Organizing your work
To organize your fractal-related files, you can move, copy, delete, and rename files and entries in the browser. Again, the browser works similar to Windows Explorer, except that it also manipulates the entries in parameter files, gradient files, and formula files.
 |
To move a file, folder, or entry, select it in the list view, and click Cut on the Edit menu. Select the new location, and then click Paste on the Edit menu. | |
 |
To copy a file, folder, or entry, select it in the list view, and click Copy on the Edit menu. Select the new location, and then click Paste on the Edit menu. | |
 |
Click Paste on the Edit menu to move or copy an item that was previously cut or copied to the Clipboard. | |
 |
To delete a file, folder, or entry, select it in the list view, and click Delete on the Edit menu. | |
|
To rename a file, folder, or entry, select it in the list view and click it again, or click Rename on the Edit menu. |
These commands are also on the menu that pops up when you right-click an item in the list view or in the tree view. In this way, you can also move, copy, delete, and rename files and folders using the tree view.
Alternatively, you can drag items from one location to another to move them. Hold down Ctrl while dropping to copy the items instead.
Notes
- Items that are cut or copied to the Clipboard are not actually moved or copied until you use the Paste command.
- Deleting a file, entry, or folder will delete it immediately. It will not be moved to the Recycle Bin.
