|

| 5 | :p.
|
|---|
| 6 | FM/2 can be configured as you like it using the commands under this
|
|---|
| 7 | submenu. It is highly recommended that you step through the items in
|
|---|
| 8 | this submenu when you first begin to use FM/2, both to familiarize
|
|---|
| 9 | yourself with the available configuration options and to make FM/2
|
|---|
| 10 | work the way you like it to work.
|
|---|
| 11 | :p.
|
|---|
| 12 | To change fonts and colors, FM/2 uses the WPS Font and Color Palettes.
|
|---|
| 13 | The Config menu contains commands to call up these objects for you.
|
|---|
| 14 | :p.
|
|---|
| 15 | This submenu affects general FM/2 behavior. Each class of container has
|
|---|
| 16 | its own configuration menu that allows you to set the type of view,
|
|---|
| 17 | filtering, and so on. To get the popup menu that controls the
|
|---|
| 18 | container's appearance, request a :link reftype=hd res=93700.context
|
|---|
| 19 | menu:elink. while the pointer is over an empty area of the container, or
|
|---|
| 20 | select the Views pulldown submenu.
|
|---|
| 21 | :p.
|
|---|
| 22 | The :hp6.:link reftype=hd res=99400.Toggle quicklists:elink.:ehp6.
|
|---|
| 23 | command causes a dropdown listbox to appear below the toolbar (if one is
|
|---|
| 24 | being used; below the pulldown menu, if one is being used, or titlebar
|
|---|
| 25 | if not) and above other windows. The listbox contains the directory
|
|---|
| 26 | names you've assigned in the :link reftype=hd res=91500.Walk
|
|---|
| 27 | Directories:elink. dialog. If you pick one, a Directory Container for
|
|---|
| 28 | that directory is opened (hold down the Shift key while clicking to
|
|---|
| 29 | change an existing Directory Container instead). If the dropdown listbox
|
|---|
| 30 | is already present, this command causes it to disappear.
|
|---|
| 31 | :p.
|
|---|
| 32 | A Drive Finder dropdown listbox also appears with the quicklist;
|
|---|
| 33 | selecting a drive in this list causes the Drive Tree container to scroll
|
|---|
| 34 | to show the selected drive and make it the current object.
|
|---|
| 35 | :p.
|
|---|
| 36 | Finally, a Setup dropdown list also appears that contains names of
|
|---|
| 37 | setups (Drive Tree location, Directory Container locations and
|
|---|
| 38 | associated directory names). Pick a setup name, and FM/2 reopens and
|
|---|
| 39 | repositions the windows as they were when you saved the setup. A
|
|---|
| 40 | context menu requested on the setup list entry field is used to save and
|
|---|
| 41 | delete setup names. To add a name, enter it in the entry field of the
|
|---|
| 42 | dropdown, request a context menu, and select :hp1.Save state as
|
|---|
| 43 | name:ehp1. To delete a name, put it in the entry field, request a
|
|---|
| 44 | context menu and select :hp1.Delete state name:ehp1.
|
|---|
| 45 | :p.
|
|---|
| 46 | The :hp6.Autoview:ehp6. submenu controls the Autoview window. The
|
|---|
| 47 | default for this conditional cascade menu is the :hp6.Toggle autoview
|
|---|
| 48 | window:ehp6. command, which causes an autoview window to appear above
|
|---|
| 49 | the status line at the bottom of the screen. As you move the cursor
|
|---|
| 50 | from object to object, FM/2 displays the first few lines of file objects
|
|---|
| 51 | in this window. If the autoview window is already displayed, clicking
|
|---|
| 52 | this command causes it to disappear. You can also set the what is to
|
|---|
| 53 | be autoviewed -- either the file's .COMMENTS EA or the start of the
|
|---|
| 54 | file's contents (similar to the *nix HEAD program). When .COMMENTS EAs
|
|---|
| 55 | are being viewed, you can edit them and the changes will be saved when
|
|---|
| 56 | you switch the focus from the Autoview window. You can reach this
|
|---|
| 57 | editable Autoview window with the Ctrl + Tab hotkey if you are allergic
|
|---|
| 58 | to your mouse.
|
|---|
| 59 | :p.
|
|---|
| 60 | Clicking the contents Autoview window with B1 causes the file to be
|
|---|
| 61 | viewed. Clicking with B3 (or chording with B1 and B2 simultaneously)
|
|---|
| 62 | causes the extended attributes to be viewed. If viewing .COMMENTS
|
|---|
| 63 | rather than contents, you can pick :hp1.View file:ehp1. from the
|
|---|
| 64 | context menu.
|
|---|
| 65 | :p.
|
|---|
| 66 | The :hp6.Toggle bottom buttons:ehp6. menu item turns off and on a row of
|
|---|
| 67 | buttons that appear just above the status line(s). The buttons display
|
|---|
| 68 | the name, date, and attributes of the currently selected object, and the
|
|---|
| 69 | filter status of the current container. If clicked with B1, a command
|
|---|
| 70 | is generated (rename, info, edit date/attributes and filter dialog
|
|---|
| 71 | respectively). If clicked with B2, a context menu appears (the same one
|
|---|
| 72 | you get if you click B2 on the first status line). If clicked with B3,
|
|---|
| 73 | the sort changes for the current container: filename, last write date,
|
|---|
| 74 | file size and reverse sort respectively.
|
|---|
| 75 | :p.
|
|---|
| 76 | The :hp6.Toggle drivebar:ehp6. menu item turns off and on a bar showing
|
|---|
| 77 | all available drives. You can click these drive buttons to find or
|
|---|
| 78 | switch to a drive (depending on the active window when the button is
|
|---|
| 79 | clicked), drag objects onto the buttons, request a context menu on a
|
|---|
| 80 | button for more commands dealing with the drive, or click B3 to open a
|
|---|
| 81 | Directory Container for that window (or surface and activate one that
|
|---|
| 82 | already exists).
|
|---|
| 83 | :p.

