  87.             Three windows are displayed. In the
  88.             <span class="emphasis"><em>Folders</em></span> window, you can select the folder
  89.             (the directory) to be explored. You can go back up the folder
  90.             hierarchy by using "../". If you want to refresh the current
  91.             directory, clicK on "./". In the <span class="emphasis"><em>Files</em></span>
  92.             window, the selected folder files are displayed. You select a
  93.             file by a single left click (a double left click opens the
  94.             image directly). The selected file is displayed in the
  95.             <span class="emphasis"><em>Preview</em></span> if it is an image recognized by
  96.             Gimp.  Clic in the preview to generate or update the preview.
  97.           </p>
  98.               <p>
  99.             With Ctrl+click you can select more than one file and so, you
  100.             can open several images at the same time. 
  101.           </p>

  112.             After clicking on this text box, you can input a file name. You
  113.             enjoy autocompletion: you enter first letters of the file and
  114.             press TAB key. Only files beginning by these letters will be
  115.             displayed in Files window, and if only one file has these
  116.             letters, its name will automatically be displayed in text box.
  117.             It's a handy way to find a file out of a large list.

  126.             determined automatically.  With Linux, file extensions (.bmp,
  127.             .png...) is not priority. File type is determined according to
  128.             proper file  characteristics. In some exceptionnal cases, when
  129.             Gimp doesn't recognize file type, you can set it by selecting
  130.             it in the dropping list. Only files with this type can then be
  131.             openned.
