When you right-click an external folder in the Browse tab the following context menu items are available:

      New folder: invocation of this option displays the Create New External Folder dialog, which contains the following:

Folder name: set by default to ‘New folder’.  Provision of a name for the folder is mandatory, and it can be a maximum of 100 characters in length.

Create Folder: this button is disabled if Folder name is not provided.  Clicking it creates the folder as a subfolder within the folder at which New folder was invoked.  The new folder is selected automatically at the treeview.  If a folder with the same name already exists, a warning message displayed.

Cancel: clicking this button removes the dialog from display.  Note that clicking off the dialog has the same effect.

      Refresh

      Upload to Folder...: this option is only available if you have the File System - Upload File to External Storage functional permission.  Invocation displays the Select file to Upload Windows file system dialog.  You can select a file and initiate the upload process, which creates an Upload [filename] job and displays it in the My Jobs dialog (see that interface's documentation for full details of the job).

You can also upload multiple files to an external folder by selecting a *.zip file.

Following a successful file upload, you must manually refresh the external folder to view the uploaded file therein.

      Delete: this option is not available for root external folders.  Invocation of this option is protected by an ‘Are You Sure?’ dialog.  If you proceed, the folder in question is deleted.  If the folder contains file(s) or subfolder(s), a warning message is displayed and you cannot delete it.

When you right-click an external file in the Browse tab the following context menu items are available:

      View Information...: displays the external file’s details in the File Information Dialog.

      Download...: selecting this option displays the Download File To... Windows file system dialog.  You can specify a file name and location and click Save to initiate the download.  Doing so creates an External file download job and displays it in the My Jobs dialog (see that interface's documentation for full details of the job).  On successful completion, an Open Folder button is displayed; clicking it displays Windows Explorer, within which the file is selected.

      Copy to Folder...: selecting this option displays the Save [filename] as Asset... File System Dialog.  When you click Save, if the file does not already exist, a Save [filename] to [folder] job is created and displayed in the My Jobs dialog (see that interface's documentation for full details of the job).  If the file already exists, it is copied to the folder, with an incrementable integer appended to its name.

On the job’s successful completion, an Open Asset button is displayed, which, when clicked, displays the newly-created asset in the Asset Designer.  Note that the job will fail if you do not have permission to write to the selected RPI file system folder.
