Virtual Folders

You can create complex overlay definitions in the Virtual Folders screen that you can reach from the sidebar.

You can combine multiple different Base Folders and Base Files into one Virtual Folder that behaves as a single directory. The virtual folder contains the underlying files and sub-directories from all sources and the built-in file browser shows all source-files and -folders.

Editor

In the top section, you can change the host name that represents the root folder and choose if you want generally want to make the host active. Because the host definition is synced to your other devices, you can choose on each device, if you want to enable the host on that devide. You would not do that on devices, where the base folders are not available that are used in the definition.

In the Mounted Folders section, you list base folders and specify, how they should be mounted.

In the *Mounted Files section, you list base files and specify where they should be mounted.

Mounted folders

For a mounted folder

• choose a base folder,
• optionally choose a sub-folder of the base folder,
• choose where that sub-folder or base folder should be mounted within the host,
• choose, if you want to allow the sub-folder or base-folder to be used for folder mirroring (see annotations feature)

Mounted files

You can add mounted files interactively by choosing a Base File and typing in the mount path within the host. Or you can edit the list of mounted files in a spreadsheet application and import the definitions textually.

In both cases, if you omit the mount point, if is assumed to be the same as the base file’s reference name.
