+ * \brief Default operations table for files.
+ *
+ * These are file operations that depend upon the filesystem the
+ * browser is operating on. These allow the core browser functionality
+ * to be filesystem agnostic.
+ *
+ * The provided defaults operate on POSIX path names with / as a
+ * directory separator in a single hieracy from a root directory.
+ *
+ * Other path conventions require the default operations to be
+ * overridden. For example windows frontend runs on a filesystem with
+ * drive letter and a \\ as a separator.
