The CySlice File Selection window is divided into four main areas; the directories list, the files list, the full path, and the action buttons (see Figure 368). In the directories area, the sub-directories in the current directory are listed, along with "..", the current directory's parent. In the files area, the files in the current directory that match the filter are listed. In the path area the full path of the current directory, and selected file, is displayed. And finally, in the buttons area are the buttons you use to preview the selected file, to load/save the selected file, or abort from the load/save operation.
