File Selector
-------------
When you pick Open or Save from the File menu, the File
Selector is displayed. This allows you to view, the contents
of directories, and pick an existing file or type in a new
name.
The File Selector dialog box looks something like this:
+-----------------------------------------------+
| Read File ... 1234 Meg Free |
| +-----------------+ |
| | C:\IMAGES | OK Cancel Help |
| +-------------+---+ ________.___ |
| |# .. |_^_| |
| |# dir1 | | A: B: C: |
| |# dir2 | # | D: E: F: |
| | file1.bmp |_ _| .BMP .GIF .JPG .PCX |
| | file2.jpg | v | .PNG .TGA .TIF .* |
| +-------------+---+ |
+-----------------------------------------------+
On the left side we have:
- A message, usually indicating read or write.
- Path of current directory.
- A list of subdirectories (with a blob to the left)
and files.
- Next to the file list, is a slider and two arrows
for scrolling.
On the right side we have:
- Amount of disk space available.
- OK, Cancel, and Help buttons to exit from dialog box.
- Space to type in a new file name.
- Buttons to select the first 6 drives.
- Buttons to select the types of files displayed.
To select a file for read:
- Pick the desired disk drive by clicking on one of the
buttons labeled "A:" through "F:". Alternatively you
can type a letter while holding down the Alt key.
For drives G and up, the keyboard must be used.
- Next, activate the desired set of file types for the
listing. The default is for BMP, JPG, PCX, PNG, TGA,
and TIF files to be listed. Use the ".*" button to
see everything in the directory.
- Next, go to the desired directory by clicking on
a directory in the scrolling list. Clicking on an
arrow will scroll up or down by one file. Clicking
above or below the slider will scroll up or down
by 9 files. Alternatively, you can drag the slider
to the desired position quickly.
- Select the desired file by clicking it twice or
clicking it then clicking on the OK button.
To specify a file name for write:
- Select
- You can pick an existing file to replace it or type
in a new name. Type the file name the way you
normally would. For example, to enter the name
"ABC.TIF" type
A B C . T I F
Don't enter spaces after the ABC.
- Press Enter or click on the OK button.
Initial Directory:
Many people keep their favorite images in a separate
directory with a name something like C:\IMAGES. If you
would like the File Selector to go to this directory
automatically, add a line resembling this to the PKTV.CFG
file:
INIT_DIR C:\IMAGES
Read CONFIG.TXT for more information about the configuration
file.
Keyboard operation:
You can use the following keys instead of the mouse:
Home - Go to first item in this directory.
Usually this will be ".." which
means go up one directory level.
End - Go to last item in this directory.
Page Up - Scroll up 9 files.
Same as clicking region above slider.
Page Down - Scroll down 9 files.
Same as clicking region below slider.
Up Arrow - Scroll up one file.
Same as clicking arrow above slider.
Down Arrow - Scroll down one file.
Same as clicking arrow below slider.
Enter - Same as OK button. (Note that it
a rectangle around the text,
indicating that it is the default
button.)
Select the currently highlighted
file or directory.
Esc - Cancel.
Printable characters - Enter a new file name.
Use a period (.) before the file
extension rather than inserting
spaces.
Alt-A ... Alt-Z - Select different disk drive.
Note that there are buttons only
for drives A through F so you must
use the keyboard for later letters.
Alt-1 ... Alt-8 - Toggle the file type selectors.
