File Dialog (Unix)

The File dialog is opened on save and load file operations.

The Open File Named field expands C-shell metacharacters like

'~' and $variables . Pressing <Return> in the text field selects the Open button.
Entering a C-shell regular expression in the Filter field and pressing the Update button filters the list to only those entries that match the filter.
Files menu
The Files menu lists the most recently opened files. Choosing a file from the list opens the selected file and then closes the File dialog. Files marked by a button remain in the list until they are removed in the options menu.

Directories menu
The Directories menu lists the most recent active directories. Choosing an entry from the list updates the directory.

Options menu
The Options menu serves to configure entries for the Files and Directories menus and allows creation of a new directory.
The Create Directory directory command creates directory in the current directory. This entry is only enabled if directory is entered in the editable text field.

Directory drop-down
The Directory drop-dpwn shows the list of directories in the path from the current directory to the root. You can click any directory in the path to open it.
Update Button
Updates the File List (useful when new files are created or deleted while the File dialog is open or when a regular expression is entered into the Filter field).
