File Browser Sidebar

The middle section of the File Browser contains navigational controls as well as a sidebar
containing a list of servers, drives, and folders available on your computer.

View buttons

Forward/Back buttons

Path pop-up menu

Search field

Clicking a drive or folder in the sidebar displays its contents in the file stack below. Above
the list of drive and folder icons in the sidebar are several controls to navigate and sort
the contents of the window.

Forward and Back buttons:

Step backward and forward through the folders most recently

viewed. This works similarly to the Forward and Back buttons in the Finder.

If you are working on a Mac with a Multi-Touch trackpad, you can use a three-finger swipe
left or right to navigate up and down the directory tree.

Path pop-up menu:

Displays the file system hierarchy (folders inside of folders) for the

currently viewed folder.

Icon View and List View buttons:

These buttons control the view of the file stack. Click

the left button to set the display to icon view. Click the right button to set the view to
list view.

Search field:

Filters the contents of the file stack to include only files whose names contain

the text you type into the Search field. To clear the Search field, click the Clear button at
the right side.

Note: Folders are not filtered out.

File Browser Stack

At the bottom section of the File Browser is the file stack, which displays the contents of
the folder selected in the sidebar. You can scroll through long stacks using a scroll bar or
with a two-finger swipe on a Multi-Touch trackpad.
