(1) Notes on exporting path information to a CSV file (from the host)

When path information is output to the CSV file on the host, the CSV Output dialog box is displayed. Note the following when using the dialog box:

The toolbar items for List or Details at the top right part of the Export CSV dialog box do not function as alternate views. The files and folders in the list box are always displayed in List mode.

You cannot use the Delete key to delete the files and folders in the list box. If you want to delete them, use the command line.

When you want to open a displayed folder, double-click it. You cannot open a folder by selecting it and pressing the Space key.

When you add a new folder by using the toolbar item Create New Folder, the Export CSV dialog box creates the new folder in the bottom of the list box. If there are too many folders and files in the list box, the new folder cannot be displayed. If you want to display the new folder, scroll down the list.

In the list box, you can rename a folder or file by right-clicking it. If a folder or file is renamed, make sure that you confirm the change by pressing the Enter key. If you select another folder or file without confirming the renaming of the file or folder, the renaming is canceled.

Do not reduce the size of the Export CSV dialog box. If you reduce the size of the dialog box, the File of type text field and the File name pull-down list will become inaccessible.
