Getting StartedAfter launching WhatsOpen there are two ways to use the program. You may click "List Files" which will give you a listing of every file your user has open (or the system has open if superuser is enabled). Or you may drag a removable volume (or file) into the WhatsOpen window and search parameters will be setup for you for the item you drag. WhatsOpen will automatically laod a file list if you drag an item into its window.How do I reload the file list?
Just click on the "list files" button and the list will reload.
Why can't the list auto-refresh?The list of open files is obtained via the unix utility lsof. This utility is very CPU intensive and refreshing the list over and over would eat significant resources. If you want to watch realtime system resource usage you should use Apple's Activity Monitor.
