You'll have to resize windows manually, using the window manager, the `Resize Window' menu entry or by double-clicking on the window background. Changing the size of the icons or which details are displayed will resize the window for you. The filer will resize windows whenever it seems useful (that is, when changing directory or display style). The largest size, as a percentage of the screen size, that the auto-resizer will resize a window to. The largest width, as a percentage of the screen size, that the auto-resizer will resize a window to. Use single letters instead of words for Scanning, All and Thumbs indicators in the titlebar. If you open a directory and that directory is already displayed in another window, then this option causes the other window to be closed. If a directory that is open in a window disappears, (deleted or unmounted) automatically close window. If this is on and you open a directory by middle button, the new window and the source window are toggled into link mode. In link mode, left-click a directory to open it in a window placed to the right of the source window. If this value is off, ctrl + middle button toggles the linked window. Clicking with mouse button 1 (usually the left button) opens a directory in a new window with this turned on. Clicking with the button-2 (middle) will reuse the current window. Clicking on an item opens it with this on. Hold down Control to select the item instead. If off, clicking once selects an item; double click to open things. If on then double clicking on the window background resizes the window, just like clicking on the Automatic size mode button in the toolbar. If this is on then directories will always appear before anything else when sorting by name. If on, all filenames starting with a capital letter come before filenames starting with lowercase ones. If on, the Sort by Dates are reversed. If this is on then files which have one or more extended attributes set will have an emblem added to indicate this. This hides the bar even with the command-line option -u, --user if user is the root.
If this is on then display options for a new window are inherited from the source window if possible, otherwise they are set to the defaults below. If this is on then files whose names start with a dot are shown too, otherwise they are hidden. If this is on then, in addition to files whose names start with a dot, also items listed in ".hidden" file will be treated as hidden. Resolution depends on 'Thumbnails->Cache File Size'.
When automatic icon sizing is selected: If the directory contains this many items then it will be shown using Small Icons, otherwise Large Icons will be used. Text wider than this is broken onto two lines in Large Icons mode. Maximum length for Large Icons mode and Details. This can be changed temporarily by right dragging of the toolbar. If this option is on, file names will wrap by characters instead of words. Maximum width for the text beside a Small Icon. If this option is on, then small icons are arranged in columns, not rows. If this option is on, then large icons are arranged in columns, not rows.
If this is on then column headings will be shown in the list view. If this is on then the full description of each object's type will be show rather than a short summary of its basic type. For lasso. If this is on reordering columns is saved Maximum width for the Name Column. If this is on then Name column will be shown in the list view. If this is on then Type column will be shown in the list view. If this is on then Size column will be shown in the list view. If this is on then Permissions column will be shown in the list view. If this is on then Owner column will be shown in the list view. If this is on then Group column will be shown in the list view. If this is on then Last Modified column will be shown in the list view. If this is on then Last Changed column will be shown in the list view. If this is on then Last Accessed column will be shown in the list view.
Show the number of items displayed in a filer window, as well as the number of hidden items (if any). When there's a selection, show the number of selected items and their combined size. Each filer window is constrained to be wide enough to show the whole of the toolbar When using the `Enter Path...' minibuffer and Tab is pressed, beep if nothing happens (eg, because there are several possibilities and the next letter varies). When using the `Enter Path...' minibuffer and Tab is pressed, beep if there is more than one matching file, even though some more letters were added. This will be run when Mini Shell puts out string to stdout. $1 is the string. This will be run when Mini Shell puts out string to errout. $1 is the string.
This is the default setting for new windows. Use the Display menu to turn thumbnails on and off for individual windows. When no items in a sub-directory have a thumbnail, this process tries to create a thumbnail. If you don't like the choice, visit the sub-directory and middle-click the scan button in the toolbar to choose the first item. Default generator For video/*. 0 is all.
Copy files without confirming first. Move files without confirming first. Create links to files without confirming first. Delete files without confirming first. Mount and unmount filesystems without confirming first. Don't confirm deletion of non-writeable items. Don't display so much information in the message area. Also change contents of subdirectories. Always merge directories. Always over-write if source is newer than destination. Silently ignore if source is older than destination. The command used to mount a filesystem. If unsure, use "mount". The command used to unmount a filesystem. If unsure, use "umount" (yes, without the first "n"). The command used to eject removable media. If unsure, use "eject".
When this is on you can drag a file over a sub-directory or program in a filer window. The item will highlight when you do this and dropping the file will put it into that directory, or load it into the program. This option, which requires the above option to be turned on too, causes the highlighted directory to 'spring open' after the file is held over it for a short while. This option sets how long, in ms, you must hold a file over a directory before it will spring open. The above option must be turned on for this to have any effect. Note that you can still get the menu to appear, by dragging with Alt held down. Note that you can still get the menu to appear, by dragging with the left button and holding down the Alt key. When you drag a file from a web browser or other remote source, this program will be run to download it. $1 is the URI dragged to the filer, and the current directory is the destination. Eg: xterm -e wget $1
Show the File menu instead of the main menu when right-clicking with files selected (the main menu can be accessed by holding down Control). The program to launch when you choose `Terminal Here' from the menu.
Filenames (and details) are coloured according to the file's type. Error, such as a symlink which points to a non-existant file, or a file which the filer does not have permission to examine. Door files are a bit like sockets or pipes, and have only been seen on Solaris. This depends on your environment. Basically if your windows have shadows, then they can also be transparent.
Some older applications don't support XDND fully and may need to have this option turned on. Use this if dragging files to an application shows a + sign on the pointer but the drop doesn't work. If this is on, string width calculations will be faster but less accurate in Small Icons mode. Don't check this if you haven't problems with RAM. When this is on, rox rather than the window manager, handles window move. When this is off, pointer warp on auto-move is disabled. For the overridden auto-move in the auto-resize and the display settings. For the overridden auto-move in the auto-resize and the display settings. Check this if you don't want your mouse pointer to be moved on window shrink/auto-move.
