Using Directory Browser

The GeoSyn Directory Browser displays and sorts the contents of LAS and GeoSyn files by UWI rather than file name in selected directories and associated sub-directories. Sorting by UWI instead of a file name allows users to:

Filter files by geographic coordinates
Sort by various UWI columns
View basic details about the individual files before opening or importing

UWIs are listed in the appropriate survey system tab separated into columns representing each coordinate group of the survey system. Log files with missing or invalid UWIs are only listed in the Labels tab

Cataloging files

The first time it reads a directory, the Directory Browser creates a catalog file (.cat )of all (.las) and GeoSyn files in the selected directories . Depending on the volume of files, this can take several minutes as each file is read and cataloged. As a best practice and to reduce time, search directories should only include..las and ..syn files.

Note: Corrupt GeoSyn files in the target directory may cause Directory Browser to crash.
