When you open a disk image file or read in a disk with a valid and non-corrupt FAT-12 filesystem on it (most PC disks use this filesystem) you will see all of the files and directories present on the disk in the main window (Figure 3.1). To see the contents of a directory, click on the expand symbol next to the folder icon.

Figure 3.1: The contents of a disk image
Image mainwindow-dirs

Four columns are shown in the file area of the main window. These are Filename, Attributes, Size and Date Modified. The contents of all these except perhaps attributes should be fairly obvious.

The attributes column shows which attributes the file has set. These attributes are:

Attribute letter Attribute Name
r Read-Only
h Hidden
a Archive
r System
d Directory
