[frs] Creating a folder to current directory - not so easy?

Post by posssu » Mon Feb 09, 2009 12:13 am

Where does one have to click to create an empty folder into current directory in Live's browser? When I right-click on a folder and hit Create folder, it gets created inside the folder I clicked. This if of course acceptable, but then I can't find any position where I should click to create a folder into the CURRENT directory.

Of course if the directory isn't too full, there is empty space where I can click, but not if it's full of stuff.

let's say you want to create a folder in a folder called loops, which resides in a folder called samples, in a folder called live stuff, on a drive called audio, so your structure is
audio/live stuff/samples/loops.
if your directory is pointed at 'loops', scroll to the top, then you need to double click the 'parent directory' folder, which will take you one step up in the folder hierarchy ('samples'). now right click on "loops', and select 'create folder'. 'loops' will open, with a new folder. when done, double click your 'loops' folder to bring it back down.

So there's really no way to create a folder to "current directory"? Seems a bit awkward...

Hi,

if you 'right click' on the empty space or on a file the new
folder is created in the current folder.

But what about when the directory is full of directories? There are no files nor empty space.

You're right, that is a problem. (But I found the following trick: you select two folders before right-clicking).

Hi,

I move this thread away as there is technically no bug.
