The File Browser
The File Browser is an interactive browser that serves many purposes. It lets you
navigate the local volumes (both fixed and removable media) on your computer, or
remote volumes over your network. You use it to open or save scripts, load images via a
FileIn node, and to load and save lookup files and expressions.
Using the File Browser, image sequences can be listed either as a long list of individual
files or as a single object. You can bookmark favorite directories. You can also use it to
create and delete directories, and delete files directly in the Browser.
Opening the File Browser
There are several operations that open the File Browser.
To open the File Browser, do one of the following:
m Create a FileIn or a FileOut node.
m Click the Load Script button, located in the upper-right section of the Shake interface.
m Click the Save Script button, located in the upper-right section of the Shake interface.
m To open the File Browser from an existing FileIn or FileOut node (for example, if the
source media becomes disconnected), click the folder icon next to the file path in the
Parameters tab.