|
|---|
| 106 | The :hp1.toolbar:ehp1. is a collection of buttons that invoke some of
|
|---|
| 107 | the commands in the pulldown or popup menus. Placing the mouse pointer
|
|---|
| 108 | on a button and pressing and holding B2 displays brief help for the
|
|---|
| 109 | button on the titlebar.
|
|---|
| 110 | :p.
|
|---|
| 111 | Some of the buttons will allow objects to be dragged onto them; for
|
|---|
| 112 | example, you can drag objects onto the trashcan to delete them. Note
|
|---|
| 113 | that the hotspot of the mouse pointer itself should be over the button
|
|---|
| 114 | before releasing, not the icon being dragged (icons are slightly offset
|
|---|
| 115 | from the mouse pointer to give better target visibility). Target
|
|---|
| 116 | emphasis is provided in the form of a black outline around the button,
|
|---|
| 117 | and the arrow pointer turns into a hand when above a toolbox icon.
|
|---|
| 118 | :p.
|
|---|
| 119 | This toolbar submenu is a conditional cascade menu, meaning that if you
|
|---|
| 120 | click other than on the boxed arrow a default command is executed (the
|
|---|
| 121 | toolbar is toggled off and on), but if you click on the boxed arrow you
|
|---|
| 122 | get a submenu of items you can select (the other choices are Text
|
|---|
| 123 | Toolbar, which will cause the toolbar to appear as "normal" buttons with
|
|---|
| 124 | text on them, or Toolbar Titles, which will cause text to appear below
|
|---|
| 125 | the toolbar bitmap buttons).
|
|---|
| 126 | :p.
|
|---|
| 127 | Toolbar buttons are user-configurable. To change the toolbar, click
|
|---|
| 128 | mouse button two (usually the right button) while the mouse pointer is
|
|---|
| 129 | over a button to pop up a context menu. You can get the "Load Toolbox"
|
|---|
| 130 | dialog by clicking B2 on a blank area of the toolbar, and the "Add
|
|---|
| 131 | Button" dialog by chording on a blank area of the toolbar.
|
|---|
| 132 | :p.
|
|---|
| 133 | For advanced/curious users&colon. Information on what buttons are in the
|
|---|
| 134 | toolbar is kept in a file named FM3TOOLS.DAT. This file is an ASCII
|
|---|
| 135 | (plain text) file that contains information defining the toolbar. The
|
|---|
| 136 | file contains comments that explain its format.
|
|---|
| 137 | :p.
|
|---|
| 138 | FM/2 allows you to create customized toolboxes that can be loaded as
|
|---|
| 139 | required to provide toolboxes for specific activities. Although FM/2
|
|---|
| 140 | provides ways to edit the toolbar internally, it's probably easier to
|
|---|
| 141 | load the definition files into a text editor and make the changes
|
|---|
| 142 | manually en masse.
|
|---|
| 143 | :p.
|
|---|
| 144 | If you'd like to see a different toolbar layout (and try out the Load
|
|---|
| 145 | Toolbox command), right-click on the toolbar, pick Load Toolbox from the
|
|---|
| 146 | resultant menu, and pick a toolbox from the listbox. Then you might try
|
|---|
| 147 | creating your own and saving it with the Save Toolbox command.
|
|---|
| 148 | :p.

