Using the fileselector is really very simple.

|
Use the
|
|
.B TAB
|
|
key to move forwards from one input/display field to
|
|
the next. If enabled in the termcap,
|
|
.B Shift-TAB
|
|
will move backwards.
|
|
Pressing enter in a field will perform the changes you may have made and
|
|
move to the next field. Pressing
|
|
.B TAB
|
|
will discard the changes and move to the next field.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B "Filemask:"
|
|
controls what kind of files will be displayed in the
|
|
.B "Files:"
|
|
list. The expression follows the same rules as your shell does, i.e.
|
|
\'*.tgz' will only show files having names ending with '.tgz'.
|
|
|
|
.B "Directory:"
|
|
displays the current directory. You can also type in another directory
|
|
in this field.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B "Directories:"
|
|
list enables you to browse the filesystem. Select
|
|
.B '..'
|
|
and press enter to
|
|
go up the directory tree, select any other directory listed to descent
|
|
into that directory.
|
|
|
|
Finally there three more fields: The
|
|
.B Selection:
|
|
, the
|
|
.B <Ok>
|
|
button and the
|
|
.B <Cancel>
|
|
button. The file chosen in the
|
|
.B Files:
|
|
field, assuming you pressed enter, will be displayed in the
|
|
.B Selection:
|
|
field. You can also change this value directly by editing the field.
|
|
|
|
When you are satisfied with the current selection you can move the cursor
|
|
to the
|
|
.B <Ok>
|
|
button and press enter. If you want to back out, move the cursor to the
|
|
.B <Cancel>
|
|
button and press enter.
