More Advanced Options

Activating Right-Click Context Help

 

 

These two boxes control if and when right-clicking on a dialog control or menu item will display context help.

To turn context help off check the first box.

Checking the second box will display context help if the Shift key is down when the menu item or control is right-clicked.

Normally there should be no reason to disable right-click help.

Never Allow Text Search as a Default

 

 

Checking this box prevents the Create Virtual Folder dialog from searching for text in files when first invoked no matter how it was set the last time FileBoss was used.

The default is checked so that the FileBoss will not search files for text without you expressly telling it to.

Activating Intelligent Scrolling

 

 

The Intelligent Scrolling option tells FileBoss how to determine which window, Navigation or Contents, when a scroll wheel is turned (such as on a mouse). When checked FileBoss will scroll the Navigation or Contents window depending which window the mouse is hovering over.

Then this option is cleared the window that was last active will be scrolled as is common in most applications.

Maximum Explore Views Allowed

 

 

Determines how many Explore Views FileBoss will allow to be open at one time. When the maximum number of windows is open new operations will use a current Explore View rather than start another.

Drop Timeout on other Applications

 

 

This advanced setting determines how long FileBoss will wait for a receiving application (i.e. an application on which files have been dropped) to respond.

 

When a large number of files are dropped on some applications they will take a long time to process those files before returning control back to FileBoss.

 

This setting determines the number of seconds FileBoss will wait before it displays a message asking you what you would like to.

Copy Engine for Dropped Files

 

 

Select the copy engine you want FileBoss to use when files and folders are dropped onto a folder in either the Navigation or Contents windows.

The Windows copy engine is the same one used by Windows Explorer.

FileBoss's internal copy engine will gracefully handle errors when copying files so that you will have the opportunity to correct problems or finish a copy operation even though some files could not be copied.

To configure the FileBoss copy engine to suit your needs press click the Setup FileBoss Copy button.

 

Note: This setting only affects how FileBoss copies files when they are dropped on FileBoss. If you drag files from FileBoss and drop them on another application that receiving application will handle the copy operation, i.e. FileBoss has no control over how those files will be copied.
