Create Empty Virtual Folders 

Creating Virtual Folders Manually

To create and populate Virtual Folders by hand first create the empty Virtual folder and then drag and drop files and folders on the new Virtual Folder.

To make dragging and dropping easier put the new Virtual Folder in its own Tab group and then drag from an Explorer tab to the Virtual Folder as shown below.

To Create the Empty Virtual Folder

Press Alt+F, D, E

Or select File | New Dynamic File Set | Empty from the main menu

Adding More Files and Folders

After the DVF has been created you can drag and drop files and folders on to it and even sort the entries by dragging them up and down.

When you drop new objects on a Virtual Folder be sure to drop them on empty space or over a file. If you drop objects over a folder they will be copied to that folder rather than added to the virtual folder.

The easiest way to do this is to put the Virtual Folder tab into a tab group by itself and then use an explore view to drag files and folders to it. (Note that in the pictures below the Tab Group for Dynamic virtual folder has been moved to the left to make everything easier at this small size. To adjust the positions of the tab groups just put the cursor over the wide bar between them, click and hold the left mouse button and drag right or left to the new position.)
