Opening Files: Basic Dialog Format
The Open File Dialog
The dialog above is the Basic Open File dialog. The format of this dialog is similar to those of the native operating system but has been modified to contain some GaussView specific functions.
The list box on the left shows recently and commonly accessed directories. Right clicking on one of the directories will give you the option of removing it from the list, as seen below.
Clicking on a directory in the left list will display its contents in the list box to the right, and you can navigate the folders there through the same method you would as the Operating System’s dialog.
The divider between these two list boxes can be moved by clicking and dragging it in order to change their sizes.

popup specifies where the read-in structure should be placed:In general, only the first structure present in a file is input. Thus, only the structure in the first job step of Gaussian input files is retrieved. However, when selected, the
checkbox causes GaussView to retrieve all geometries that are present in some Gaussian results files as separate models within the designated target. This box applies to results files from geometry optimizations, IRC jobs, ADMP and BOMD trajectory calculations, and potential energy surface scans: all jobs with an optimization component.