| 163 | This dialog, accessed from the context menu of a tool button, allows you
|

| 164 | to rearrange the order of the toolbar's tool buttons. You take selected
|
|---|
| 165 | items from the left listbox and Add them to the end of the right listbox
|

|
|---|
| 168 | change your mind.
|
|---|
| 169 | :p.
|
|---|
| 170 | In reality, you don't need to move everything to the right listbox. You
|
|---|
| 171 | can move only what you want moved to the top of the list, then click
|
|---|
| 172 | Okay. Anything remaining in the left listbox is added to the end of
|

| 173 | what's in the right listbox.
|
|---|
| 174 | :p.
|
|---|
| 175 | The :hp1.<<Remove:ehp1. button can be used to move selected items from

|

| 184 | :p.
|
|---|
| 185 | The :hp1.Help:ehp1. field should contain text to remind you what the
|
|---|
| 186 | button's command does. For example, a button that deletes files and
|
|---|
| 187 | directories might have help reading "Delete files and directories".
|
|---|
| 188 | :p.
|
|---|
| 189 | The :hp1.Text:ehp1. field should contain very brief text that will be
|
|---|
| 190 | placed on the button (if the tool id has no bitmap associated with it).
|
|---|
| 191 | :p.
|
|---|
| 192 | The :hp1.Droppable:ehp1. checkbox determines if the tool can have objects
|
|---|
| 193 | dropped on it or not. See list below.
|
|---|
| 194 | :p.
|
|---|
| 195 | The :hp1.Visible:ehp1. checkbox determines if the tool is visible or not.
|
|---|
| 196 | :p.
|
|---|
| 197 | If the :hp1.Separator:ehp1. checkbox is checked, FM/2 puts a bit of
|
|---|
| 198 | whitespace after the button (separates it from the next button).
|
|---|
| 199 | :p.
|
|---|
| 200 | If you check the :hp1.User-defined bmp:ehp1. checkbox, FM/2 will allow
|
|---|
| 201 | you to use your own bitmap. Bitmaps are named after the :hp1.ID:ehp1.
|
|---|
| 202 | of the button -- for example, the bitmap file for ID 1005 would be named
|
|---|
| 203 | "1005.bmp". Clicking the :hp1.Edit bmp:ehp1. button will cause ICONEDIT
|
|---|
| 204 | to be loaded with the bitmap, ready to edit. (Note that bitmaps should
|
|---|
| 205 | be 28 x 28.)
|
|---|
| 206 | :p.
|
|---|
| 207 | The :hp1.ID:ehp1. field identifies the command that is associated with
|
|---|
| 208 | this button. See the :link reftype=hd res=96401.Tool IDs:elink. topic.

