Folder selection
Selecting a different top level folder reveals
the subfolders within, and the “next take
increment” display will change to reflect the
next take increment for that folder.
Deleting folders
In order to delete folders, [Safe disable] must
be on in the main preferences menu [setup]
[prefs] and the folders cannot have takes
(files) in them.
To delete, touch the red “x” and slide the
slider to the arrow. The “x” will not be visible
if safe mode is on.
An empty folder is indicated by “take 1”
displayed as the next take.
Renaming folders
Folder renaming is invoked by touching the
folder name.
[Safe disable] must be on in the main prefer-
ences menu [setup][prefs] for folder renam-
ing to be enabled, and the folders cannot
have takes (files) in them.
The keyboard allows only the valid charac-
ters allowed in Windows file names.
