NWE Help: Graphics: XV: Load

NWE Home :: Help :: Graphics :: XV

The XV load window lets you load and view images interactively. The load window is a quick and easy way to find and load images with XV. (If you prefer to browse with thumnail images instead of file names, you should use Visual Schnauzer.)

XV load window

The load window shows the contents of the current directory in a scrolling window. The files will be sorted alphabetically, with a small icon for each indicating the type of file (directory, executable, or normal file).

Directories have folder icons. Double-click on a directory name to enter it; double-click the ".." directory to move up one level in the filesystem. (For more help with files and directories, see our file management help pages.)

Whenever you click on a name in the list (or otherwise change the position of the highlight bar), the name of the highlighted file is copied to the "Load file" text entry region, located below the list window. Pressing the Ok button (or hitting <Return> ) will make XV attempt to load the specified file. If the load attempt is successful, the load window will disappear, and the new image will be displayed. Otherwise, an error message will be displayed, and the load window will remain visible.

You can also load a file by double-clicking on its name in the file list.
