As explained earlier, this dialog helps you to become efficient in:
- creating a sub-directory, especially if you want to create topic root directories
- creating Internet shortcuts
To create a topic root directory or any sub-directory:
The method described below is the long one where you want to have a detailed control of the process, if AutoApply is toggled ON, you skip the steps identified by the X label. Before creating a sub-directory, verify that you have selected the proper space-handling scheme and that all the character-replacement policies you wanted are there, and none else.
To create a sub-directory:
- Drag a directory icon to the Base Directory label; its absolute path will be displayed on that label. You may also use the Choose.. button instead.
- Select a text segment from a text source (ex. your Web browser content) and copy it into the system clipboard (usually by doing a CTRL-C key combination)
- Paste the system clipboard into the Pasted-Text text field (the use of the Paste Text button is the most convenient method)

Edit the text contained in the text field if it is necessary; usually, it is not

Click the Create Dir button
A sub-directory is created inside the directory identified in the Base Directory label; its name is from the text displayed in the Policy-Adjusted Text label.
To create an Internet shortcut:
Before creating an Internet shortcut file, verify that you have selected the proper space-handling scheme, and that all the character-replacement policies that you wanted are there, and none else. These policies and the scheme will determine the exact name of the shortcut file.
To create an Internet shortcut

- Select a text segment that represents an URL from a text source (ex. the current page URL field of your Web browser) and copy it into the system clipboard (usually by doing a CTRL-C key combination)
- Paste the system clipboard content into the Pasted-Text text field (the use of the Paste Text button is the most convenient method)
- Edit the text contained in the text field if it is necessary; usually, it is not
- Click the Set button; you should see the adjusted text in the Policy-Adjusted Text field
Note: You can re-edit as in step 4 then click the Set button again
- Click the Create Shortcut button
An Internet shortcut file is created inside the directory identified in the Base Directory label; its shortcut file name is from the text displayed in the Policy-Adjusted Text label.
