  3. Browse directories using the main view and sidebar. Go backward and forward when those actions are available.
    • You should see previews or icons correctly representing contents of files and directories.
  4. Open multiple tabs with different locations.
  5. Try to open a variety of file types. Using the "Open With..." context menu, change the default application for a selected file type.
    • Files should be opened in their associated applications.
    • Application association should change for every file with same file type.
  6. Create, copy, move, delete and rename files and directories.
