Dragging and Dropping a Folder onto the Workspace

You can drag and drop individual folders from File Manager onto the Workspace. When you drop the folder onto the workspace, it is opened, and the contents of the folder are displayed in a new window. If you switch frequently between directories, you can use this feature to display the contents of more than one folder at a time.

To drag and drop a folder onto the workspace, follow these steps:

  1. Click SELECT on a folder to select it.

  2. Press SELECT and drag the folder onto the workspace background.

  3. Release SELECT.

    The window is opened, and the contents displayed, as shown in the example in Figure 2-19.
