See section 7.1.1,

“Saving Files”, on page 7-2

for more information.

Table 3-2 File Browser Functions

Open Button

This button displays the selected file. When a file has been

opened, the

File button

is displayed in the

Device Toolbar

(see

“Device Toolbar Controls and Indicators”

for a description).

Only one file can be opened at any given time. When a file is open,

opening another file closes the file that is already opened and

displays the newly selected file.

Copy / Paste

Button

The copy and paste function is intended to be used to copy and

paste a file from one directory to another. Pasting a file in the same

directory as the source file does not create a duplicate (copy) file, it

overwrites the existing file.

The

Paste

button

is activated when Copy has been selected.

Cut

The cut function is used to move a file to a different location. When

a file is pasted in a new location the file is deleted from it’s previous

location.

Delete

This button deletes the selected file. A deleted file cannot be

restored.

Rename

This button opens a dialog window that is used to rename a file.
