Quick File

Quick File is used to quickly open one or more files without having to go to the program menus. Quick File supports multifile open using both the shift and control keys for selection control. Quick File consists of four unique controls:

1. Drive list:
Displays all physical and mapped drives currently available on the system. Changing this list will cause the directory list below to update which in turn causes the file list to update.

2. Directory list:
Displays all directories available on the selected drive. Clicking on a directory name will expand or contract the directory list depending on whether or not the selected directory contains any subdirectories. Changing this list will cause the file list to update.
3. File type list:
Lists the available file types that the file list will use as a filter. Users may enter their own file type by typing directly into the file type textbox. Changing the file type selection causes the file list to update. The last used file type is stored in the registry and used the next time the program is run.
4. File list:
Displays all files found in the selected directory matching the selected file type. Users may select one or more files to open. Pressing the enter key will open any selected files. User may also open files by right clicking the mouse and selecting Open selected file(s) when one or more files are selected.

Each of the four controls may be resized and repositioned. Simply click on the grey raised bar above the desired control to enable sizing and repositioning. Currently the position of resized or moved controls is not saved, therefore, the controls will be back to their original position the next time the program starts.

Users are not forced to use Quick File. An option exists in the program options to enable or disable Quick File at program startup.

Quick File opens at the initial directory as defined in the program options. Quick File also updates the last used directory, see initial directory for more details.

Quick File may be enabled and disabled at any time by using the toolbar icon or the View menu.
