In the browser portion of the window, you can scroll up and down the list of folders/files

and tap individual folders to drill down to the desired level to expose the names of

individual files located on the drive. The size of each file is shown at the end of the

filename. Many users will find this utility helpful when attempting to triage a large

evidence set and determine the priority by which each drive should be imaged, or when

checking the contents of a destination drive to free up space by deleting unneeded

directories and files.

4.7.1 Viewing text and image files

TX1 provides the ability to view certain text and image file types. This is a valuable

feature that will allow for on-the-fly analysis/triage of supported file types which could help

home in on valuable evidence before deciding whether to acquire a given drive. Files that

can be viewed directly on TX1 are indicated on the Browse screen with an eye icon at

the end of the filename/size information. Additionally, viewable files show an alternate

leading icon before the filename, as follows: folded paper icon with lines on it for text files;

and a mountain range icon for image files, as can be seen in the sample filesystem

browse view above. Selecting the desired viewable file will activate the View button at the

bottom of the Browse screen. Simply tap the View button to see the text or image file

directly on TX1. The screenshot below shows a sample image file displayed on TX1.
