XFolder can now (V0.70) display folder status bars too. These are highly configurable in
the Global Settings and can also be
switched on and off individually for each folder.
Note: Folder status bars are disabled per default to prevent
side-effects in case you already have software which adds folder status bars. Go to
the Global Settings to turn the XFolder
status bars on, but make sure to disable this feature in other software first; otherwise
results are unpredictable.
Status bars operate in three modes, that is, they can display different information
depending on how many objects are currently selected in the folder container:
- "No-objects mode": this applies when no object is selected at all.
Per default, this displays the
total number of objects in the folder.
- "One-object mode": this applies when exactly one object is selected.
Per default, this displays the title, type and size of the selected object.
- "Multiple-objects mode": this applies when more than one object is selected.
Per default, this displays the number of selected items, the total number of objects in the
folder and the added size of the selected items (as in the above screenshot).
For each of these three modes you may change what will be displayed in the status bars.
This is explained in detail after you press the "Help" button
in the Global Settings.
You may drop fonts and colors from the respective palettes in the OS/2 System Setup
folder. If you drop a font or a color on a status bar, all
currently visible status bars on your system will
be updated. The font and color settings will be saved.
You may also select the general appearance of the status bars
in the Global Settings.
