files. (Eudora does not fill in the “Send To” submenu on the context menu.) When
selecting multiple items, use the Shift key to select a range of items, and use the Ctrl
key for disjoint selections.
The File List control shows these four columns:
■ Name—Displays the name of the file and the icon associated with the file.
■ Type—Based on the file name extension, displays the file type as set in the Options
dialog box of Windows Explorer.
■ Size—Displays the size of the file in kilobytes (K), where 1K = 1,024 bytes.
■ Modified—Displays the date and time that the file was last modified.
As in Windows Explorer, you can click any of the four column headings to sort the listing
by the data in that column.
You can also resize the widths of the columns by dragging the separator line between the
column heading labels. Position the pointer over the separator until you see a splitter
cursor, then drag the line to left or right.
In the File List control, double-click an item in the Name column, or select one or more
items in the column and press Enter to open the selected items. For program files, this
action launches the program. For document files, this action generally launches the regis-
tered viewing or editing application for that document. Eudora displays an error dialog box
if it is unable to open a file in this way.
To adjust the relative heights of the Folder Browser and File List controls, position the
pointer over the separator bar between the Folder Browser and File List controls until the
splitter cursor appears, then click and drag the separator up or down. Note that the File
Browser window maintains a minimum height for the Folder Browser and File List controls,
so you cannot close them all the way.
To manually refresh the File Browser window display, right-click anywhere in the File
Browser window but not on a Folder Browser item or File List item, then choose “Refresh”
from the drop-down context menu.
Tip. A good place to right-click is in the Drive Selector box. Alternately, press the F5 key
while keyboard focus is in the File Browser window.
You can select one or more files in the File List control and drag them to a message
composition window to attach those files to that outgoing message. This is especially
handy if you keep the File Browser window docked and open. For multiple file selections,
use the Shift key to select a range, and use the Ctrl key to make disjoint selections.
You can also select one or more items in the File List control and drag them to another
application that can receive such files.
In general, the File Browser window lets you drag items out of the window (copying them
rather than moving them), but the window is not a proper drop target; you cannot drop
items into the window that you’ve dragged from elsewhere on your desktop. In particular,
you cannot move files by dragging them to a target folder in the Folder Browser control.
You also cannot drag and drop items within the File Browser window (from one control to
another, for example). You can, however, manage the files and folders in the window using
