The Explorer provides access to files on your computer and local network, as well as StudioLine-internal objects. See the Users Guide for an introduction on the StudioLine Explorer.
The StudioLine Explorer employs three panes.
The function pane has a series of command buttons:

Switch View |

Use the folder pane to navigate, search, access, rename and delete folders, if that action is supported for the current class of folders.
To view the content of a folder, single-click the left mouse button on the folder’s icon.
To view a list of subfolders, double-click the left mouse button on the folder’s icon.
To delete a folder, drop it into the trashcan.
To view the parent folder, click the “Up One Level” button.
For a list of other supported actions, access the context menu by clicking the right mouse button over the folder’s name.
The content pane shows the objects of the current folder in one of three distinct views. Use the Switch View button on the function pane to toggle between views:
Text View: a list of object names only
Thumbnail View: thumbnail images or icons
Combination View: a listing of a thumbnail image or icon, name and (if available) certain properties per each object.
Depending on the class of objects shown in the content pane, you may be able to perform various actions against these objects:
