Copying and Moving Files and Folders
By using the unique ARCHOS
™
double browser system, you can copy or move fi les from one location in the fi le
structure to another (1000 fi les per folder maximum). The double browser can be used in:
Photo View The left panel is the connected USB device (ex: digital camera or hard drive) and the right panel the Gmini
™
500 hard
drive contents.
Music View The left browser is the Gmini
™
500 hard drive contents and right browser the music Playlist.
Browser View Two panels to browse two different parts of the Gmini
™
500 hard drive.
In the Browser mode, you can jump between the two panels using the Focus on the left/right panel
action icon. Where the cursor is highlighting a fi le or folder, that panel is the source for the copy. The
destination folder will be the other panel. For example, we want to copy the fi le Project info.doc from
the Gmini
™
500/Data/Files from Work folder to the Gmini
™
500/Data/Completed projects folder. We
must start from the main screen Browser mode.

action buttons, move to the right pane.
