Adding a Group

To add a group press the New Group button on RI-Group Specialist's main window.  This action will display the Add New Group dialog box.  Here you will type in the new group's file name and the title.  Normally, the file name you type in should have an extension of .grp. Example:

rigroups.grp

After typing in the file name and title press the OK button to create the group or press the Cancel button to cancel the operation.  You can also load an existing, unused group file by just typing in the name of the group file.  This file should reside in your windows directory.


Deleting a Group

To delete a group select the name of the group from the groups list box.  The name of the group will appear under the Destination Group label.  Press the Delete Group button.  The program will ask to confirm the deletion operation.  Use this option with caution.  You may not be able to recover a group that has been deleted!

Note: When there are two or more groups with the same title the program manager will delete the first one it finds.  To be more precise you may have to manually delete the desired group.


Add a Program Icon

To add a program icon:

1. From the Groups list select the group to add a program to.

2. Using the Drive and Directory list, navigate your way to the directory that has the program(s) you wish to add to the program manager.

3. Highlight the program in the program list you wish to add.

4. Enter the title you wish to appear with the icon in the Program Title field. This step is optional.

5. Press the Add Program button.

Using the mouse you can also double click on items in the program list that you want to add rather than pressing the Add Program button.


Delete an Icon

To delete one or more icons:

1. Select the group containing the icon(s) from the group list.

2. Press the Group Info button or double click on the group name in the group list.

3. Highlight the icon or program you want to remove from the group from the items list.

4. Press the Delete Item button.  You will be prompted to confirm the delete operation.

Note: When there are two or more icons in a group with the same title the program manager will delete the first one it finds.  To be more precise you may have to manually delete the desired icon(s).


View group and group item information

To view a group's program manager information highlight the desired group in the groups list and press the Group Info button or with the mouse double click on the group in the groups list.  This will display the Group Information dialog box.  From here you can also view group item information and delete items (icons) from the current group.

To view group item information highlight an entry in the items list and press the Details button or with the mouse double click on an entry in the items list.  The information will appear in the item's detailed section of the dialog box.

Removing an icon from the current group can be accomplished by selecting an entry from the items list and pressing the Delete Item button.  You will be asked to confirm the deletion operation.
