List View button:
Sets the file stack to display each file and folder as a hierarchical list.
A thumbnail of each file and folder appears to the left of each file and folder name within
the Name column. To the right, several additional columns display information for the
date, size, duration, and kind of each file. The contents of the file stack can be sorted by
any single column by clicking that column’s header. Clicking the same header twice
reverses the sort order, from ascending to descending, or vice versa.
Icon View button
List View button
Folders in this list can be opened hierarchically, using the disclosure triangle to the left
of each folder’s icon, or they can be double-clicked to replace the current contents of the
file stack with the contents of that folder.

Scale slider:
When in icon view, this slider enlarges or reduces the size of all icons
displayed in the file stack. The current scale size affects how many icons can be
simultaneously viewed within the current area of the file stack. The file stack can be
enlarged with the File Browser divider.
“Show image sequences as collapsed” button:
Image sequences are movie clips that
have been saved as individual image files, one for each frame of film or video. Clicking
this button allows you to view properly named image sequence files as a single image
sequence file. In the event that you’re viewing image files that have numbered filenames
that aren’t actually an image sequence (such as images captured with a digital camera
that you’ve imported from an iPhoto directory), you can turn this control off to see each
individual image file separately.
