Proxy Icon

The icons in the header of each window serve more than just decorative purpose. They can be manipulated just like any icon in a folder, allowing you to move, rename, and delete files in-place. This is a concept borrowed from MacOS -- the icon is a "proxy" for the actual file.

Actions on proxies

• Double-click the proxy to open the file with the default application.

• Click the dropdown arrow (or right-click, or press F10) to display a context menu

  

• Choose Rename in this context menu (or press Shift+F2) to edit the file name in-place

  

• Choose Delete in this context menu (or press Ctrl+Shift+D) to delete the file. This will immediately close the window.

• Click and hold until your cursor changes to "grab" the proxy, then drag it to a destination to move the file. You can also drag the proxy while holding Ctrl (to copy) or Alt (to make a shortcut), without holding first.

• For folders or executables, you can drag and drop another file onto the proxy to move it into the folder or open it in the application.

• Hold alt and double-click the proxy to display the file properties
