Icons
Each object in a filer window is represented by an icon. There are three types of filer icon:
Files, Folders, and Applications.
- this is the icon for a drawfile (notice how the picture depicts the type of file it
represents)
- this is the icon for a spritefile (notice how the picture depicts the type of file it
represents)
- this is the icon for a text file (notice how the picture depicts the type of file it
represents)
Files (the icons used to represent files give an indication of the type of file by the
picture used). Notice the up-turned, bottom right-hand corner indicating that these are files (
documents).
- this is the icon for a closed folder / directory
- this is the icon for an open folder / directory
Folders (all folders look alike). Folders (or directories) can be created to give your
hard disc order. Folders can be created within other folders to make a heirarchical structure.
When a folder is opened it's icon changes to that of an open folder.
- this is the icon for the !Draw application which creates and edits drawfiles
(notice the similarity between the application icon and the application's
associated file icon, above).
