Common Features with the Windows Explorer
Similar to the Windows Explorer, the Browser window has two separate panes: The left pane shows the directory structure in which the directories and folders are arranged. Detailed information about the files and Sequences appears on the right. You can handle the Brower items in the same way as you handle the items in the Windows Explorer:
On the left pane: Click the "+" sign beside a directory name to display the items underneath. Click the "-" sign to hide the items.
On the left pane: Click a directory to view its contents on the right pane. Files and samples appear on the right pane, as well.
On the right pane: Double-click a file open the appropriate editor for the file. Double-click a sample to open the chromatogram.
A type-specific icon allows easy identification of the file types (sequence, PGM File, Quantification Method, etc.). Chromeleon automatically recognizes the Type (Sample Type) (standard sample, unknown sample) and/or the data format (e.g., 3D field) and displays the data in the appropriate chromatographic environment.
To drag a subdirectory, sequence, or file to a different directory, select the item. When you drag the selected item while holding down the right mouse key, a context menu opens. Select an option to copy or move the item to the new location. When you drag the selected item while holding down the left mouse key, the action, which was defined as the default action (Ask, Copy, or Move), is performed.
