I been been using Redshop for about 1.5 years and finally there is another product that works. I just want to know is there an easy way to find out which files to edit when I want to change the format of something. From reading the documentation, I know that to change some appearance, I go to display->views. But if I wanted to change some for example on the Product page, how can i tell which view to look at. Hope this makes sense.

In most cases, ctrl is the view, task is the file, under the menu Display->Views.
