Working with libraries
60 InfoMaker
For example, you can drag a library from the Tree view and drop it in the List
view to quickly display the objects the library contains in the List view. For
information about using drag and drop to copy or move items, see “Copying,
moving, and deleting objects” on page 63.
Using the pop-up menu
Like the other painters, the Library painter has a pop-up menu that provides
menu items that apply to the selected item in the Tree view or the List view. For
example, from a library’s pop-up menu, you can delete, search, optimize, print
the directory, set the library as the working (current) library, specify the objects
that display in that library, or display library properties. From an object’s
pop-up menu, you can edit (go to the painter), copy, move, or delete the object.
Controlling columns that display in the List view
You can control whether to display the last modification date, compilation date,
size, and comments (if a comment was created when an object or library was
created) in the List view.
❖ To control the display of columns in the List view:
1 Select Design>Options from the menu bar.
2 On the General tab page, select or clear these display items: Modification
Date, Compilation Date, Sizes, and Comments.
Selecting objects
In the List view, you can select one or more libraries or objects to act on.
❖ To select multiple entries:
• In the List view, use Ctrl+click (for individual entries) and Shift+click (for
a group of entries).
❖ To select all entries:
• In the List view, select an object and then click the Select All button on the
PainterBar.
