The library advocates accessing files quickly by indexing and using search instead of traditional file path access. The created index does not copy the file to the library, but just creates a shortcut to the file. The original path of the file does not change, and the files in the library do not take up extra disk space. The files in the library are also automatically updated as the original files change. This greatly increases the efficiency of the work. When managing files scattered around every corner, we don't have to open their paths one by one. You just need to add it to the library.
First, the creation of the library
Open the resource manager, we will see the library in the navigation bar, you can either directly click the "New Library" in the upper left corner, or you can right click in the blank space on the right. In the menu that comes out, there is “New”. Give the library a name and create a new blank library. We didn't name it here, using the default name “New Library”.
Operation diagram of the new library Next, all we have to do is add files or folders scattered on different disks to the library. Right click on “New Library”. In the pop-up properties window, click “Include folder”, find the folder you want to add, select it, click “Include folder” Repeat this operation to add a lot of files to the library.
Now, open “New Library", we will find the folder just added, the library has been displayed, you can see that these files come from different locations.
This way, we will set up the index, of course, this index can be updated at any time, you can add or delete it yourself. To use them later, the resource manager can be opened a bit.
Second, library classification filter
Open the library, find the "arrangement" in the menu bar on the right, the drop-down menu provides four types of modification date, mark, type, name, help us to classify management file. Of course, if your library is large and complex, then the “Search” in the upper right corner will help you quickly locate the required files in the library.
Three, the sharing of the library
One of our own libraries, I want to share it with others. Open the library, right click on the library, and find “Share” in the menu. In the submenu, we have three choices: no sharing, sharing to the family group (you can give the family group read or even write permission), Share to specific users. Of course, this family group and users should first be in the LAN.
In turn, the shared files of the LAN, how to add to their own library, must first be set to offline properties. We can enter “<quo;network” in the “Search Programs and Files” menu in the Start menu, and click on the “Network” link in the search results to access the LAN directly. Find the folder you want to add to the library, right-click and select "Always offline available", after the setup is complete, you can add it just like adding a local folder.
The use of library functions is a different kind of scenery for windows7 system. It is helpful to understand the creation of libraries, master the management of libraries, familiar with the use of libraries, and to help users search files in the system or share system data. If you don't know the library yet, then act quickly.
