1. First step :

Before you run FileDeamon first, copy all fonts from "Necessary fonts" to your "Fonts" folder on system disk.

The preferred memory size (minimum and preferred) is set to 10 MB, this size is optimal for maximum resolution 1024*768, if you run FD on larger screen for example 1280*1024, than set memory size to 12 MB (better is 14 MB). If FD have not enough memory, than may crash in diferent ways.

2. How to use FileDeamon :

Many buttons have two function (COPY and COPY AS). Main function you can access if you click on the left half of the button. Second function is in the right half. If you will move cursor over button with multiple functions the button's text will be changed.

If FD is deactivate you can activate FD back in this ways:

All functions in FD works with selected items (files or/and folders) inside active list (has blue ring over).

Some functions like DELETE, RENAME .. works only with active list, but many others like COPY, MOVE .. works with both
example : COPY function copy selected items from active list (source) to passive list (destination).

If FD is in "Sleep" mode, you can click on the small window to wake up. For more information use balloons help.
