Shortcut 2000 Editor Owner's Manual
Pressing E
RASE
will result in files from the source directory overwriting files in the target
directory.
The files that are overwritten will be permanently erased
. Pressing E
NTER
will
cause the copy not to be performed if there is a file with the same name in the target directory.
Upon pressing E
NTER
or E
RASE
the Copy operation will begin immediately. Pressing
E
XIT
will stop the operation in progress. As the Copy operation progresses, the name of the file
being copied and status on whether the file is copying or being skipped is displayed. When the
operation is finished, a report of the number of files copied and the number of files skipped is
displayed.
Copy operations do not copy Hot-Key assignments.
Export Files to DigiCart/II Plus or Instant Replay
You can use Shortcut to create Zip
disks for playback in DigiCart/II Plus or Instant
Replay 2.0 with an external Zip drive.
Always use Zip 100 disks for Digicart II Plus
, even if
you have a Zip 250 drive.
Select a file (in the Files display) or directory (in the Directories display) in the
Shortcut’s Internal drive. Press M
ENU
and select item 8
EXPORT FILE TO DIGICART DISK
or EXPORT DIRECTORY TO DIGICART DISK.
The display asks for the directory and index number to put the exported file(s) in. The
first of the four numbers represents the directory number, the last three digits are the index
number. If you are Exporting a directory the index number you enter will be the first index
number used. Other higher numbered indexes will be assigned to other files transferred from
the directory. If you are creating a new disk these numbers don’t matter too much, just use
0.000. Note that for use in an Instant Replay 2.0, the directory number
must
be 0. For more
information on Index numbers, see the manuals for DigiCart/II Plus and Instant Replay 2.0.
Next you will be asked if you want to replace files in occupied index numbers in the
DigiCart disk, or use the next unused index number. Pressing E
RASE
causes any file occupying
the specified Index number to be overwritten. In the case of a directory transfer, it will
overwrite any indexes it encounters from the specified index to the number of indexes it needs
to accomodate all files in the directory.
Files that are overwritten are permanently erased
Pressing E
NTER
leaves existing files on the disk and places the Exported file(s) in the next
available unused index number. If in doubt, use E
NTER
.
You will be prompted to insert a DigiCart disk into the External Drive. You are given
the opportunity to first Format the disk you insert by pressing E
RASE
. This operation creates a
DigiCart/II Plus format disk; the resulting disk will not be readable on the Shortcut.
