File menu
This command allows the user to select data files to be analyzed by GemStone. The Select Files dialog is displayed. This is a special File Open dialog designed to make selection of FCS files efficient and easy.
Favorites
A group of controls at the top left of the dialog allows you to store and select file folders that you frequently visit as “favorites”. Use the drop-down list to select a folder you have previously stored as a favorite. Use the star button to store a folder as a favorite, and use the trash can button to delete a path from the favorites list.
File Folder Tree
A tree control on the left of the dialog allows you to navigate to the FCS files that you want to analyze. Double-click a folder in the tree or click the “+” symbol next to it to expand its contents. The files contained in the selected folder will be displayed in the file list.
Files of Type
This dropdown control displays the current file selection filter. Click the down-arrow to view and select another filter, or type a selection filter into the control directly. Use “*” to display all files in the selected folder.
File List
The list in the center of the dialog displays the files in the selected file folder that match the selection filter in the Files of Type control. Normally, the list shows only the names of the files. However, you can use the Columns button to select additional information to display in the list. The Show Details option must be enabled in order to view the additional columns of information.
Show Details
When this option is enabled, the File List will display additional columns of information about the files. Use the Columns button to select the information you want to display.
