Setting the root

In either the Tree view or the List view, you can set the root location of the view.

StepsTo set the root of the current view:

  1. In either view, select View>Set Root from the menu bar or select Set Root from the pop-up menu to display the Set Root dialog box.

    Shown is the set root dialog box. At left is a text box labeled Set root to: with a list of choices that includes My Computer, Current Workspace, Directory, Library, and Up One Level. At left is a text box for Path.
  2. If you want the root to be a directory or library, type the path or browse to the path.

Setting the root to the current workspace

In the System Tree, the default root is the current workspace. If you prefer to work in the Library painter, you may find it convenient to set the root to the current workspace. Using the current workspace as your root is particularly helpful if you are using many libraries in various locations, because they are all displayed in the same tree.
