1.7 Getting around using Explorer

The second page of the main Editor notebook contains a page called the Explorer. You use this page to browse various data source including the filesystem, CVS, Zope, WebDAV, SSH accounts, FTP.

The Explorer shows filesystems and development directories from your operating systems. The first time Boa Constructor is run these filesystems and development directories are added.  You can re-configure where to look using the configuration file Explorer.msw.cfg on Windows or Explorer.gtk.cfg on UNIX.

The python directories are taken from the environment variable PYTHONPATH, and then default locations as compiled into your Python runtime system.

Directories that you use a lot can be added to the Bookmarks section by selecting them clicking on the
Bookmark tool or menu.

If you are using Zope, you can access projects in your Zope Server using the Zope option. The default TCP/IP connection information is configured in the Inspector pane or in your Explorer configuration file, Explorer.msw.cfg on Windows or Explorer.gtk.cfg on UNIX.
