<title>File Manager Functionality</title>
<para>The <application>Caja</application> file manager provides
a simple and integrated way to manage your files and applications. You can use the
file manager to do the following:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Create folders and documents</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Display your files and folders</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Search and manage your files</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Run scripts and launch applications</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Customize the appearance of files and folders</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Open special locations on your computer</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Write data to a CD or DVD</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Install and remove fonts</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The file manager lets you organize your files into folders. Folders can contain files and may also contain other folders. Using folders can help you find your files more easily.</para>
<para><application>Caja</application> also manages the desktop. The desktop
lies behind all other visible items on your screen. The desktop
is an active component of the way you use your computer.</para>
<para>Every user has a Home Folder. The Home Folder contains all of the user's files. The desktop is another
folder. The desktop contains special icons allowing easy access to the users Home Folder, Trash, and also removable media such as floppy disks, CDs and USB flashdrives.</para>
<para><application>Caja</application> is always running while you are using MATE. To open a new <application>Caja</application> window, double-click on an appropriate icon on the desktop such as <guimenuitem>Home</guimenuitem> or <guimenuitem>Computer</guimenuitem>, or choose an item from <link linkend="places-menu"><guimenuitem>Places</guimenuitem> menu</link> on the top panel.</para>
<para>In MATE many things are files, such as word processor documents, spreadsheets, photos, movies, and music.</para>

<sect2 id="caja-presentation">
<title>File Manager Presentation</title>
<para><application>Caja</application> provides two modes in which you can interact with your filesystem: spatial and browser mode. You may decide which method you prefer and set <application>Caja</application> to always use this by selecting (or deselecting) <guilabel>Always open in browser windows</guilabel> in the <guilabel>Behavior</guilabel> tab of the <xref linkend="caja-preferences"/>.</para>
<para>Spatial mode is the default in MATE, but your distributor, vendor, or system administrator may have configured <application>Caja</application> to use browser mode by default.</para>
<para>The following explains the difference between the two modes:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><!-- BROWSER -->
<term>Browser mode: browse your files and folders</term>
<listitem>
<para>The file manager window represents a browser, which can display any location. Opening a folder updates the current file manager window to show the contents of the new folder.</para>
<para>As well as the folder contents, the browser window displays a toolbar with common actions and locations, a location bar that shows the current location in the hierarchy of folders, and a sidebar that can hold different kinds of information.</para>
<para>In Browser Mode, you typically have fewer file manager windows open at a time. For more information on using browser mode see <xref linkend="caja-browser-mode"/>.</para>

</varlistentry><!-- SPATIAL -->
<varlistentry>
<term>Spatial mode: navigate your files and folders as objects </term>
<listitem>
<para>The file manager window represents a particular folder. Opening a folder opens the new window for that folder. Each time you open a particular folder, you will find its window displayed in the same place on the screen and the same size as the last time you viewed it (this is the reason for the name 'spatial mode').</para>
<para>Using spatial mode may lead to more open file manager windows on the screen. On the other hand, some users find that representing files and folders as though they were real physical objects with particular locations makes it easier to work with them.

<para>The following section describes how to browse your system using the <application>Caja</application> file manager when configured in spatial mode. In spatial mode, each <application>Caja</application> window corresponds to a single folder. When you open a folder its window appears at the same place on the screen as the last time you looked at it. This is the default behaviour in <application>Caja</application>.</para>
<para>For a comparison of browser mode and spatial mode, see <xref linkend="caja-presentation"/>.</para>
<sect2 id="goscaja-510">
<title>Spatial Windows</title>
<para>A new spatial window opens each time you open a folder. To open a folder, do one of the following:</para>

<para>In spatial mode each open <application>Caja</application> windows shows only one location. Selecting a second location will open a second <application>Caja</application> window. Because each location remembers the previous position on screen in which it was opened it allows you to easily recognize folders when many of them are open at once.</para>
<para>Some people consider spatial mode better, particularly for moving files or folders to different location, others find the number of open windows daunting. <xref linkend="goscaja-FIG-naut-spatial-many-open"/> shows an example of spatial browsing with many open locations.</para>

<para>Because spatial mode will fill your screen with <application>Caja</application> windows it is important to be able to reposition them effectively. By holding the <keycap>Alt</keycap> key and clicking anywhere within the bounds of a <application>Caja</application> window you may reposition it simply, instead of requiring that you reposition it by dragging its title bar.</para>

<title>Directories and File Systems</title>
<para>Linux and Unix file systems are organised in a hierarchical, tree-like structure. The highest level of the file system is the <filename>/</filename> or <emphasis>root directory</emphasis>. In the Unix and Linux design philosophy, everything is considered a file - including hard disks, partitions and removable media. This means that all files and directories (including other disks and partitions) exist under the root directory.
</para>
<para>For example, <filename>/home/jebediah/cheeses.odt</filename> shows the correct full path to the <filename>cheeses.odt</filename> file that exists in the <filename>jebediah</filename> directory which is under the <filename>home</filename> directory, which in turn, is under the root (<filename>/</filename>) directory.
</para>

<title>File Permissions</title>
<para>Permissions are settings assigned to each file and folder
that determine what type of access users can have to the file or folder. For example, you can determine whether other users can read and edit a file that belongs to you, or only have access to read it but not make changes to it.</para>
<para>Each file belongs to a particular user, and is associated with a group that the owner belongs to. The super user "root" has the ability to access any file on the system.</para>
<para>You can set permissions for three categories of users:</para>
<variablelist>

<para>The user that created the file or folder.</para>

<para>The file manager displays your files and folders as icons.

You can also add emblems to your file and folder icons. Such emblems appear in addition to the file icon and provide another means to manage your files. For example you can mark a file as important by adding an <guilabel>Important</guilabel> emblem to it, creating the following visual effect: </para>

The file manager can initiate various actions when removable media appear,

player for an audio CD). See <xref linkend="goscaja-61"/> for how to

<para>To <firstterm>mount</firstterm> media is to make the file
