Copying, Moving and Deleting Files
The most fundamental feature of a file manager is its ability to let you move
files around. Opus provides several ways to copy and move files from one folder
to another:
- Copy-and-paste: This is
the traditional method on Windows of moving files around using the clipboard.
- Drag-and-drop: Again,
fairly standard on Windows; using the mouse to drag files from one folder
to another.
- Toolbar
buttons: Several default toolbar buttons let you copy or move selected
files.
Other file copying-related features include:
- The copy queue function,
which lets you queue multiple file copy operations to avoid disk
thrashing or bandwidth contention.
- Files can be renamed as they are copied, either one at a time or
using wildcards.
- When filename collisions occur, the replace dialog lets you quickly choose what
you want to do.
- Powerful features for synchronizing the contents of two folders
(including remote FTP sites).
- A filtering system
that lets you selectively copy the contents of folders
Deleting files is also a
part of the basic file management tool set - Opus also provides a secure delete function to securely
erase data.
