The "Create shadow" menu item will create new "shadow" objects that
points to the currently selected objects and their contents.
A window will open that allows you to specify the
folder where the shadows
should be created. The window has several tabs to specify the
target folder in various ways.
Remarks:
- Creating a shadow does not copy an object. Instead, a shadow
is merely a pointer to the original object. See
"About shadows" for details.
- If the target folder is already open, you can create the
shadows more quickly by simply
dragging and dropping
the objects onto the target folder. Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys
while dragging to make sure the objects are not copied or moved.
- It is not recommended to create shadows for
program files. Instead,
create a program object.
