File Browser
The file browser dialog is used for loading and saving files. The user
interface of the file browser provides a number of specialized features for
working with images and file sequences.
This screenshot shows the file browser with the major user interface
components:
- The menu bar and tool bar provide access to the file browser actions
and options.
- The file view shows the contents of the current directory with
thumbnails and information about images and file sequences.
- The file selection shows the path and file name of the file selected
for loading or saving.
- The search box allows quick filtering of the file view contents.
