Quick Operations
Various shortcut operations can be performed on the path list filtered by Path Matching and File Attribute Filtering.
- Read-Only Operations
> Perform read-only operations on source path data without modification or deletion.
list: List matching paths.search: Search text file content.fdups: Find duplicate files.archive: Archive files.unarchive: Unarchive files.mirror: Incremental Sync.
- Read/Write Operations
> Perform modification or deletion operations on source path data (write operations take effect immediately).
replace: Text find and replace.rmdir: Delete empty directories.clean: Clean files.wipe: Secure File Erasure.
Note: All shortcut operations are selected and executed via button B3 in the diagram below.
T0GUI-Shortcut Operations

D. Output Results
T1GUI-list
