Contextual Menu while in the Double Browser
By using the unique Archos double browser system, you can copy
or move files from one location in the file structure to another
(caution: there is a limit of 1000 files per folder). While in the
Browser mode, you simply click the RIGHT button and a second
browser window will open. You can jump between the two
windows using the LEFT/RIGHT buttons. Wherever the cursor is highlighting a file or folder, that
window is the source for the copy. The destination folder will be the other window. Once you
have decided on the destination folder, move to the source browser window, highlight the file to
copy, and then click on the MENU button. You can now choose
Copy file to copy the highlighted file, Copy All Files to copy all the
files in that folder to the destination folder, or Move File to move it
to the destination folder.
