General Options

 

Prompt to Save Altered Document on Close

When checked will ask you each time whether or not to save an altered Virtual Folder document whenever you attempt to close it.

When not checked you must remember to save any changes you have made to Virtual Folder before attempting to close them.

Silent Mode (No Beeps, Whistles or Yahoos)

When checked all noises FileBoss may make are suppressed.

When not checked FileBoss will beep from time to time when a mouse is clicked in the wrong place or an error balloon or message is displayed.

Automatically save changed Images (refers to the Image Viewer Window)

When checked and an image has been changed in the image viewer - typically rotated one way or another - FileBoss will save the image automatically before loading another image.

When not checked you will be prompted to save any changes that have been made.

Always On Top

When checked FileBoss will always be on top of all other applications possibly hiding them from view even when you are not working in FileBoss.

When not checked FileBoss will act like a normal window.

Checking this box is the same as using the 'View | Always On Top' command from the main menu or clicking the command's button .

Auto Locate Entries (applies to Virtual Folders only)

When checked the Contents Window (the right window pane in Virtual Folders) will be linked to the folder list in the left window pane so that whenever an entry is highlighted on the right side the list of folders on the left side will be scrolled to that folder.

Note that this setting is only used when the Virtual Folder is sorted by its Path.

Set Actions for Touching Files

Opens the dialog where you can setup what actions to take when Touching () files and folders such as setting archive bits and file times.

This same dialog can be displayed using the Actions | Touch Setup... command from the main menu, pressing Ctrl-F9 or by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking the Touch command button ().

Toolbar Size

 

 

Small - 16 x 16 pixels

Large - 24 x 24 pixels

 

The size of the toolbars is dependent on the size of the buttons. FileBoss ship with two sizes of buttons, 16 x 16 pixels and 24 x 24. When FileBoss runs for the first time on a new computer it determines which size buttons to use based on the size and resolution of the screen.  But you can switch the size at anytime.

You can also change the toolbar size using the Tools | Toolbar | Size > menu or right-click on any toolbar and select the appropriate size from the popup menu.
