Folder Browser Toolbar (Windows Client)

In the Laserfiche Windows client, the toolbar in the folder browser allows you to perform basic operations, such as switching between the Folder Pane and Search Pane, item administration, and basic processing (i.e., printing, scanning, OCRing, etc.). Show me.

If any operation cannot be performed on a selected document, the button will be grayed out and disabled. Additionally, underneath the toolbar is a location bar, which displays the path to whatever folder is currently selected in the Folder Pane. If you know the path of the item or folder you want to view, you can type it into the location bar.
