* Added more "up-to-top-of-page" symbol/links to h1/h2 headings where appropriate

* Changed "up-to-top-of-page" symbol to a 90° rotated bullet graphic of the new
  website (Good idea, Jorge.). Increased its size to 32x32 so it's easier to
  aim for.
* Mentioned new ~/config/boot/launch/ folder in filesystem-layout.html.
* Updated Workspaces screenshot due to renamed options (Thanks Ryan.)
* Moved magnify.png to the /en/images/apps-images/ subfolder as it's not totally
  language neutral.

<p>Being an application like any other (the Desktop with its icons is really just a fullscreen window in the background), Tracker appears with its windows in the Deskbar and can be quit and restarted. The easiest way to quit and restart a crashed or frozen Tracker (or a wayward Deskbar) is to call the <a href="teammonitor.html">Team Monitor</a>.</p>

<p>In order to access a harddisk, CD, USB stick etc., you first have to mount the volume, that is, let the system know it's there.

You find the same <span class="menu">Mount</span> menu in the Deskbar.</p>

<a id="navigating" name="navigating">Navigating</a></h1>
<p>By default, when you double-click a folder, Tracker opens a new window while leaving the parent window open. This can quickly lead to an overcrowded desktop.<br />
You can prevent that by holding down the <span class="key">OPT</span> key, which automatically closes the parent window.<br />
This is also true for keyboard navigation. For more on that, see topic <a href="keyboard-shortcuts.html">Shortcuts and key combinations</a>.</p>
<p>Moving through your folders is one of Trackers main purposes, just like the file managers on other platforms. Haiku's Tracker has some unique features that will help you doing that efficiently.</p>

<p>Note, that the Desktop is always the topmost level as that is where Tracker shows mounted volumes. So, if you want to go to another disk, you first have to navigate to the top (Desktop) and cross over to your other disk from there.</p><br />
<p>You'll get the same submenu-navigating when you drag a file over a folder. After a short while of hovering, a submenu pops up and you can drill down to your destination. If you initiated the drag with the right mousebutton, you can choose between copying, moving or linking the file when you release the mouse.</p>

<a id="type-ahead" name="type-ahead">Jumping to files with type-ahead</a></h2>
<p>You may be familiar with the concept from file managers of other operating systems: typing the first few letters of a filename will jump to the first file matching these starting characters. Haiku took the idea a step further. If there isn't a file starting with those letters it will jump to the first file including the string anywhere in its name. And if there's nothing with the string in its filename, the attributes are searched next.</p>
<img src="images/tracker-images/window-type-ahead.png" alt="window-type-ahead.png" />
<p>In the above example, there are many files starting with "Haiku logo", rendering simpler approaches to typing ahead quite useless. In Haiku however, typing "web" jumps right to its first occurence in "Haiku logo - website". The characters you enter appear in the bottom left corner where you normally find the item count of all files in the folder. A second after entering a character, the display jumps back to normal and you're ready for a new type ahead search.</p>
