About. By pressing F8 you can create a temporary directory. This part of the document is about this feature.
Well, many times I’ve created a directory, not because I wanted to have one, but to use only the functionality of a directory. E.g. I have an archive and I want to unpack it just to see something, run some application from within the archive, etc. Or I want, just for a while, make a backup of some files, because I’m gonna change something and I want to have a backup copy. Or reorganizing some directory structure. In all these situations, a temporary directory is needed. The name of a directory doesn’t matter. Also, I don’t care where it is. I want just the functionality of a directory. The rest doesn’t matter. In AC you can create such a directory with one mouse click, or one keystroke. You can even simultaneously create one and copy\move there currently selected files\directories.
Creating. Press F8. A new window is created. Don’t bother about where the directory is. Simply use the window. You can open many such windows. You can close the window – don’t be worry that you will be not able to delete the directory later – it’s remembered by AC in a special list. Also you can quickly reopen it – command “edit” in “Commands \Temporary directories” menu.
When you are finished, I mean – with all the job in this session, simply choose the menu “Commands\Temporary directories\Delete all of this session” to delete all created temporary directories.
The general rules when creating a new directory applies to creating temporary directories. When you press F8 with CTRL down, currently selected files will be copied to the newly created temporary directory, when F8 with SHIFT down, files will be moved there.
The place where the temporary directories are created is C:\Program files\AC Browser\TmpDirs – if you keep AC in c:\program files, of course.
Generally AC Browser isn’t expected to be executed in a number of windows (many processes created). But if you do so, note that when you choose to delete temporary directories, only directories created in this session, in this process will be deleted.
