Main explorer view

The visionCATS main window contains at least one tabbed document –the file explorer. All stored data in the software database can be accessed from the file explorer. In many ways, the file explorer works like the Windows Explorer, with a folder structure containing files and subfolders. By default, a “Home” folder is created with some sample files in it.
