Through the selector you can
browse your storage space and select files to be
loaded or saved.
It helps you organising your documents better,
thus keeping them safer.
Files are documents you can open, modify
and save.
At the end of their name, a few characters
provide their type. They are called the extension
Files are stored in folders.
A folder can contain other folders, and so on.
This builds a tree.
At any time you are viewing a precise position
in the tree: it's the current path.
The selector contains three major areas as well
as some smaller, additional ones
From left to right we have:
- the shortcut list
- the list of files and folder stores in the
current path
- A preview of the selected file in the file
list
Can also be found:
- current path display
- up one level
- history browsing
- search field
- name input
- filters on file types
Area:
shortcut list
|
|
From the shortcut list you quickly access special
locations in your storage space
It is displayed as a name or icon list.
Display settings can be changed from the upper
button.
You can move in the list through the scroll bar and
change its size with the handle.
It is divided in four sections, each section can be
opened or closed.
- Bookmarks: you can add items in this
section by drag & drop of folders or files,
from the shortcut list or the file list
To delete an item, drag it outside the box.
To erase the whole section, right-click its
title.
- Recent: it's the list of the last used
locations.
To erase this section, right-click its title.
- Locations: it's a list of
predefined locations in your storage space:
Desktop, Documents, Settings, etc. Display
settings can be changed from the upper button.
- Disks: it's the list of storage units,
removable or not, currently available. If the
unit is removable, an icon enables to
eject/unmount it.
Area:
files
and folders list
|
|
This is the
most important section: it shows the file and folder
that are present in the current path
They can be displayed as icons or list. This can be
selected from the upper button. Items can be sorted
by date, size, name, etc. in ascending or descending
order.
Clicking an item selects int and displays its
preview in a dedicated area.
Clicking a column title changes the sorting , a
second click changes the sorting order.
A long click on a column title enables to move the
column.
By right-clicking an item, you can :
- change its name: you then enter the new name
of the file or folder
- duplicate it: a copy will be made in the same
folder
- move to trash bin: the file is not
definitively erased, it will be when you empty
the trash bin
- show in system: the item is shown in the
standard window of your system file browser
- add to shortcuts: the item is added to the
list on the left. If it is a folder, it will be
opened, if it is a file, the current path will
be changed and the file shown in the selector
list
- detailed view: a full-screen preview is shown
