====== FileBrowser Features ======

The two primary uses of FileBrowser are [[uploading|uploading]] and [[inserting_images|inserting]] images. What follows is a walkthrough of other handy FileBrowser features.

To get to the FileBrowser starting from yoursite.com/admin, click this link:

You should now see a listing of the files you've uploaded and folders you've created. You may not have any folders yet, so here's how you create one:

===== Creating Folders =====

{{:new_folder.jpg|}}

Then, fill in the //Name// field and click the //Submit// button. Certain characters in the name, such as spaces, will be replaced by underscores. For example, I named this folder "my directory" but it appears below as "my_directory."

{{:my_directory.jpg|}}

Notice the folder icon in the second column.
===== FileBrowser Navigation =====

==== Sorting ====

In the above image, the files are sorted by date (since the //Date// column heading is shaded) in descending order (since the triangle is pointing down). You can also sort by //Filename// or //Size// by clicking on the appropriate column heading. Click on a column heading a second time to toggle the order between ascending and descending.
==== Filter and Search ====

When browsing through a large number of files, sometimes it's handy to filter out the irrelevant stuff:

{{:filebrowser_filter.jpg|}}

You can also search for partial text in the filename, in case you have an idea of what the filename should be:

{{:filebrowser_search.jpg|}}

Power users can combine searching and filtering to quickly and effectively drill down to the file(s) they need.
