To edit an existing File Section choose the “Open” command from the File menu and select the File Section you wish to modify. Once opened, you will be presented with a window containing a scrolling list on the left consisting of 2 fields, the first field containing the filenames and the second a user selectable field defaulting to the file size in bytes. The right side of tidE’s window contains the editable fields available for the currently selected file (highlighted in the list on the left). tidE allows easy navigation through the File Section by use of the scrolling list. A File Section entry can be selected with the mouse or by use of the Up/Down Arrow key sequence. Most fields can be edited in the main window through the use of standard Text Edit boxes, but the description field can only be edited by choosing the “Modify Description” button which brings up a dialog containing the currently selected file’s description (double clicking on a specific file entry name in the scrolling list will also bring up the Modify Description dialog box as well as pressing Command-M). tidE’s Modify Description dialog box supports the use of the Edit menu’s Cut, Copy and Paste commands (Command key equivalents too). tidE supports multiple windows, which allows the user to edit multiple File Sections simultaneously. For example you can copy a file entry from one File Section to another by selecting the file, choosing Copy from the Edit menu (or Command-C), then bring the appropriate File Section window to the front and choose Paste from the Edit menu (or Command-V). Similarly, to copy a file entry from one File Section to another while marking the original file for deletion, simply choose Cut (or Command-X) from the Edit menu (instead of Copy), bring the appropriate File Section window to the front and choose Paste. The Check Disk Info button will verify (and correct if needed) the currently selected file’s path, size and type information. To append another File Section (not currently open) to the top most window - choose “Insert…” from the File menu and select the File Section to add to the end.
