Hi, I have just met Thumby and I was trying to follow the official tutorial from here https://thumby.us/Code-Editor/Get-Started/
Right from the scratch I do not understand the meaning of the UPLOAD button since it just opens an explorer and does NOT upload a "test.py" file to Thumby.
The only way to upload my code is via FILE --> save to Thumby. Then, everything is ok.
So what is wrong with this UPLOAD button?
Thanks a lot

Hello,
Buttons in the code editor will have some helpful hover text, and we also have a longer form description of all the different panels/widgets in the Code Editor. Here's the section that mentions the Upload button in the Filesystem: https://thumby.us/Code-Editor/Widget-panels/#filesystem
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Cheers,
Réna

Thanks a lot! Makes sense :)
However! I repeat, when I press the UPLOAD button it just OPENS A WINDOWS EXPLORER (I am on Win11 just in case) - and no upload is happening. When I use SAVE TO THUMBY or SAVE AS ... - everythin's ok.
Strange.

Upload - uploading files from your computer to Thumby. The opening of a windows explorer is intentional in this case.
Save As - save open files in the code editor to Thumby.
These are the intended uses of these buttons.

Ah, ok. It means if I do have some filename.py on my PC, via upload I can find it on a disk, and upload it to Thumby. Correct?
I cannot upload the code I made inside IDE directly to thumby. I need to do it via SAVE / SAVE AS
Is that correct?

Right!
