The List View

Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.620

Lists the files and folders in the folder, selected in the Folder Name Drop-Down List/Selector.

It is largely identical in features and functionality to the List View in Windows Explorer. The most significant differences being:

•	When the dialog is opened, the file types listed in it are always filtered.
•	The files in it can not be dragged and dropped into the Output Editor for file name conversion, nor can they be dropped into other, LFNAlias, windows/dialogs, or controls.
•	It is not possible to select more than one file at a time.

The List View not only displays a folder's contents, It can be used to select the file under which the contents of the Output Editor should be saved.

However, if a file is selected in it, not only will the text in the File Name Edit Field be immediately replaced through the name of the selected file, the selected file itself and its entire contents will be replaced by the current contents of the Output Editor, if the dialog is closed by means of the Save Button and this can not be undone !

The File Name Edit Field
Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.630

The Save as Type Drop-Down List
Fig. 2.1.1.2.2.1.0.635
Determines as what type of file the contents of the Output Editor should be saved and the filter that is applied to the files listed in the List View.
