Figure 3.7: The File Browser

This form, as shown in figure 3.7, is used for input or output file selection. The current directory is shown on the line labeled Directory, and is changed by clicking on the current directory name and entering the new name into the text entry field which appears. On the left side of the form is a browser which alphabetically lists all of the available directories and the files which match the Pattern given on the second line. Note that the file selection pattern will use glob-style pattern matching, not regular expression matching.

The browser can be used to traverse the file structure. Clicking once on a directory name changes the current directory to the new one. If you click once on a file name, the name appears in the file name text entry field and can be modified as needed. To select the file name given in the field, press the enter key or click on the Ready button, or else double-clock the file name entry. To cancel this file selection, click on the Cancel button. To refresh the list of files in the directory press Rescan.
