PathMaster File Selector
User Documentation 89-06-26.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright © 1989 by Justin V. McCormick.
All Rights Reserved.
The selector is completely dynamic and asynchronous; you
may change directories, select files, scroll the file list,
etc., while the selector is scanning a directory.
The three Sort Gadgets (Alpha, Size, and Date) work like
switches. For instance, if you click on the "Alpha" Sort
Gadget, the gadget will remain highlighted ("On") when you
release the mouse button. The File Selector will now
alphabetize directories automatically until you turn the Sort
Gadget "off" by clicking it again, or click on a differnt Sort
Gadget.
Clicking the Menu Button activates the FILE or PATH String
Gadget, allowing you to type in a new file or pathname without
having to click inside of the string gadgets first. Also, some
keyboard shortcuts are available:
ESCAPE key - Same as clicking on the "Cancel!" gadget.
Cursor-Up key - Same as clicking on the Up Arrow gadget.
Cursor-Down key - Same as clicking on the Down Arrow gadget.
Shift-RETURN keys - Toggle between FILE and PATH gadget.
Note that if the PATH, FILE, or PATTERN String Gadgets are in
use, the keyboard shortcuts are disabled.
The selector has a software path length limit of 344 characters.
You will receive a warning message in the titlebar if you try
to exceed this limit.
