The BVD Import operation differs between the drag and drop and menu operations.

BVD Import by Drag and Drop

1

Select a BVD file 

 in Windows.

•

Multiple BVD files can be selected and imported.

2

Drag and drop the file into the folder in the SV-Manager's Hierarchical Display Area or 
the File Detail Area.

•

The pointer changes from 

 to 

 when the file can be dropped. The pointer changes 

to 

 when the file cannot be dropped.

¨

The [BVD Import] dialog displays.

•

When a file with the same name already exists in the BVD export location, the 
[Confirm File Overwrite] dialog appears.

•

When a unit-specific file with a long name is exported to a BVD file, the name is 
shortened to 20 characters or less.

•

If characters that cannot be used in Windows file names exist in the unit-specific file 
or folder name, these characters are deleted and the file name is shortened. If all 
the characters are deleted, the file is renamed as a BVD file name, "newfile.bvd".

•

If a unit-specified file with a content source file extension (.pdf, .xls, etc.) is exported 
to a BVD file, the BVD file is created with a file name ending in .pdf, .xls, etc. When 
the checkmark by [Hide extension for known file types] on the "View" tab in 
Explorer's [Folder Options] dialog is removed, the correct BVD extension can be 
confirmed.

•

In the case of Windows Vista, click [Control Panel] 

J

 [Folder Options] in the Start 

Menu and remove the checkmark from the [Hide extensions for known file types] on 
the [View] tab in the [Folder Options] dialog.
