Anyone who needs to manage multiple files across various folders has to use a file manager tool. A File Manager is a operating system application that is used to manage files [copy, delete, move,view etc], launch applications etc. Windows comes with its own built-in file manager called Windows Explorer. Ubuntu (Linux) has its own called Nautilus. However, I do not like either of them and prefer a two-panel view file manager like Total Commander for Windows and the Gnome Commander for Linux. The two panels offered by these file managers lets you look at two different folders from your computer (or elsewhere/network neighbourhood/ even remote ftp location) and perform file operations between them. Operations like Copy, Move, Touch, Delete etc can be performed and the results seen immediately in the two panels. File attribute filters can be specified optionally which permit only files of a certain kind, date, size, or attribute to be processed.
In CADPower V 13.07, a new command has been created called CP_FILEMAN which will allow some of these operations to be performed from within the CAD environment itself. CP_FILEMAN is a mini-file manager which throws up a simple, easy-to-understand dialog box which looks like this:
As you can see above, the CP_FILEMAN command is useful to Copy, Move, Delete, Touch or Count a bunch of files located within a single folder or a directory tree.In the good old days of DOS, we used the XCOPY command to perform these operations. Now, you can do pretty much the same using the CP_FILEMAN command in CADPower.
