Both Virtual Folder Definitions (the
information in the Find dialog) and Virtual Folders themselves
(the entries in a Virtual Folder) can be saved and used again.
In addition to the methods below, FileBoss will reload any
Virtual Folders that was open when FileBoss last closed. (Just as it will
reload and Explore Views that were open.) But you can modify this
behavior using the Options | Program Options... command from the main menu
and selecting the Startup Options panel. From there you can tell
what type of Windows to reopen and how they should be reopened.
Save the definition as a Template
Templates save definitions by name
can be saved in the Collect Virtual Folder dialog. Once saved they can be
used from that same dialog; selected from the File | Open Virtual
Folder > list at the main menu or from the drop down list
associated with the down arrow next to the command button for
creating new Virtual Folders.
Save the Virtual Folder as a definition file
Save the Virtual Folder and all its entries
Any Virtual Folder can be saved as either a
definitions file (a template that is save to disk) or as a
complete Virtual Folder including all the entries. Whenever you
first save a Virtual Folder FileBoss will ask you which way you
want it saved can explicitly save in one form or the other
using direct commands from the File menu.
These files can then be opened using the
File | Open command, as command line arguments when
starting FileBoss or dropped on the program once it is open.
Save all open windows as a group
Virtual Folders can also be saved when you use the
File | Save Current Window List command which will save all
open Views, both Explore and Virtual Folder, to one file. This file
can be opened later and all the Views will be recreated.
