5.1.6 File Maintenance in the Browser

You can use Live's File Browsers for all of the le maintenance activities that you are familiar

with on your operating system.

Move les and folders by dragging and dropping, or by copying/cutting and pasting.

Copying, cutting and pasting can be done with either Edit menu commands or key-

board shortcuts. A le can be moved from one File Browser to another by dragging it

over the target Browser's button.

Rename les and folders using the Edit menu's Rename command or the

Ctrl

(PC) /

(Mac) shortcut. Cancel renaming with the

Esc

key.

Create folders by opening the context menu with (PC) /

Ctrl

(Mac), and then

selecting the Create Folder command.

Delete les and folders using the Edit menu's Delete command or your computer's

Delete

key. Deleting items within Live moves them to the system trash; if

necessary, you can recover items from the system trash via your computer's operating

system.
