The main window is divided in 3 lists:
- Timeline: allow you to navigate between ‘now’ and snapshots
- Places: allow to quickly navigate to special folders: home, root, bookmarks and directories to backup
- Files: allow to navigate through the file system at the moment specified in timeline list. Files can be opened (double-click) using gnome file association. Keep in mind that snapshots are ‘readonly’. You can sort items by name (folders always first), by size or by date.
If you right-click and item in the file list you will see the following menu:
- Open the item using gnome-open
- Copy selected item (you can paste it into your file-manager)
- Snapshots: show all snapshots for the current file/directory
- Restore (only for snapshots items) selected file/directory
