New Dynamic Virtual
Folders
From a Folder Picker
Creating Virtual Folders by Picking the Folders
A new Dynamic Virtual Folder (DVF) can be created by
picking the specific folders it should contain. And once
it has been created you can continue to add more items
to the DVF by drag and drop.
After the initial DVF has been created you can make dragging and dropping easier
by moving the new Virtual
Folder to its own Tab group and then drag from an
Explorer tab to the Virtual Folder as shown below.
To Create the Dynamic Virtual Folder
 Press
Alt+F, D, P
Or select File | New Dynamic File Set | Folder
Picker...
Using the Folder Picker
Use the Folder Picker to select one or more folders that
will initially populate the new Dynamic Virtual Folder.
You can select as many as you wish by checking the boxes
to the left of the folder names.
The folder picker will remember your selections even if
you close up the folder tree or shift do a different section
of you system entirely.
If you would like the folder picker window to be taller
or wider simply move the cursor to the lower right corner,
click and hold the left mouse button and drag until the
window is the size you want.
Adding More Files and Folders
After the DVF has been created you can drag and drop
files and folders on to it and even sort the entries by
dragging them up and down.
When you drop new objects on a Virtual Folder be sure to
drop them on empty space or over a file. If you drop objects
over a folder they will be copied to that folder rather than
added to the virtual folder.
The easiest way to do this is to put the Virtual Folder
tab into a tab group by itself and then use an explore view
to drag files and folders to it. (Note that in the pictures
below the Tab Group for Dynamic virtual folder has been
moved to the left to make everything easier at this small
size. To adjust the positions of the tab groups just put the
cursor over the wide bar between them, click and hold the
left mouse button and drag right or left to the new
position.)
