Folders
-------

Folders help keeping the Project Bin organized, structured, and easy to navigate. Folders can be nested and turned into :doc:`individual bins <project_bin_use_multiple_bins>`.

      Creating folders in the project bin
      
   You create a folder by clicking the |folder-new|\ :guilabel:`Create Folder` icon in the project bin toolbar.

   Alternatively, right-click on empty space in the project bin and select |folder-new|\ :guilabel:`Create Folder`.

   If you want to create a folder below an existing one, select that folder first.

   You can delete a folder by selecting the folder and clicking on the |edit-delete|\ :guilabel:`Delete Folder` icon, or by right-click on the folder and selecting |edit-delete|\ :guilabel:`Delete Folder`.

   :width: 351px

|rename|:
   Renames the folder. Keyboard shortcut is :kbd:`F2`. You can also just double-click the folder name in the bin

|open_new_bin|:
   Creates a new bin from the folder

|target_seq|:
   Check this if you want this folder to be target for new sequences

|target_audio|:
   Select this if you want this folder to receive all audio captures

|create_folder|:
   Creates a new folder. If nothing has been selected in the bin, a new folder is created at the bin level. If a folder has been selected, a new folder underneath the selected one is created.

|delete_folder|:
   Deletes the selected folder.

.. Note:: 
   Deleting an empty folder happens immediately without any are-you-sure? dialog. Only if there is content will there be a warning dialog window that you need to confirm or cancel.
