StudioLines own Explorer is a key component that enables many of the advanced capabilities of the software. It functions similar to the familiar Windows Explorer, providing access to different classes of objects: the files on your computer and local network as well as on StudioLine-internal objects.
Many StudioLine features, such as the import, rely extensively on the Explorer. They will open it as necessary and immediately display the appropriate class of objects.
Here are the most common ways on how you would directly open the StudioLine Explorer:
From the File menu choose StudioLine Explorer. It will display the object class selection.
On the toolbar, click on one of three Explore... buttons to display the respective object class.
Multiple Explorer windows may be opened simultaneously, allowing for drag and drop operations between the folders in different windows.
The StudioLine Explorer employs three panes.
A function pane with command buttons.
A folder pane to navigate, access and manipulate object classes and folders.
A content pane to view, access and manipulate objects or files in the current folder. Use the View button on the function pane to toggle between different displays.
Where applicable, dragging an object from the folder or content pane to the Trash Can will delete it. For a list of other supported actions, click the right mouse button on object to open its context menu.
For an in-depth explanation of the StudioLine Explorer panel and the different object classes, refer to the Reference Guide.
