This File Chooser Window allows you to browse and choose files for various functions.It displays the following information:
This textfield displays the current directory being listed. Type in a new directory name and press return to display a different directory list.
This set of buttons allows you to jump quickly to different important directories:
Button | Meaning |
---|---|
![]() |
Pops up to the parent of the current directory. |
![]() |
Jumps to the Current Working Directory. |
![]() |
Jumps to the directory MULTI is running from. |
![]() |
Jumps to the user's home directory. |
Below the directory text field is the file list. Double click on a directory to enter it. Double click on a filename to choose it and dismiss the window. To sort the list in ascending or descending order by any column, click on the desired column header. Resize any of the columns by clicking and dragging the column separators in the column headers. If multiple files are allowed for the present operation (i.e. Edit and Open), the File Chooser will allow you to select multiple files with the mouse. Hold down the Control key to select non-consecutive files. Use the Shift key to extend a consecutive list of selected files.
Type a filename or directory name into this textfield. The selected file in the file list will change as you type in this field to reflect the closest match. If you enter a directory name and press return or enter a trailing slash, the file list will change to that directory. If you type a filename and press return the file will be chosen and the window dismissed. Chooser will translate the wildcards '*' and '?' to match respectively: 1) any number of consecutive characters, and 2) one character.
There are two buttons in the lower right corner of the file chooser window. The upper button displays the action that takes place upon pressing it (i.e. Edit or Save). The lower button is the Cancel button, which closes the window without taking any action.
