Look & Feel

• Warn on exit: If checked, Krusader displays an "Are you sure?" warning when you try to shut it down; otherwise, it exits without protest.

• Minimize to tray: If checked, when you minimize Krusader, its icon will appear in the system tray instead of the taskbar.

• Autoselect Directories: When you select a group of files (either by using Select Group or by using Select All), Krusader checks this option. If checked, the directories matching the select criteria are also selected. Otherwise, only files are selected.

• Rename selects extension: When you rename a file, the whole text is selected. If you want total commanderlike renaming of just the name, without extension, deselect this item.

• Since Krusader-1.70.0 you need to configure the columns with the right click menu in the panel, not in Konfigurator. The left and right panel use their own columns independently. The following columns are available:

  • Name: Shows the filename without the part after the last dot, this latter part is displayed in the Ext column. When the Ext column is made hidden, the complete filename is shown in the Name column like e.g. Konqueror does.

  • Ext: Shows the last part of the filename (the part after the last dot) in the ext column, and not as a complete filename in the name column like e.g. Konqueror does.

  • Type: Shows the mime type field.

  • Size: Shows the size field.

  • Modified: Shows the modified date and time field.

  • Perms: Shows the full permissions e.g. "rwxr-xr-x" or as octal numbers '0755' instead with enable/disable Numeric Permissions in Look & Feel Operation Tab.

  • rwx: Shows only the rights of the current user e.g. "-rw".

  • Owner: Shows the owner field.

  • Group: Shows the group field.

• Show Hidden files: If checked, Krusader displays the "dot-files" which are otherwise hidden.

• Case Sensitive Sorting: If checked (the UNIX® default), all files beginning with capital letters appear before files beginning with non-capital letters; otherwise, all files beginning with a specified letter (capital or otherwise) appear together.

• Always sort dirs by name: Sorts directories by name, regardless of the sort column.

• Numeric permissions: Permission column (Look & Feel PanelTab) shows octal numbers '0755' instead of 'rwxr-xr-x'.
