selected in the file type drop-down (lower-right corner of the dialog).

3.
The files included in the selected *.ftl file are added to the File Transfer dialog.
Smart Transfer (for TPDesign4 files)
Smart Transfer automatically optimizes the transfer by identifying the various components (fonts, bitmaps, sound files,
even pages and popup pages) of the selected TPDesign4 panel file (*.tp4), and comparing them to the elements already
present on the target panel. Any shared components are not sent, resulting in a much faster transfer (assuming that there
are shared components).
To enable Smart Transfer for TP4 files:
1.
In the File Transfer dialog, select a TP4 file and click the Edit command button to access the Edit sub-menu.
2.
Select Options to open the TP4 Transfer Options dialog (FIG. 236).
