Explore View Advanced Options
Provides access to advanced options for Explore Views
Allow Explorer Filter to Reactivate When not checked (the default) FileBoss will not reactivate any file filters that were active when FileBoss last closed. The default value prevents the mistake of thinking that all entries in a folder are displayed when in fact they are not.
Automatically open new Explore View When checked (the default) FileBoss will automatically open a new Explore View if all views have been closed. This conveniently prevents you staring at a blank workspace.
Fast Folder Navigation When checked FileBoss will speed up all new Explore Views in Fast Folder Navigation mode. To change the mode for individual Explore Views use Explore | Fast Folder Navigation from the main menu or press Ctrl+K. Fast Folder Mode allows you to navigate down through huge folders containing thousands of files and folders with the frustrating delays normally associated Windows Explorer and other programs. More: Fast Folder Navigation.
Update Latency Controls the lag between an Explore view detecting a change to the current folder and processing the change, i.e. will not process any updates until the latency period has expired since the last change was detected. Having an update latency prevents the system from going nuts when a swarm of files are added, deleted or changed by and outside program. This value should not normally be changed unless you are told to do so by FileBoss support.
Handling Hidden Entries in Saved Virtual Folders
Handling hidden entries when saving Virtual Folders When saving a Virtual Folder to disk hidden entries can be saved as hidden. When reloaded you can have FileBoss keep hidden files hidden, unhide them or ask you what to do. Include Folders in Search for Duplicates
Find Duplicate Folders Too Default is off preventing FileBoss from comparing folders when looking for duplicates as this does not make any sense. It should only be turned on if you are looking for folders with identical names. Location of User Data and the Main Options File
User Data Folder Specifies the default location FileBoss will use to store files you create with FileBoss such as when you save a Virtual Folder or Window List. Typically the default User Data Folder is My Documents\FileBoss Data
Program Data Folder Specifies the default location FileBoss will use to store files it automatically creates and saves such as the main options file and the window list file that is used to restore Explore Views and Virtual Folders when FileBoss re-starts. Note that the specific options file can be set to a different name or even a different folder using the next option. Typically the default Program Data Folder is My Documents\FileBoss Data
Options File Allows you to change the default options file (the file to which FileBoss will load and save its options and settings when it starts and ends. Typically the default options file is My Documents\FileBoss Data\FileBoss.fbopts.