|

|
|---|
| 219 | The :hp1.Help:ehp1. field should contain text to remind you what the
|

| 221 | directories might have help reading "Delete files and directories".
|

|
|---|
| 223 | The :hp1.Text:ehp1. field should contain very brief text that will be

|
|---|
| 234 | If you check the :hp1.User-defined bmp:ehp1. checkbox, FM/2 will allow
|

| 235 | you to use your own bitmap. Bitmaps are named after the :hp1.ID:ehp1.
|
|---|
| 236 | of the button -- for example, the bitmap file for ID 1005 would be named
|
|---|
| 237 | "1005.bmp". Clicking the :hp1.Edit bmp:ehp1. button will cause ICONEDIT
|
|---|
| 238 | to be loaded with the bitmap, ready to edit.
|
|---|
| 239 | :p.
|
|---|
| 240 | The :hp1.ID:ehp1. field should be assigned a number that tells FM/2 what

|

| 300 | :p.
|
|---|
| 301 | Note&colon. Toolbox buttons on a toolbar cause the appropriate toolbox
|
|---|
| 302 | to be loaded from QUICKTLS.DAT (one filename per line, blank lines and
|
|---|
| 303 | lines beginning with ";" ignored). The file named on the first line is

|
|---|
| 307 | This list isn't complete; ask me if you'd like a command added that

|
|---|
| 313 |
|
|---|
| 314 | FM/2 allows you to save toolboxes (groups of tools) for later recall
|
|---|
| 315 | with the :link reftype=hd res=94500.Load Toolbox:elink. command.
|
|---|
| 316 | :p.
|
|---|
| 317 | Type the name of the file to hold the toolbox definitions into the entry
|
|---|
| 318 | field below the listbox, or select a file displayed in the listbox (it
|
|---|
| 319 | will be overwritten). FM/2 saves the toolbox definitions into the file.
|
|---|
| 320 | :p.
|
|---|
| 321 | The files are given an extension of &period.TLS if you don't specify an
|
|---|
| 322 | extension. The listbox shows files in the FM/2 directory that have the
|
|---|
| 323 | extension .TLS (which is my way of suggesting that you follow this
|
|---|
| 324 | convention).

