This help part shows, how to copy, move or delete files
Copy files
After selecting the files, you want to copy, you have to copy them to the
FileCommander clipboard first. You can do this by ether clicking right on them and
select Copy or pressing Ctrl + C. Every selected file is now stored in the
FileCommander clipboard.
Note: the FileCommder clipboard is not the same as the
Windows® Clipboard. If you copy any file to the FileCommander clipboard, you will not
override the Windows® Clipboard.
After that, you can Paste them to the destination folder. This can be done by ether
clicking right in the destination folder and selecting Paste or pressing Ctrl + V.
The copy window will appear and the files will be copied to the destination.
Move files
Moving files is not the same as the Windows® commands.
After selecting the files, you want to move, you have to copy them to the
FileCommander clipboard first. You can do this by ether clicking right on them and
select Copy or pressing Ctrl + C. Every selected file is now stored in the
FileCommander clipboard.
After that, you can Move them to the destination folder. This can be done by
clicking right in the destination folder and selecting Move.
The copy window will appear and the files will be moved to the destination.
Note: I made this function for one reason:
You can first select the files, you want to move and decide later, if you want to
copy them or if you want to move them to the destination. The following example
is now possible:
- you copy some files to the clipboard
- you paste these files to any destination
- you can now move them to any other destination without selecting them again.
Delete files
First of all, you have to select the files you want to delete.
After that, you can ether click right on them and press Delete or
click on Del.
