  <h2>Moving around in the file system</h2>

  <p>To select the folder containing the desired images for display, change to the image's folder using the folder view. Single clicking a folder with the primary mouse button will change the main window to display that folder's contents. When the folder view is displayed as a list, use the folder named &ldquo;..&rdquo; to change to the parent folder (the parent folder is the folder that contains the current folder).</p>

  <p>To select a folder with the keyboard, move the focus to the desired folder and press the <span class="key">SpaceBar</span> or <span class="key">Enter</span> key.</p>

  <h2>Moving around within a folder</h2>

  <p>After selecting the desired folder as above, the desired image can be viewed by selecting it from the file list. To select a file for display single click it with the primary mouse button.</p>

  <p>To select a file with the keyboard, move the focus to the desired file. As you move the focus within the file list the image display will update to match the highlighted file.</p>

  <h2>Going home</h2>

  <p>To change to your home folder, click the Home button in the tool bar.</p>

  <h2>Direct path entry</h2>

A folder or file can be typed into the entry to quickly change to a desired location or image, the main window will update after pressing the <span class="key">Enter</span> key. Tab completion is also available in the path entry.</p>

  <p>Next to the path entry is a button with a down arrow, clicking this will display a drop down list containing the most recent locations viewed.

  <h2>Stepping through images sequentially</h2>

  <p>To change the displayed image to next or previous one within the same folder, use the respective <span class="key">PageDown</span> and <span class="key">PageUp</span> keys. The mouse can also be used to change the image by clicking the image display with the respective primary and middle buttons.</p>
