Creating a thought with an existing file attached

 

Drag File to Create Thought

 

Activate the thought you want the new thought and its file linked to.

Open Windows Explorer or My Computer. (You can also drag files from the desktop.)

Find the file you want to attach to the thought.

Drag the file to the plex. Do not drop the file yet.

 

Notice that depending on which zone you drag the file over, a link extending from that zone's gate will form between the active thought and your pointer.

 

Drop the file into the desired zone. A new thought, named after the file, appears in that zone and the file's icon appears next to the new thought's name.

 

 

Drag File to Existing Thought

 

Create a child thought and name it in a way that will identify the file it will contain. An appropriate name will indicate the content of the file and need have nothing to do with the filename.

 

Activate the thought.

Open Windows Explorer or My Computer. (You can also drag files from the desktop.)

Find the file you want to attach to the active thought.

Drag the file directly onto the active thought until an icon appears next to your pointer.

Drop the file. It will be attached to the active thought and its icon will appear to the left of the thought's name.

 

Icons

 

The icon that appears next to a thought's name indicates the type of content attached to the thought.
