PowerFile Changer files and directory structure
When the PowerFile software is installed on the host PC, it creates a "PowerFile" folder. The
folder name will indicate the PowerFile Changer model number. This folder will be created
within the Program Files directory. The PowerFile Monitor software is also installed. This
software monitors and detects when Changers are connected to the host. (Refer to the
“PowerFile Monitor software” section of this guide.)
The first time the PowerFile Monitor detects a Changer on the host PC, an icon for the
Changer appears on the host PC desktop, and a master folder for that Changer is created
within the PowerFile directory. The first of these master folders will be named Changer 1, and
additional folders will be created and numbered sequentially for each additional Changer
connected to the host system.
The PowerFile Monitor software also identifies the drives within each of the Changers, (2
drives for dual drive models, 1 drive for single drive Changers) and those drives appear as
resources on that system.
Within each of these master Changer folders is a file structure that lists all of the discs in that
Changer as well as any subdirectories that the user creates (refer to the “Creating a new
subfolder” section of this guide).
