To use the Alias file browser:
- Choose Preferences > General Preferences
. - Choose System on the left side of the option window.
- Set Type of File Browser to Alias.
- Check on Create .ICON files if you want the saved files to display icons (small images) in the Alias browser. This option creates a separate .ICON file for each wire file.
Note:
The first time you open the file browser, only the path and filename text boxes are visible. To show the full browser, click Show List.
