Setting the root

In either the Tree view or the List view, you can set the root location of the view from the Set Root dialog box.

Figure 4-2: The Set Root dialog box

Shown is the Set Root dialog box. At left is a multi line text box labeled Set root to: with a list of choices that includes My Computer, Current Workspace, Directory, Library, and Up One Level. At right is a text box for Path. Underneath that is a browse button that is grayed out when My Comupter or Current Workspace is the selected root.

Setting the root to the current workspace In the System Tree, the default root is the current workspace. If you prefer to work in the Library painter, you might find it convenient to set the root to the current workspace. Using the current workspace as your root is particularly helpful if you are using many libraries in various locations, because they are all displayed in the same tree.

To set the root of the current view:

In either view, select View>Set Root from the menu bar or select Set Root from the pop-up menu to display the Set Root dialog box.
Select the location you want from the Set Root To list box.
If you want the root to be a directory or library, type the path or browse to the path.
Click OK.
