This button will cause the folder view to cd to the folder of the currently active document if possible. This button is disabled, if the active document is a new, unsaved file, or the folder in which it resides can not be decided.
Here you can type the path of a folder to browse. The URL entry maintains a list of previously typed paths. To choose one use the arrow button to the right of the entry.
The URL entry has folder auto-completion. The completion method can be set using the mouse button menu of the text entry.
This is a standard KDE folder view.
The Filter entry allows you to enter a filter for the files
displayed in the folder view. The filter uses standard globs; patterns

*.moc

*
.
The filter entry saves the last 10 filters entered between sessions, to use one, press the arrow button on the right of the entry and select the desired filter string.
