Creating redirections


The redirection of entries can be accoplished in three different ways:


Drag&Drop by using the path list view
Popup menu of the right mouse button
Drag&Drop of the BeOS tracker folder

To view the path list activate/deactive the path list by using the popup menu of right mouse button (menu entry "Show Pathlist") or the checkbox "Show Pathlist" of the settings window can be activated. When the path list is shown, any existing path for the redirection can be selected. Hold the path with the left mouse button down and move the mouse cursor to a marked entry of file selection that will be redirected, then release the mouse button. The redirection path is now set in the colum "Redirect" of the file selection. The redirection is only set, if the line of the file selection is highlighted.

A second way to set a redirection is to use the popup menu of the right mouse button. To use the popup highlight the line of the file selection and activate the popup menu by using the right mouse button. By using the command "Redirect to" any existing path can be selected for redirection. After releasing the right mouse button, the colum "Redirect" shows the redirection.

A redirection can be set by using the folders of the BeOS tracker as well. Open the tracker window that includes the target folder for the redirection. Drag the folder with the left mouse button over the entry of the file selection that will be redirected. After releasing the left mouse button the colum "Redirect" shows the complete redirection path.


The type of entry for the redirection results in the following:


Kind Type of redirection
Backup the redirection is set for all sub-entries of the backup
Drive the redirection is set for all sub-entries of the drive
Directory the redirection is set for all sub-entries of the folder
File the redirection is only for the entry
Symlink the redirection is only for the entry
