The default is Extended select. 104 105 :p. 105 106 The :hp6.Stay in Tree View:ehp6. switch, if checked, causes Directory 106 107 Containers to remain in Tree View (if already in Tree View, of course) 107 108 when you switch the Directory Container to look into a different 108 directory. 109 directory. Otherwise, FM/2 switches the Directory Container back to 109 110 the last used view before you put it into Tree View. 110 111 112 The :hp6.No folder menu:ehp6. switch, if checked, causes a B2 click on the 113 folder icon to immediately load the previous directory in the Directory Container. 114 Otherwise it results in the folder menu appearing. 111 115 112 116 :h3 res=97100 name=PANEL_DCPAGEVIEWS.Directory Container views page … … 114 118 115 119 :artwork name='bitmaps\dir.bmp' align=left. 120 :p. 116 121 This settings page lets you set the type of view that will be used in 117 new Directory Container windows. 122 new Directory Container windows.

Otherwise, FM/2 takes a 267 wild, hairy guess about where you want the extracted files to go 268 (although it'll let you override manually). You can enter "*" as the 269 extract path and FM/2 will use the directory in which the archive 270 resides.

The reason for 334 351 this toggle is to avoid crashing FM/2 if you've installed a buggy MMPM/2 335 I/O procedure. Some desktop "enhancement" programs install such buggy 336 IOProcs. If you can't get it fixed, at least you can work around it 337 (sigh).

You can manually put back some of this functionality using 355 FM/2's :link reftype=hd res=90400.Associations:elink. feature. If you have 356 installed Russel O'Connor's MP3 IOProcs you should uncheck this feature 357 because it results in many non-multimedia programs being identified as 358 multimedia and some multimedia not being identified as such.
