Update May 2017
A May 2017 Microsft security update for Windows 10 conflicted with a major routine in FileBoss resulting in FileBoss not starting on some Windows 10 systems.
Versions V3.101 and later, fix the problem. You can read more about this at the page
Windows Creators Conflict.
Dynamic Virtual Folders
Dynamic Virtual Folders (DVF) provide an easy way to work with files and folders even when they have little or no relationship to each other on the file system or network.
Dynamic Virtual Folders are very much like traditional Virtual Folders except that you can add (just drag and drop), delete and manually sort entries. They can be created from selected entries, via a folder picker, empty or from a list of files contained in an external text file.
All of these are created using the commands on the File > New Dynamic Virtual Folder > menu.
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.)
