Creating and Opening DigiBase Browser Folders

DigiBase browsers let you create and manipulate folders (file system sub-directories). All folders have Expand/Collapse icons to show their contents. Dragging items onto a folder icon is the same as dragging into an open DigiBase browser.

To create a new folder in a Volume browser or Catalog:

1 Choose New Folder from the Browser menu.

2 Type a name for the folder, and click OK. (Click Cancel to cancel the new folder.)

In Volume browsers, the folder is created on disk. In Catalogs, the folder is created in the Catalog only. The Items List updates as new items are added.

To open a folder in the current DigiBase browser:

Double-click the folder, or click the Expand/Collapse icon for the item.

With a browser in the foreground and the folder selected, press Command+Down Arrow key (Mac) or Control+Down Arrow key (Windows) to open a folder in the current DigiBase browser.

To create and open a folder in its own new DigiBase browser:

Command-double-click (Mac) or Control-double-click (Windows) the folder. The previous (parent) DigiBase browsers window remains open.

With a browser in the foreground and the folder selected, press Control+Alt+Down Arrow key (Windows) or Command+Option+Down Arrow key (Mac) to open a folder in its own new browser.
