Use the Alias file browser

You can choose between the standard Windows or Alias file browsers to open, save and manipulate files.

1. Choose Preferences > General Preferences .
2. Choose System on the left side of the option window.
3. Set Type of File Browser to Alias.
4. 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.
