Opening files and entries

Browsers are used to organize your work, but they can also open all types of files and entries (only 

modeless browsers).

To open a file or entry, double click in the list on the right of the browser. If you double click a 

folder, its contents will be shown.

  Fractal files and parameter sets will be opened in a new fractal window. You can also drag 

them from the browser to any open fractal window. 

  Right click on a fractal file, parameter file, or parameter set and click Render to Disk to 

render

 it to disk. You can also drag them to the 

Render to Disk

 tool window.

Right click a parameter set and click Open as Text to open the parameter set in the 

formula editor

 to edit it manually.

  Gradients will be opened in a new gradient editor. You can also drag them from the browser 

to any open gradient editor.

  Transformations, fractal formulas, and coloring algorithms will be opened in the 

formula 

editor

. 

You can also drag transformations to the list of transformations in the Mapping tab of the 

Layer Properties

 tool window. Fractal formulas can be dropped on the top of the Formula 

tab, and coloring algorithms can be dropped on the top of the Inside and Outside tabs to 

select them.
