Toolbar

The toolbar provides one-click access to several of the menu options. The actions provided are as follows:

Exits Treeview without further ado.

The details panel is shown to the right of the tree panel.

The details panel is shown below the tree panel.

The entire window is used for the tree panel; no details display is shown.

The selected node is closed, so that its children are no longer visible. This option is not available if no node is currently selected, or if the selected node is already closed.

The selected node is opened, so that its children become visible. This option is not available if no node is currently selected, or if the selected node is already open.

The selected node, and all its children, and all its children's children... are closed, and if it is opened again its children will be treated as if they had not been encountered before, and re-read. This will be slower, but may result in more up-to-date information about the nodes. Since the child nodes are forgotten during a recursive collapse, this may be useful if viewing very large data structures if memory needs to be freed up. This option is not available if no node is currently selected.

The selected node, and all its children, and all its children's children... are opened. This enables you to see the entire contents of a given node. If performed on a node containing a lot of data, e.g. a directory containing many HDS files, it can result in many nodes being added to the tree which may be slow. This option is not available if no node is currently selected.

A short help message is displayed in the details display panel. This has the side-effect of deselecting any currently selected node.
