CHAPTER 3. USER INTERFACE
55
If there is already an element of that name, the pasted element will be renamed by appending a
number at the end of the name. Elements can also be moved instead of copied. This is done
with the cut/paste function.
select the files to cut | right-click one of the selected files | Cut (
the location to insert files into | Paste ( )
or select the files to cut | Ctrl + X (
+ V ( + V on Mac)
) | right-click
+ X on Mac) | select where to insert files | Ctrl
When you have cut the element, it disappears until you activate the paste function.
Move using drag and drop
Using drag and drop in the Navigation Area, as well as in general, is a four-step process:
click the element | click on the element again, and hold left mouse button | drag
the element to the desired location | let go of mouse button
This allows you to:
• Move elements between different projects and folders in the Project Tree
• Drag from the Navigation Area to the View Area: A new View is opened in an existing View
Area if the element is dragged from the Navigation Area and dropped next to the tab(s) in
that View Area.
• Drag from the View Area to the Navigation Area: The element, e.g. a sequence, alignment,
search report etc. is saved where it is dropped. If the element already exists, you are asked
whether you want to save a copy. You drag from the View Area by dragging the tab of the
desired element.
Use of drag and drop is supported throughout the program. Further description of the function is
found in connection with the relevant functions.
3.1.5
Change element names
This section describes two ways of changing the names of sequences in the Navigation Area. In
the first part, the sequences themselves are not changed - it's their representation that changes.
The second part describes how to change the name of the element.
Change how sequences are displayed
Sequence elements can be displayed in the Navigation Area with different types of information:
• Name (this is the default information to be shown).
• Accession (sequences downloaded from databases like GenBank have an accession
number).
• Species.
