| 81 | The Librarian Interface starts with the Gather view. To return to this view
|
|---|
| 82 | later, click the "Gather" tab directly below the menu bar.
|
|---|
| 83 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 84 | The two large areas titled "Workspace" and "Collection" are used to move files
|
|---|
| 85 | into your collection. They contain "file trees", graphical structures that
|
|---|
| 86 | represent files and folders.
|
|---|
| 87 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 88 | Select an item in the tree by clicking it. (There are other ways; see below.)
|
|---|
| 89 | Double-click a folder, or single-click the switch symbol beside it, to expand (or collapse)
|
|---|
| 90 | its contents. Double-click a file to open it using its associated application
|
|---|
| 91 | program (see <a href="fileassociations.htm#fileassociations">File Associations</a>).
|
|---|
| 92 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 93 | The Workspace file tree shows the sources of data available to the Librarian
|
|---|
| 94 | Interface -- the local file system (including disk and CD-ROM drives), the
|
|---|
| 95 | contents of existing Greenstone collections. You can copy and view these files
|
|---|
| 96 | but you cannot move, delete, or edit them. Navigate this space to find the
|
|---|
| 97 | files you want to include in the collection.
|
|---|
| 98 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 99 | The Collection file tree represents the contents of the collection so
|
|---|
| 100 | far. Initially, it is empty.
|
|---|
| 101 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 102 | You can resize the spaces by mousing over the grey bar that separates the trees
|
|---|
| 103 | (the shape of the pointer changes) and dragging.
|
|---|
| 104 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 105 | Beneath is the Status Area, which describes the state of the Librarian
|
|---|
| 106 | Interface: how many items are selected and what action is requested. It
|
|---|
| 107 | reports on the progress of actions that involve files, which can take some time
|
|---|
| 108 | to complete. The "Stop" button stops any action that is currently in progress.
|
|---|
| 109 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 110 | Two large buttons occupy the lower right corner of the screen. "New Folder", with a picture
|
|---|
| 111 | of a folder, creates new folders (see <a href="creatingfolders.htm#creatingfolders">Creating folders</a>).
|
|---|
| 112 | "Delete", with a garbage can, removes files. Clicking the Delete button will remove any selected files from the Collection file tree. Alternatively, files can be deleted by dragging them onto the Delete button.
|
|---|
| 113 | <p></p>

| 115 | <p style="text-align:justify"></p>
|
|---|
| 116 | To select several sequential items, select the first and then hold down [Shift]
|
|---|
| 117 | and click on the last -- the selection will encompass all intervening
|
|---|
| 118 | items. Select non-sequential files by holding down [Ctrl] while clicking. Use
|
|---|
| 119 | these two methods together to select groups of non-adjacent items.
|
|---|
| 120 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 121 | Certain folders -- such as the one containing your own web pages -- sometimes
|
|---|
| 122 | have special significance. The Librarian Interface can map such folders to
|
|---|
| 123 | the first level of the file tree. To do this, right-click the desired
|
|---|
| 124 | folder. Select "Map", and enter a name for the folder. To remove an item,
|
|---|
| 125 | right-click the mapped folder and select "Unmap Folder".
