-
- The selector is completely dynamic and asynchronous; you
- may change directories, select files, scroll the file list,
- etc., while the selector is scanning a directory.
-
- The three Sort Gadgets (Alpha, Size, and Date) work like
- switches. For instance, if you click on the "Alpha" Sort
- Gadget, the gadget will remain highlighted ("On") when you
- release the mouse button. The File Selector will now
- alphabetize directories automatically until you turn the Sort
- Gadget "off" by clicking it again, or click on a differnt Sort
- Gadget.
-
- Clicking the Menu Button activates the FILE or PATH String
- Gadget, allowing you to type in a new file or pathname without
- having to click inside of the string gadgets first. Also, some
- keyboard shortcuts are available:
-
- ESCAPE key - Same as clicking on the "Cancel!" gadget.
- Cursor-Up key - Same as clicking on the Up Arrow gadget.
- Cursor-Down key - Same as clicking on the Down Arrow gadget.
- Shift-RETURN keys - Toggle between FILE and PATH gadget.
-
- Note that if the PATH, FILE, or PATTERN String Gadgets are in
- use, the keyboard shortcuts are disabled.
-
- The selector has a software path length limit of 344 characters.
- You will receive a warning message in the titlebar if you try
- to exceed this limit.
