## The File Chooser

The File Chooser used by RText is a custom file chooser with functionality similar to that found in Open/Save dialogs in Microsoft Windows.

Some of its features include:

- Auto-complete of filenames. The File Chooser shows a list of all files with names matching what you've typed so far.
- List, Details, and Icons views allow you to view the files in a directory just as you want to.
- Color-coding of filenames make it even easier to distinguish the file you want to open from others in a directory.

All of the above options can be configured from the File Chooser panel in the Options dialog.

You can also rename and delete files directly from the File Chooser, as well as add custom file filters to easily view the file types you frequently edit.
