  • Switching tabs (Pre-release only): Switch between the file browser, favorites and history tabs.

Usage Instructions

  1. Navigating Files:

    • Use the directional Up and Down buttons (C-Up and C-Down for fast scrolling) to move through the list of files and directories.
    • Press the A Button to open a directory or load a supported file.
  2. Performing File Operations:

    • Highlight the file or directory you want to operate on.
