The File Chooser

The File Chooser dialog is frequently encountered in Jim. The explanation given here applied to all occasions when you encounter one. A File Chooser allows you to select a file (or multiple files) or directory (or multiple directories). The chooser generally looks like this:

• To select a new directory, move around using a combination of the
  • icon to move up a directory.
  • icon to go to your home directory.
  • to move to higher-level directory.
  • Clicking on a directory to select or open that directory.

• Depending on the context, you can change the file filter to look for different types of file, e.g. Region-of-Interest files, UNC Image files, Analyze™ Image files, NIFTI-1 Image files etc.

• To select more than one file or folder, press the "Control" key down while making your selection. To select all files or folders in a list, select one file or folder at the top of the list, press the "Shift" key down, and select a file or folder at the bottom of the list. You can select any files or folder from the list in this way.

• When you are happy with your selection, press the "Load" button.
  Note: depending on the context, the label on the "Load" button may be something different, such as "Load Image", or "Save", but the meaning is the same - perform the requested action.

• To cancel the action, press the "Cancel" button.
