ELAN Converter™ has a built-in file browser, so you can navigate in your file structure. The file browser is located on the upper side of the screen. (You have to go to the Batch tab to see it in Batch Mode.)

The screen looks like the Windows File | Open dialog box, except that there is a special directory entry called "..", which is used to go to the parent directory. Unlike in Explorer, there is no directory tree here, and files and directories are listed together. Directories have a yellow folder icon, while files are associated with distinctive icon used by ELAN Converter™ only. We use the following color coding:

(white): for TIFF files

(blue): for JPEG files

(green): for PNG files

(yellow): for BMP (Windows Bitmap) and other raster image files

(red): for PDF files

The easiest way to navigate between your files is to use the mouse. Double click on a folder to go into it. Double click on the ".." folder (the first one) to go back to the parent. Double click on an image to view it.

The fastest way to navigate is of course the keyboard. Use the cursor keys to move the highlight, hit Enter to go into a subdirectory. You can quick search by simply typing the first (or first few) characters of the file or directory name.

Use the Files of type selection to filter the file list based on extension (file type).
