Collection Manager

File Client - Server

File Client - Server
The Filetopia's Client is also known as the Collection Manager, as this is the main component of the program.  All the others components are designed to work for or around this one.

This is where you can manage all your collection files,  compare it with other collections and customize your list.  It has a plethora of functionality:

  1. Selection functions: by Path, Name, Type, etc.
  2. Hot Files and Ignore Files
  3. Sorting by any field
  4. Comparing with any open list or disk list
  5. Comparing automatically with a master List
  6. Disk files management: Copy, Move, Delete
  7. Exact Duplicate Analisis using CRC
  8. Combining Lists
  9. Adding files from one list to another
  10. Downloading / Uploading files in the List
  11. Etc

The List Window uses tabs to hold information about a List.  Initially only 2 tabs show: the Files List itself and the Properties tab, that shows properties about the list.  After a Compare is run, two new tabs appear: the 'Missing Tab' that shows all files missing from the List in the compared-to list,  and the 'Missed Tab' that shows all files that exist in the compare-to list and not in the List.  If this List belong to another user and this users grants us access to his server, then two new tabs appear: the 'Download tab' that shows all files being downloaded from the remote's user File Server and the 'Upload tab' that shows the files we are sending to the remote user.

So many tabs might seem complicated at first, but it is a great way to centralize everything related to a certain List and once used to it, it is very simple and easy to use.
