• Specify a specific view to display the types of files that match the user's goal. For example, if a user is browsing
pictures, display pictures in the file picker.
• Allow users to start browsing from an appropriate default folder if possible.
Spin boxes
Use a spin box to allow users to choose an item from an ordered list easily. For example, use spin boxes to allow users to
find a number or to change the day of the week.
