File Bucket is a small app that will allow you to create a collection of
files from various folders and then perform various actions on those
files.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interface ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The application is divided into four panes:

1) The upper left pane shows all drives on your system.  Select one and
   that drive's folder tree will appear in the lower left pane.

2) The lower left pane is a typical folder tree.

3) The upper right pane shows the files in whatever folder you have
   highlighted in the tree.

4) The lower right pane is the "Bucket".  This is where you build your
   collection of files.

Operation ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) You add files to your bucket by using one of the five buttons.

    There are three buttons below the treeview:

    1) "Add folder's file to list"  This button will add the FILES contained
       in the currently selected folder to the bucket list.

    2) "Add folder & subfolder's files to list"  This button will add the
       FILES contained in the currently selected folder as well as its
       subfolders to the bucket list.

    3) "Add to list as a folder"  This button will add the currently selected
       folder to the bucket list.

    There are two buttons in the central area between the listviews:

    1) "Add selected to list"  This button will add items you've selected in
       the upper list to the lower bucket list.  Folders are added as folders
       and files are added as files.

    2) "Add all to list"  This button will add all selected items in the upper
       list to your bucket list.  This is simply a quicker way than having to
       select all the items first.

2) After you're done building your list, choose a destination directory by
   entering a path directly or by clicking the browse button.

3) Select one of the four methods.

    1) "Copy files"  This method will COPY all items in your bucket list
       to the destination directory specified in the Destination field.

    2) "Move files"  This method will MOVE all items in your bucket list
       to the destination directory specified in the Destination field.

    3) "Delete items to Recycle Bin"  This method will send all items in your
       bucket list to the Recycle Bin.

    4) "Create shortcuts to items"  This method will create shortcuts to all
       entries in your bucket list to the destination directory specified in
       the Destination field.
    
    5) "Save list with absolute paths"  This method will let you save your
       bucket list to a text file containing their absolute paths e.g.:

        c:\path\to\folder\file.txt

    6) "Save list with relative paths"  This method will let you save your
       bucket list to a text file containing their relative paths e.g.:

        \path\to\folder\file.txt

4) Finally, click the "Start" button to actually initiate the method you've
   chosen.

Miscellaneous -----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Up/Down buttons.  These buttons will allow you to arrange your bucket
   list in the order you want.  This can be helpful, for instance, if you're
   copying files to an MP3 player that plays files in the order they were
   copied.

2) Filter button.  This feature will allow you to create an unlimited number
   of file extension filters that restrict what is added to your bucket list.
   Set the filter of your choice BEFORE adding items to the bucket.  Leave it
   blank to allow all files.

3) An error log will be created if any files have problems being copied or
   moved.

4) You can import a text file using the "File, Import text file listing"
   option from the menu.  The file format needs to have one file or folder per
   line with their full paths only e.g.:

        c:\path\to\folder\file.txt
        c:\path\to\folder
