Best FileMan user guide

Our professional tool File Manager gives you full control over the file system. With the help of this utility you can browse your folders, copy, move, rename files and folders, view and send files via Infrared and bluetooth and much much more. File manager interface was designed to give you the maximum comfort combined with a maximum number of powerful functions. Pressing button shows available disks that you can select. Here you also can see brief disk information. On the left from disks button you can see the current path. Almost all FileMan operations can be performed on more that one file or folder. To select/deselect any item click on check box located near every item. On the bottom you can see the status pane that displays much useful information about the current item or selected items. Clicking on status pane invokes the properties dialog that displays the current path in full (and name if only one item is selected) and total size of selected item(s) (including size of folders) FileMan performs all operations in an asynchronous way. It allows you to see an operation progress and ability to cancel any operation safely without waiting to complete. Moreover, it handles all possible errors during the operation and takes appropriate actions. For example, if you are moving 10 files and one of the files is, say, read only it shows the error display that says that xxx.xxx is read only and offers you to stop the whole operation, to skip the current file only, to skip the file and the rest of the files that can have similar state or to retry the operation with the current file again.
