Device folders
What is a device folder?
In the Bluetooth Neighborhood main list view, you can create device folders: folders containing a number of remote devices. You can communicate with a device folder as with any single remote device. When doing so, you will be communicating with all the devices in the folder at the same time. This feature makes it easy to distribute objects and files to more than one device at a time.
How to create a device folder:
- Open the Bluetooth Neighborhood main window.
- On the Bluetooth menu, click Create New Device Folder.
A new folder will appear in the list view:
The default name of the folder is New Folder. However, you can rename the folder like any Windows folder by selecting it, clicking F2, and typing the name you want.
- Drag the remote devices you want to the device folder. This is a standard Windows drag-and-drop operation; to move a number of remote devices at the same time, hold down the CTRL key, click each remote device, and then drag the selected remote devices to the folder.
In the following example, two remote devices have been selected and are being dragged to a device folder named “Conference”.
You can create as many device folders as you like, and you can include as many devices in each folder as you like.
Communicating with a device folder is done in exactly the same way as with a single remote device. In the following example, a business card is being dragged to the device folder named “Conference”:
Each of the remote devices included in the device folder “Conference” will now receive the business card.
