List of disks/folders in a group - lists disks and folders that belong to the selected group.

Disk's/folder's file structure - displays the file structure of the selected disk/folder.

Current object's description pane - displays description of the selected disk, folder or file. When an object is selected, this pane displays the object's description list or text; e.g. the file readme.txt or MP3 file's tag.
To modify the description: Open the dialog window Object's Properties (select the Properties item on the File menu or click on the Properties button button on the toolbar).
