Basic Disk Mode
File List Dialog
• Left/Right cursor double-press: Select All Files
• Up/Down cursor double-press: Clear All Selections
Pressing either the Left or Right cursor individually performs a separate function for finding
directories, described below. You can select multiple files only within a single directory.
Changing directories clears any selections.
Once you have selected one or more files, press OK to perform the disk function (in this
example, Load) on all files marked with an asterisk, regardless of whether they’re visible in the
display. If there are no files marked with an asterisk, the function operates only on the
highlighted file.
The Root soft button returns you to the top-level directory. If the display is already at the root
directory (as indicated by the Dir field on the top line of the display) the only effect of pressing
Root will be to reset the file index to1 if there are files in the directory.
The Parent soft button moves you up one level in the directory hierarchy. If the display is
already at the root directory, this button has no effect.
The Open soft button performs a different operation depending on the disk function and the
type of the currently highlighted file or directory (or selected files). In all disk functions,
pressing Open on a directory—indicated by (dir) after the filename—will open that directory
and display its file list.
When you first open a directory for viewing, the index is 1 (the first file in the list). The K2661
remembers the index of the previous directory you were in before you pressed Open, so if you
return to that directory by pressing Parent, the index changes accordingly. This index is
remembered for one level down, and therefore is useful when stepping through a list of
subdirectories from a single directory level.
In the Load function, pressing Open for a standard .K26 file will start the Load Object feature.
This allows selected individual objects from the file to be loaded into the K2661. If Open is
pressed on a macro file (.MAC extension), then individual file entries within a macro file can be
selected for loading.
For all other functions, if Open is pressed when a .K26 or a .MAC file is highlighted, the object
file or the macro file will be opened for viewing. For example, pressing Open on a .K26 file while
in the Delete function will display the objects within the file in a scrollable list, however no
delete action will be possible on the individual objects.
Pressing the OK soft button will cause the K2661 to proceed with the selected function. After
pressing OK, there may be further dialogs such as bank specification (for the Load function),
confirmation (for Delete), or name entry (for Rename). One exception to this is in the Load
function; when a directory is highlighted, pressing OK is the same as pressing Open (it displays
the contents of the highlighted directory).
The Cancel soft button exits the file list dialog, completing the disk function with or without any
operation taking place. The K2661 returns to the Disk-mode page. Pressing the Exit button will
do the same thing as Cancel.
Total
The total size of all the files in the directory is indicated at the bottom left of the file display
above the soft buttons. This total represents only the disk space used by the files in the
directory being viewed. The K2661 includes a free space utility that indicates how much space is
being used on the current disk. Also, there is a List utility that can be used to calculate the size of
all files within a selected directory subtree.
