The name of the currently displayed directory, the so-called
file path
, is shown here. This includes the name of the active
drive as well as all the folders and sub folders which lead to the
current directory, each separated by backslashes
(reverse
diagonal strokes). Every time you choose a folder in the file list,
this folder name is attached to the end of the existing path name. The
Closer above the file list removes the last folder from the file list.
But you can enter path names from the keyboard as well, by moving the cursor into the editable field with a mouse click or with the arrow keys. In contrast to some older operating systems, you may conclude this input with the [Return] key without the consequent exit from the dialog.
During the setting of the search paths (see Options menu), the path name displayed here is taken over, and any entered filename is irrelevant here.
