File Open/Save Dialogs
The File Dialog has two views of the file system selectable using the
right-most toolbar buttons. View Mode lists the files by name in
multiple columns. Detail View lists the files and their metadata
in one vertical strip. In View Mode, clicking the column headers
with the mouse will sort the files based upon that attribute.
In some instances, the File Dialog allows the selection of multiple
files. To select multiple files, click a file with the mouse and
then click the mouse on additional files while holding down the CTRL
Key (Apple Key on Mac OSX). Clicking the mouse while holding down
the SHIFT key will select all files between the last selected file and
the newly selected files.
When opening files in Caret, it is not necessary to set the File Type
control to the exact data type. Instead, while leaving the File
Type control set to "Any File", select one or more files and press the
Open button. If Caret is not able to identify a file by its file
name extension, Caret will query the user to positively identify a
file. If there are many files, it may be helpful to set the File
Type control to a specific type of file and only those files will be
listed.
