The file and folder explorer allows you to select files and folders from a hierarchical view of your computer. To access the explorer, press the Browse button.
The explorer contains a tree which lists all of the directories on your computer. To make the tree as easy to navigate as possible, the files and folders are displayed hierarchically as they occur within the file system. Zip files and Jar Files are displayed as folders so they can be used in comparisons and so the contents can be browsed.
The way that the files are presented will depend upon your operating system. However, in all cases there will be a root directory which contains files and folders underneath it. In Windows, the root folder is called My Computer. In Mac OS X and Linux it is /. To find networked computers on Windows systems, look under the My Networked Places folder under the Desktop folder. On Mac OS X, look under the Volumes Directory which will be listed under the / folder. On Linux systems, networked computers will generally appear under the mnt directory.
You can select a file either by clicking on it and then pressing OK, or by double clicking the file you want to select.
The toolbar items allow you to refresh a selected item, refresh the entire tree, create a new file , create a new folder , and delete the selected file or folder . These commands are also available on the context menu which is accessed by right clicking on a file or folder. The context menu will also allow you to create Zip Files and Jar Files.