| 326 | :h3 res=94500 name=PANEL_LOADTOOLS.Load Toolbox
|

| 327 | :i1 id=aboutLoadTools.Load Toolbox
|
|---|
| 328 |
|
|---|
| 329 | FM/2 allows you to load toolboxes (groups of tools) which were saved
|
|---|
| 330 | with the :link reftype=hd res=94000.Save Toolbox:elink. command.
|
|---|
| 331 | :p.
|
|---|
| 332 | Type the name of the file that holds the toolbox definitions into the
|
|---|
| 333 | entry field below the listbox, or select a file displayed in the
|
|---|
| 334 | listbox. FM/2 loads the toolbox definitions from the file and updates
|
|---|
| 335 | the toolbar.
|
|---|
| 336 | :p.
|
|---|
| 337 | This allows you to have groups of specific-purpose buttons which you can
|
|---|
| 338 | load for different types of activities. You don't have to use it, but
|
|---|
| 339 | it's there if you would like to do so.
|
|---|
| 340 | :p.
|
|---|
| 341 | Clicking :hp1.Okay:ehp1. without typing in or selecting a filename
|
|---|
| 342 | results in FM/2 reloading the default toolbox from FM3TOOLS.DAT.
|
|---|
| 343 | :p.
|
|---|
| 344 | If I may, here's how I'd recommend using this facility&colon.
|
|---|
| 345 | :p.
|
|---|
| 346 | First, save the full toolbar under a new name (perhaps ALL.TLS). Next,
|
|---|
| 347 | delete any buttons that you don't want in your customized toolbar.
|
|---|
| 348 | Finally, add any Command buttons that you do want in the customized
|
|---|
| 349 | toolbar and save the new toolbox (as <something>.TLS). By starting with
|
|---|
| 350 | the full toolbar, you'll spend more of your time deleting buttons you
|
|---|
| 351 | don't want (a trivial task) and less adding buttons.
|
|---|
| 352 |
|
|---|
| 353 | :h2 res=99980 name=PANEL_FLAGS.Drive flags
|
|---|
| 354 | :i1 id=aboutFlags.Drive flags
|
|---|
| 355 |
|
|---|
| 356 | Here you can set flags for various drives. Command line switches
|
|---|
| 357 | override these flags. The flags are stored in FM/2's INI file and
|
|---|
| 358 | loaded when FM/2 starts, so this is an alternative to all the
|
|---|
| 359 | esoteric drive command line switches :hp1.except:ehp1. the
|
|---|
| 360 | :hp2.Ignore:ehp2. switch.
|
|---|
| 361 | :p.
|
|---|
| 362 | :hp6.No prescan:ehp6. Setting this causes FM/2 to :hp1.not:ehp1.
|
|---|
| 363 | pre-scan removable drives. You have to double-click the drive
|
|---|
| 364 | before it's checked to see if it has any subdirectories. This is
|
|---|
| 365 | handy for those of you with CD carousels.
|
|---|
| 366 | :p.
|
|---|
| 367 | :hp6.Don't load icons:ehp6. Prevents FM/2 from loading icons for
|
|---|
| 368 | files and directories on this drive. If the drive contains only
|
|---|
| 369 | DOS programs and data files or is a very slow drive, you might
|
|---|
| 370 | want to check this one.
|
|---|
| 371 | :p.
|
|---|
| 372 | :hp6.Don't load subjects:ehp6. Prevents .SUBJECT EAs from being
|
|---|
| 373 | automatically loaded on this drive. Again, if your drive is slow or you
|
|---|
| 374 | don't use .SUBJECTs with objects on this drive, you might want to check
|
|---|
| 375 | it.
|
|---|
| 376 | :p.
|
|---|
| 377 | :hp6.Don't load longnames:ehp6. Prevents .LONGNAME EAs from being
|
|---|
| 378 | automatically loaded on this drive. You've got the idea by now,
|
|---|
| 379 | right?
|
|---|
| 380 | :p.
|
|---|
| 381 | :hp6.Slow drive:ehp6.. Check this for drives which have extremely slow
|
|---|
| 382 | seek times (like ZIP and EZ removable hard drives). The Autoview window
|
|---|
| 383 | and associated messages are disabled for this drive, and the "Quick Arc
|
|---|
| 384 | find" method is always used, whether on globally or not, which snaps up
|
|---|
| 385 | response time. I may take other shortcuts for drives with this attribute
|
|---|
| 386 | later (loosen error checking). For such slow drives you may also want
|
|---|
| 387 | to check the various :hp1.Don't load...:ehp1. flags listed above.
|
|---|
| 388 | :p.
|
|---|
| 389 | :hp6.Include files in tree:ehp6. If you check this, files will be shown
|
|---|
| 390 | as well as directories in the Drive Tree for this drive. I have no
|
|---|
| 391 | idea why you would ever want to check this.
|
|---|
| 392 | :p.
|
|---|
| 393 | You get this dialog by selecting Edit->Drive flags from a context menu
|
|---|
| 394 | requested on a drive (root directory) in the Drive Tree or VTree window.
|
|---|
| 395 | :p.
|
|---|
| 396 | Note&colon. To set the drive flags on a removable drive, like a floppy
|
|---|
| 397 | or CD-ROM, be sure you put a disk in the drive first. FM/2 won't let
|
|---|
| 398 | you set drive flags on a currently invalid disk.

|

| 402 | :i1 id=aboutTargetDir.Set Target directory
|
|---|
| 403 |
|
|---|
| 404 | You can set a default Target directory with the :hp6.Set Target
|
|---|
| 405 | directory:ehp6. command, which FM/2 will use whenever you use the menu
|
|---|
| 406 | or accelerator key commands to move or copy file system objects.
|
|---|
| 407 | Otherwise, FM/2 will attempt to intelligently guess what you'd like the
|
|---|
| 408 | target directory to be each time based on open Directory Containers or
|
|---|
| 409 | the currently selected directory in the Drive Tree.
|
|---|
| 410 | :p.
|
|---|
| 411 | If you have a Target directory already set and wish to clear it,
|
|---|
| 412 | select this command, click Cancel at the :link reftype=hd res=91500.Walk
|
|---|
| 413 | Directories:elink. dialog that appears, and answer Yes to the question
|
|---|
| 414 | subsequently asked.
|
|---|
| 415 | :p.
