008 Welcome! Welcome to FileBoss, the professional tool for managing your files and file system. Whether you're tired of the limitations of Windows Explorer and dual-pane file managers, need a heavy duty tool for working with thousands of files in controlled environments or just want a helpful and reliable friend when dealing with your files, FileBoss is for you. For Those Upgrading From Previous Versions To see all the new and improved features and updated functions see What's New. Help Guide & How To Do Everything FileBoss manipulates files and folders in so many ways even its authors sometimes forget how powerful it is. But this is not a problem with the Help Guide that can walk you through how to do anything. To display it simply press Ctrl+G or select Help | Show Help Guide from the main menu. For more see Help Guide. Searching FileBoss provides powerful yet simple ways to search for files all accessible from the Find menu. Files by name, Recently modified or created files, Files that haven't been modified during a specified time period, files containing text, files with long file / path names, by attributes, size and any combination of all those attributes. For more see Finding Files a Quick Overview. File Times File Times can be displayed in the traditional format or by age or calendar period. Normal By Age By Calendar For more see Display modes for File Times. Working with Search Results: Virtual Folders Virtual Folders - normally the result of a search - allow to utilize the full potential and power of FileBoss. And all the commands and routines you use to manipulate files and folders in Explore View work the same in Virtual Folders. For more on Virtual Folders and Explore View see the topic Two Views - One Engine. Sticky Select, Easily Select Multiple Files and Folders Sticky Select allows you to select many entries without accidentally losing any current selections. (It is a bit like constantly holding down the Ctrl key while clicking in other programs such as Windows Explorer.) Toggle Sticky Mode on and off with Select | Sticky Selections from the main menu. For more about Sticky Selections and the many other convenient ways to select the files and folders you want to work with see Selecting Files and Folders. The Command Bar The command is a power user's dream allowing quick entry of commands, file filters, hide commands, paths to go to and more. Just press F8 to display and go to the Command Bar. For all the details see Using the Command Bar. Drop Zones While Drop Zones are just a small part of FileBoss they are incredibly powerful. So much so that once you have used you may wonder how life could have been good before you found them. For more see Using Drop Zones
