Folders

Folders are used to organize information, for example contacts,
jotter entries, or task lists. You might want to organize your
contacts in business and personal folders.

Folders are also used when managing files of different types on
your P800 and Memory Stick Duo. You might want to move or
copy sound files into a sound track folder to store on a Memory
Stick Duo.

As you may notice if you connect your P800 to a PC and view
the contents of your P800 in

My P800

, it is easier to get an

overview of a folder and file structure on a large screen than on
a hand-held device. If you make it a habit to set up specific
folders to suit your needs and use them to categorize all your
information, working with it becomes easy.

Each application has its own set of folders. A folder created in
one application is not visible in another.

For each application there is a default

Unfiled

folder. Since there

is no way of seeing on your P800, if a file in an

Unfiled

folder is

located on your P800 or on a Memory Stick Duo, we
recommend that you move files to your own folders as soon as
possible.

Every item created in an application is always assigned to a
single folder, by default the same folder as displayed in the list
view.

In list view, the folder menu is used to organize your entries. In
detail view, the folder menu allows you to change the folder of
the current item.

Using the Folder Menu
In the applications that use folders you can see the folders menu
to the right in the menu bar.

When a Memory Stick Duo is available in the P800, the folders
on it are shown in the folders menu under the divider. If you
rename the disk (see“Renaming a Memory Stick Duo” on
page 27) the
divider will show the new name.

In list view, there is a super-folder called

All,

which, when

selected, displays items from all folders (in

Contacts

, the

All

folder does not display the entries in the SIM phone book).

All

is

the default value in list views and when an application is first
launched.

Use the

Edit Folders

menu item to:

Rename a folder, or move a folder to or from Memory Stick
Duo. Select the folder you want to move or rename, tap

Edit

,

type the name of the new folder, and choose a

Location
