Information on the Selected Files to be Copied

 

Source Files

For easy reference this area displays information about the selected files that FileBoss will attempt to copy, move or update.

Top Level:

The Top Level  section shows how many folders and files will be copied directly to the destination folder. All other folders and files will be copied below one of the top level folders (or sub-folders of a top level folder)

Destination for the Copy / Move Operation

Destination

Displays the folder to which the selected files will be copied/moved.

The list of previous destination folders - accessed by clicking the down arrow to the right - is remembered even when FileBoss is closed.

To change folders you can:

select one from the drop-down list
type in a new path, or
select the Browse button to locate the folder you want.

The number above the destination folder is the amount of free space on the selected folder's drive or storage media.

Do it your way:

Don't like the list of destination folders in the drop down list? Want to delete some of them or change their order for some reason? Simple. Just hold down the Alt key and click on the word Destination. A dialog will open where you can edit the list of entries.
