New page

The Folders Pane contains the "tree view" of the folders where you can navigate. Folders are ways to organize files better.

It is called a "tree view" because you have the folders hierarchy represented like tree branches. It uses the same graphic representation found in many modern operating systems.

== Basic Operations ==

=== Opening a Folder ===

To open a folder, revealing its "children" folders, simply click in the plus sign ([[Image:Ckfinder plus sign.gif|Image:Ckfinder_plus_sign.gif]]) in front of it. If the plus sign is not present, the folder doesn't have children folders to be displayed. 

See "Under Request Loading" below in this page to better understand how folders are load.

=== Closing a Folder ===

To close a folder, hiding its children folders, simply click in the minus sign ([[Image:Ckfinder minus sign.gif|Image:Ckfinder_minus_sign.gif]]) in front of it.

=== Selecting a Folder ===

To select a folder, making it the "current folder" in CKFinder, simply click in the folder name, or in its icon. The selected folder will have a different background color.

== Advanced Operations ==

Advanced operations may be achieved on a folder by using its "[[CKFinder/Users Guide/CKFinder Interface/Context Menu|Context Menu]]". The following options are available:

 == "Under Request" Loading ==
 &nbsp;The most important difference between CKFinder and the folders tree found in operating systems, is that, in CKFinder, the folders are loaded "under request". It means that it doesn't load the entire folders tree at startup, but loads a small subset of them when "opening" the folder. This is a requirement on advanced web applications like CKFinder.
 To indicate that folders are being loaded, the "Loading..." label may appear when opening a folder: <br>
-[[Image:Ckfinder_under_request.gif]]
+[[Image:Ckfinder under request.gif|Image:Ckfinder_under_request.gif]]
 The label will automatically disappear once the folders load is completed. Once loaded, the label should not appear anymore for that folder.&nbsp;

 Not all characters can be used in folder and files names due to limitations in the systems where CKFinder runs. For instance, the following characters cannot be used on folders and files names: \ /&nbsp;: *&nbsp;? " &lt; &gt; |
