The name for it is actually "File Browser". It has as its icon, a two drawer filing cabinet. It is in the Applications -> System Tools menu. > Works in Nautilus using your procedure (well, non-dominant mouse > button--I right-clicked--is that what you mean)? > I try to consistently use the term "non-dominant mouse button" rather than "right-clicking", to allow for people who use left handed mice, as well as right-handed mice. My wife, who is a software developer, uses mice and pointing devices (she sometimes uses trackball things), for both hands, due to too much mouse usage, requiring the switching of hands. I have since last posting, checked, and found that file-jpeg is part of the GIMP package, from the packages "Search by package contents" facility on the packages.debian.org web page, and, not, as I had assumed, part of the fiole package. So, I tried the advice - removed then reinstalled the GIMP. That also removed gnome-office (that I also reinstalled). Now the GIMP will not load. I assume, therefore, that my system is becoming even more unstable. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
