Index > Operation > User Interface > File Explorer

| The File Explorer panel is a Windows Explorer - like control which lets you add navigation in your file system, and select files and folders to be added to the Rename List. Navigation is similar to navigation in Windows Explorer. Right click on an item(s) pops up its Windows Context Menu. Only items belong to the file system are shown. Virtual Items like Control Panel are not shown. You can change the view style of the items to Icons, Report or List from the File List > File List Style menu. Default style is Report. You can select whether to show hidden files and folders or not from File List > Show Hidden/System Files menu. You can back up one folder in the folder hierarchy by clicking the Back-Dir button in the top-right corner, or by pressing BackSpace. Folders are always shown before files. In report mode, You can sort the items by a specific column by pressing the column header. Pressing F2 on a file or folder let you rename it. New names will be updated for items in Rename List too. You can drag files from File Explorer to Rename List, to edit boxes in Filter Configuration Panel or to other programs like Windows Explorer. You can drag a file into File Explorer to locate it. Press F5 when File Explorer is focused to refresh (reread) items, or select Refresh from File List main menu. You can enter a wildcard mask filter or select from the drop-down list below, in order to show only files which match the mask. When adding files and folders to the rename list, only files which match the mask will be added. Pressing the "-" button in the lower right corner, will show the exclude masks window. In this window, you may input wildcard masks. When adding files to rename list, files which match any of those masks will not be added. The last folder you visited will be remembered in the next session of MFR. You can cancel this option in the Options Window. Masks you input in the mask filter and exclude masks window will be saved.
