This will open the file import window. Use this window to indicate the location and format of the source plain text file that you wish to import and load it into the main window.
You can either import:
- A delimited list of old and new file names
- A list of new file names
- A list of new folder names
If you are importing a list of old and new file names, the names must be separated by some common character or string (delimiter).
A delimiter is a character or block of text, most commonly a tab character, that separates old and new file names. The delimiter will be the same throughout the file list.
If you are importing new file names only, these will be paired against files that currently exist.
If you are importing folder names, these folders will be created when you run the operation.
