wpClipper interface labeled
Let's take a closer look at the file browser first.
Below is a smaller image of it with slightly different labels to help exemplify:
The file browser for wpclipper is a stripped-down version of the
standard GTK search dialog. The "Add", "Remove" and FILE-FILTER
buttons are removed, but the rest is identical.
The DIRECTORY/FILES section is where standard file-browsing takes
place. A single-click on a file or folder selects it. A double-
click on a folder will open the folder and show the contents in the
control. A click on a file will load the new image (only image
type files are visible.) Loading involves creating a thumbnail on
the right side of the application and putting the original image in a
temporary file, ready for editing, saving, or copying to the clipboard.
The SHORTCUT FOLDERS are a list of links that open the file browser
(on a double-click) to the path selected. The user home folder name
is at the top. Next is the file system (usually "C:\\" in Windows,
and "/" on Linux.) And if wpclipper is locatted in the clipart "viewer"
subdirectory, then "wpclipart-x.x" will also appear in this section.
Items can also be dragged from the directory/files section to the
shortcut section to be added to the shortcut list.
The ENTER LOCATION BUTTON opens a text-entry box where a file or path
name can be manually entered.
And finally, the FOLDER PATH strip shows the directories above the current
list of files. (This bar will scroll via buttons to the right and left if
the file path is too long to view.) Clicking on any one of the folder path
buttons will re-open the directory/file list in the folder named on that
button. This is the easy way to "backtrack" to a higher-level directory.
