Device folders
What is a device folder?
In the Bluetooth Neighborhood main list view, you
can create device folders: folders containing a
number of remote devices. You can communicate
with a device folder as with any single remote
device. When doing so, you will be
communicating with all the devices in the folder at
the same time. You can for instance use this
feature to distribute objects or files to more than
one device at a time.
How to create a device folder:
1. Open the Bluetooth Neighborhood main
window.
2. On the Bluetooth menu, click Create New
Device Folder.
A new folder will appear in the list view:
The default name of the folder is New Folder.
However, you can rename the folder like any
Windows folder: Select the folder, click F2, and
type the new name.
3. Drag the remote devices you want to the
device folder. This is a standard Windows
drag-and-drop operation; to move a number of
remote devices at the same time, hold down
the CTRL key, click each remote device, and
then drag the selected remote devices to the
folder.
In the following example, two remote devices
have been selected and are being dragged to
a device folder named “Conference”.
You can create as many device folders as you
like, and you can include as many devices in each
folder as you like.
Communicating with a device folder is done in
exactly the same way as with a single remote
device. In the following example, a business card
is being dragged to the device folder named
“Conference”:
