How to open a file

You can choose to open a file:

    • press the Open file button (top left) to open the Open file dialogue; or
    • if the list is too long to read, enter a file name in the Filter files text box to locate the file in the list

To open a file when the tool is open:

  1. Click the new file tab (+) in the tab bar.
  2. From this tab:
    • select a file from the list, or
    • press the Open file button (top left) to open the Open file dialogue, or
    • enter a file name into the Filter parameters text box to locate the file from the list
