6.2 Using CDE File Manager
6.2.4 Creating new folders and files
Creating New Folders
When the New Folder option is chosen, a separate window is displayed where you can enter the new folder name. Enter the name of the new folder or directory and be sure to follow the directory naming conventions covered earlier. Once the name has been applied, you have the choice of left clicking either OK or Apply.

Clicking OK adds the new folder with the name you just typed and closes the New Folder window. Clicking Apply adds the new folder and keeps the New Folder window on the screen display, ready for you to type in the name of another new folder. Figure shows the newly created Projects folder.

If you want to create several new directories, click Apply for all new folder names except the last. When the last folder name has been typed, click OK to remove the New Folder window.

Note - When you click Apply, the name is retained in the typing area of the New Folder window. You must remove the previous folder name using the Backspace key or the equivalent mouse action.

Creating New Files
As with the New Folder option, a window will be displayed in which you must type the name of the file to be created . If you click OK, the file will be created, with the name you typed, and the New File window will close. However, if you click Apply, the file will be created and the New File window will stay on the screen so you can create another new file. By clicking Apply after each file name has been typed, you can add several new files from the same New File window. Figure shows the newly created New File.

If you attempt to create a folder or file with the same name as an existing folder or file, the File Manipulation Error window will notify you. Click OK, then type an alternative name for the folder or file that is to be created.
