RBrowser File Viewer

Opening Files
Just double click on either the file's name in the browser or the large icon in the Icon Path. You can select multiple files and open them all at once by double clicking on its icon in the Icon path.
The File Viewer has three areas:
SHELF:
Icons on the shelf can provide a shortcut to files and folders you access frequently. The shelf always contains your home folder, which is where you keep your own work. You can add or remove other files and folders. If you click on a shelf icon, the browser will load the selected file. To put a file on the shelf, just drag it from the Icon Path and drop it over the empty shelf . To remove a file just drag it off. The shelf is resizable by dragging the little button in the bottom.
ICON PATH
The icon path shows where you are in the file system. This row of icons shows the selected file or folder and the folders above it in its branch of the file system.
BROWSER
