15.6 Opening Files using File Manager.
The Directory option in the File Manager allows you to open files using the Media Player,
KeyWord, KeyWeb and KeyBook.
A file name will be displayed after ENTER is pressed, and File Manager will open the file in the
correct application if the file type is recognized. File Manager recognizes the file type from the
extension, for example, if it is Greensleeves.mp3, File Manager knows to open the file in the Media
Player. The file types, .wav, .wma, and .m3u, will also be opened in the Media Player.
The file types that can be opened in KeyWord include .brf, .txt, .rtf, .doc, KeyWord text and Braille
files. For KeyWeb, the files .html/.htm and url (shortcut) are recognized by the File Manager.
15.7 Changing the Order of File Lists.
In a list of files, you can change the order in which files are listed. Files can be ordered by name,
date, type or size. For example, let us consider the file, Board of Trustees Report.doc which was last
modified on Friday 5 May 2006 and is 27 KB. The order can be changed so that this file is listed
before Salary Review.doc which was last modified on Friday 28 April 2006 and is 12 KB. Note that
you cannot change the order of folders or directories.
As you can see, file lists are arranged in alphabetical order when ordered by name, so that the
names of files appear from "A" at the top of the list to "Z" at the bottom of the list. Likewise, by
changing the date order, the dates that the files were last modified are listed from the most recently
modified to the least recently modified. You can order by type, for example, you can order all the
.doc files before all the .txt files in your list. The file size can also be organized from largest to
smallest. Ordering files by size is particularly useful when you realize that you are running out of
storage space and need to find and delete the largest file in your list of files.
To toggle between ordering the file lists by name, date, type or size of a file, press SPACE with V.
