The Filesystem Browser
|
||||||
|
----------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sometimes higan will need
|
||||||
|
to ask you to choose a file or folder.
|
||||||
|
For this, it uses a special Filesystem Browser dialog.
|
||||||
|
Although many operating systems provide a native filesystem browser,
|
||||||
|
they do not all allow the same customizations.
|
||||||
|
Therefore,
|
||||||
|
higan provides its own filesystem browser
|
||||||
|
that works the same way on every platform.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The filesystem browser shows the contents of some particular folder,
|
||||||
|
and allows you to select one of those items.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Across the top of the window,
|
||||||
|
a text-box displays the path of the current folder.
|
||||||
|
If you want to browse a specific path,
|
||||||
|
you may edit the contents of this box
|
||||||
|
and press Enter to switch to the new location.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The button with two blue arrows at the top-right is "Refresh".
|
||||||
|
Pressing this button will check for
|
||||||
|
added (or removed) items in the current folder,
|
||||||
|
and add (or remove) them to (or from) the list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The button with the house at the top-right is "Home".
|
||||||
|
Pressing this button will switch to your home folder.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The button with the green up-arrow at the top right is "Parent".
|
||||||
|
Pressing this button will
|
||||||
|
switch to the parent of the current folder.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most of the filesystem browser lists the contents
|
||||||
|
of the current directory.
|
||||||
|
Double-clicking a folder,
|
||||||
|
or selecting it and pressing Enter,
|
||||||
|
will switch to showing the contents of that directory.
|
||||||
|
If the list has keyboard focus,
|
||||||
|
typing any text will jump to the first inem in the list
|
||||||
|
whose name begins with the text you typed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If a drop-down list appears in the bottom-left,
|
||||||
|
it allows you to choose which files appear in the list,
|
||||||
|
based on file-extension.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If this filesystem browser is asking for a file,
|
||||||
|
you can choose one
|
||||||
|
by double-clicking it,
|
||||||
|
by selecting it and pressing Enter,
|
||||||
|
or by selecting it and clicking the "Select" button in the bottom-right.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If this filesystem browser is asking for a directory,
|
||||||
|
you can choose one
|
||||||
|
by selecting it and clicking the "Select" button in the bottom-right.
|
||||||
|
Double-clicking
|
||||||
|
or selecting and pressing Enter don't work,
|
||||||
|
they just switch to viewing that directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The "Cancel" button in the bottom-right
|
||||||
|
closes the file-system browser without selecting anything.
