Use libraries to manage files in Windows7

In the Windows7 operating system, another new type of file management is provided, that is, managing files through a library. The following figure is a screenshot of the Library management interface.

This is a new and effective file management mode in the WINDOWS7 operating system. It looks similar to a folder. But there's a big difference. In this article, the author of this library file management method to do a more in-depth analysis and testing, to help you understand this new function.

First, the similarities and differences with the common folder.

From the above interface, we can see that the library seems to resemble the traditional folder more. Indeed, from a certain point of view, libraries and folders do have a lot in common. As with folders, you can include a variety of fader and files in the library, among other things. But it's essentially a lot different from folders. Files or subfolders that are saved in a folder are stored in the same place. The files stored in the library can be from corners. such as files that can be associated with a user's computer or from a mobile disk. Although this difference is relatively small, it is the most essential difference between the traditional folder and the library.

In fact, the library's management approach is much closer to shortcuts. Users can use a specific storage location for a relationship file or folder. Link them all to a library for management. In this case, you can see all the files the user needs to know in the library (as long as the user joins the files or folders in the library beforehand). Or, the object in the library is a snapshot of various folders and files, the library does not really store files, providing a more efficient way of management. If the user has some working documents are mainly on their own computer on the D disk and mobile hard disk. For the convenience of later work, the user can put the D disk and the files in the mobile hard disk into the library. When you need to use, just open the library directly (provided that the mobile hard disk has been connected to the user host), without the need to navigate to the mobile hard disk.

Second, after deletion is not able to rejoin is a loophole?

As shown above, the author first put a folder on the hard disk WinXP, add to this library. The way to add a folder to a library is simple, just select the destination folder, click and click "Include in the Library". But the author in the test, but found an organ problem. If you add this folder to the library, then delete the WinXP folder in the library. Then, add the folder to the library again. But at this point the system prompts "already WinXP included in the library" and does not display this folder in the library. But in fact the WinXP file in the library has been deleted.

Then you can create a success by adding the file to the library in the case where the WinXP file exists in the library. Only the name of the library will become WinXP (2). This error is not caused by adding a folder to the library repeatedly. Because the test shows that the system allows the same folder to be added to the library multiple times. The reason for this error may be that there is a problem with the display in the library, and the folders that have been added to the library are not displayed properly due to some special operations (such as deleting and then adding).
