Personal -> Files
The Files secondary section in I-system is as a storage space for your personal files. You can upload files from any computer that can connect to I-system. You can also create subdirectories and edit Mpeg Layer 3 (mp3) ID3-tags and text files like HTML-documents.
There are two views in the Files: directory view and three kinds of editing views.
Directory view
This is the view that you see when you enter the Files. You can see the directory path on the left under the Files text. You can click any of the folders' names in the directory path to view their contents. There are some statistics about your current directory under the file listing.
Columns:
- The first column from the left is for icons that clarify the type of the object in the row.
Name - The complete filename or directory. This value is editable. Click the name of the file or directory to view or open it.
Size - The size of the file in bytes, kilobytes or megabytes whichever is appropriate.
Type - Assumed content of the file. This feature only works in operating systems that have the File command (unix, linux).
Date & time - The date and time when the file was uploaded.
Description - Description of the file or directory. If the file is an mp3-file then the ID3-tag information of the song is also displayed (the ones that have been entered). This value is editable.
Actions - Any available action on the file or directory in the row is listed in this column.
Click the text to edit, delete a directory or edit, delete and view a file. The view link will most probably open up a popup window in your browser that let's you decide if you want to save the file to disk or open it with some program.
