If you know how to make a new project then you will understand how to edit one.
Choose Project - New in the main menu.
You will see the Project New and Edit screen.
Best is to follow the following sequence. A guide to create a new project:
- Choose the source.
In the source area you can select a DIRECTORY-item using the drive and directory boxes. Once you found a directory you want to copy you make sure it appears as an item to add and then you transfer this to your item-list clicking on the ADD-button.
If you made a mistake you can always remove an item from the list by standing on it in the list and using the special delete button (don't be afraid, it does not delete the item from your disc).
If you chose to add a source-item which is part of an already added item then the program whill notify you that this makes no sense.
- Choose a destination.
Select a destination root (obliged). For instance you choose the root of the drive, for instance 'd:'. You will see that automatically directories like SMDcopy_drive_C will be created (see also 'Running a project') in that root, during copy.
As destination root you can also select . This can be any directory (see also 'Options')! This is for people who do not have a special drive for this goal or for very frequent synchronizations.
Select also the kind of drive. This is not obliged. However it is handy for your reference if you have different kinds of destination drives. Also in the case of a CD-rom like destination you better select it so that the program knows it (see also 'Working with CDs')!!
- Check sizes (optional)
Only for your info you can check some things:
A) The size of the selected source files (contents of the folders)
B) The total number of folders in the selected folders
C) The free size on destination drive. A negative size means that you most probably will lack disk space if you run the project. In that case you better take another destination or free some space.
- Save.
Try to find a good name for your project. Call it for instance "my_empty_folders". Pushing the save button will create or overwrite the file "my_empty_folders.ond" in the projects directory (see options). If you choose to run the project immediately after editing then you can push "save and run". Hit "cancel" if you do not want to save the current editing.
If you want to re-edit the project, then just choose Project - Edit in the main menu, select the ond-file and you will see that the same screen as for a new project will appear, but with the previously saved info already filled in... .
