The editor has a proprietary file system browser that is accessible when the editor is connected to the server. It has full access to the file system to open, save and delete files, as well as to display, create and delete folders. The created diagrams, in JSON format, can be saved in existing folders or in newly created ones. Currently the file browser works under Windows. The server connection uses node.js.

NOTE: Due to some current limitations of node.js libraries, the file browser can access only the file structures or the disk partition where the JDElite Data Modeler is installed and launched from. Files and folders with names containing spaces are not accepted.
