The action history allows you to repeat and modify previously invoked File Manager® wizards. Complete invocation of any File Manager® Utility Function Wizards will automatically be stored as the top most entry in their respective group under Recent Actions (Fig 1).

An action can be executed through the context menu or by double clicking the action. Executing an action will silently (i.e. without showing any dialogs) invoke the File Manager® Utility Function with the Action Configuration unless the last execution resulted in an error. The exception to the rule is the Delete action, will always show a confirmation dialog.
While in an error state, executing an action will cause the appropriate wizard or dialog to appear.
You can modify the settings of an action by selecting Modify from the context menu. When selected, the appropriate wizard or dialog will be displayed with the current configuration. From here, you can modify any of the invocation settings, which will override the current configuration when the action is performed. Cancelling the invocation will revert the configuration to its last known state (no changes are saved).
Adding an action to favorites will store that action in its respective group under Favorite Actions. When you remove an item from the Recent Actions list, it will not be removed from Favorite Actions.
Actions are assigned a default name based on the resources involved in the action. This name can be overwritten by renaming the action. To revert it back to the default name, simply rename the action to a blank name.
Each group of actions under Recent Actions can store up to 25 actions. When more actions are inserted, the oldest action will automatically be removed. In order to remember old actions, you must add them to favorites.
Similarly, each group of actions under Favorite Actions can store up to 100 actions. When more actions are inserted, the oldest action will automatically be removed. To avoid deletion of important actions once the limit has been reached, remove any unwanted actions from the favorites list before adding a new favorite action.
