<p>Introduction to Directory Hotlist</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="definition">1.1. Definition</a></h3>
<p>A Directory Hotlist is a usable list of directories you are using the most often.<BR>
It creates nothing on the disk, it's simply like a list of shortcuts to quickly access the "hot" directories.<BR>
By using them to jump to a directory, you won't play the monkey jumping continuously to a branch to another in your directory tree.<BR>
Also, for the important directories you don't want to forget, it's good to have an area to have shortcuts pointing on them.<BR>
Even if you don't go in them often, you'll save time when will be the time to jump in them because you won't search them if you added them in the Directory Hotlist.
</p>
</div>
<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#topofpage">on top</a></p>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="overview">1.2. Overview</a></h3>
<p>From the main panel, you may see the Directory Hotlist as a popup menu.<BR>
You click on one of the entry and it will immediately bring you in one shot to the associated defined directly.<BR>
You won't have to browse to a folder to another to reach that target.<BR>

<h2><a name="usage">2. Directory Hotlist Usage</a></h2>
<p>Here follows common actions related with Directory Hotlist</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="access">2.1. How to access Directory Hotlist</a></h3>
<p>
From the menu bar you select "<B>Commands</b>" and then "<B>Directory Hotlist</b>".<BR>
It appears like a popup menu where you click the item and it brings you to the directory defined by the entry you've set.
</p>
</div>
<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#topofpage">on top</a></p>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="otheraccess">2.2. Other way to access Directory Hotlist</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><p>You may click the button with a star on it on top right of the active file panel.</p></li>
<li><p>You may also set a toolbar button associated with the internal command "<B>cm_dirhotlist</b>".</p></li>
<li><p>You may double click on the title bar of the active frame to make it popup, which is the one the author of these lines prefers.</p></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#topofpage">on top</a></p>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="configure">2.3. How to configure the Directory Hotlist</a></h3>
<p>
From the menu bar you may select "<B>Configuration</b>" and then "<B>Directory Hotlist</b>"<BR>
The tree you see there will show the same thing as what you will see in your popup Directory Hotlist from the main panel.<BR>
But instead of seeing it on the form of a popup menu, you see it as a tree with many functions to edit, move, etc. as you can see in this help document.<BR>
<img class="LARGEIMAGE" title="Configuration" alt="Configuration" src="images/imgDC/dirhot_configure.png" width="903" height="566" style="border:1px solid lightgray">
</p>
</div>
<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#topofpage">on top</a></p>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="otherconfigure">2.4. Other ways to access the configuration of the Directory Hotlist</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><p>At the bottom end of the Directory Hotlist popup menu, there is always a menu shortcut to bring you to the Directory Hotlist configuration screen.</p></li>
<li><p>You may add a tool button with command "cm_configdirhotlist".</p></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="addentry">2.5. How to add a directory to the Directory Hotlist</a></h3>
<p>
The simplest way is this:<BR>
</p>
<ul>
<li><p>1. In the active panel, go inside the directory you want to add.</p></li>
<li><p>2. Then make appear the Directory Hotlist (by accessing menu "<B>Commands</b>" - <B>Directory Hotlist</b> for example)</p></li>
<li><p>3. The click "<B>Add dir: your_dir_name</b>".</p></li>
<li><p>4. Once you've done that, it shows you the Directory Hotlist configuration screen confirming you the directory has been added.</p></li>
<li><p>5. Focus will be on it to help you see which one it is.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>
<img class="LARGEIMAGE" title="Add an entry" alt="Add an entry" src="images/imgDC/dirhot_addentry.png" width="826" height="396" style="border:1px solid lightgray">
</p>
<p>
Later we'll see there is also much more ways to add entry to Directory Hotlist.
</p>
</div>
<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#topofpage">on top</a></p>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="personalize">2.6. Personalize the new added entry in the Directory Hotlist</a></h3>
<p>
By default, when adding a directory to the Directory Hotlist, the entry name will be the name of the last directory name.<BR>
But if you want, you can rename it. Simply select the field "<B>Name</b>" and then type an easy remembered reference name.<BR>
In this example, the folder name is "doc" but the name given to the entry is "Documentation"<BR>
This is also how you will see it in the Directory Hotlist popup menu.<BR>

<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#topofpage">on top</a></p>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="settarget">2.7. Setting the target as well</a></h3>
<p>
Not only you can add the directory to switch to, but you may also select the "<B>Target Directory</b>", the one that will be in the inactive panel when in the main window.<BR>
So for common repetitive actions over time when you need to copy stuff from directory "A" to directory "B", from which ever folder you might be before, you will simply select it from the Directory Hotlist menu item and it will set both side to the defined directories, ready for the action.<BR>
To define the target directory to be when selecting the Directory Hotlist entry, simply set the field "<B>Target</b>".<BR>
The following example shows the "Directory A" with "Directory B" as target as suggested here.<BR>
<img class="LARGEIMAGE" title="Set the target" alt="Set the target" src="images/imgDC/dirhot_settarget.png" width="860" height="312" style="border:1px solid lightgray">

<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="definesort">2.8. Define the sort order after directory change</a></h3>
<p>
At the end of the "<B>Path</b>" and "<B>Target</b>" fields for an entry, you have drop box.<BR>
Use this drop box when you want to predetermine what needs to be the sort order of the panel when selecting the Directory Hotlist entry.<BR>
So if you set it to "<B>Date 9-0</b>", when you will use the Directory Hotlist, it will not only move the active path to the one defined, but no matter how the panel was sorted before, it will sort it in reverse chronological order.<BR>
Let this field to "none" if you don't want selecting a new path from the Directory Hotlist change anything.<BR>
<img class="LARGEIMAGE" title="Define directory sort" alt="Define directory sort" src="images/imgDC/dirhot_definesort.png" width="440" height="211" style="border:1px solid lightgray">

<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="helperpath">2.9. Helper with path and target definition</a></h3>
<p>
Certainly you may work with absolute path and it will work fine on THIS machine.<BR>
But let's suppose you have Double Commander with numerous other tools on you Swiss-knife USB memory stick.<BR>
You may want to have relative path for portable installation.<BR>
I mean here relative to Double Commander path for example.<BR>
So you may have this path "<B>E:\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\Data\Config\</b>" and it works fine.<BR>
But you may also make it relative to current "Double Commander" current path and have this "<B>%commander_path%\..\..\Notepad++Portable\Data\Config\</b>"<BR>
To help you to figure what to type (in other words how many "..\" to use!), on right side of the "<B>path</b>" and "<B>target</b>" field, you have a little button that brings up a popup menu with various related little tools to edit and arrange the path the way you wish.<BR>
But this is just one of the possible use of that button.<BR>
Here is a complete summary of what you'll find there:<BR>
</p>
<ul>
<li><p><B>Use Double Commander special path</b> - To point directly executable path, the configuration path, etc.</p></li>
<li><p><B>Use Windows special folder (TC)</b> - For Microsoft Windows flavor, will allow to point windows-related path, compatible with TC variable name</p></li>
<li><p><B>Use other Windows special folder</b> - Same as above but new one, not present in TC</p></li>
<li><p><B>Use environment variable</b> - Certainly some value are not really valid and useful there but for the ones that might be, let's use them!</p></li>
<li><p><B>Use hotdir path</b> - This is pure versatility: you may add a Directory Hotlist... from the Directory Hotlist!</p></li>
<li><p><B>Make relative to...</b> - Same thing for each of the above BUT instead of straight ADDING the path, it will make the current written one relative to the one you select.</p></li>
<li><p><B>Make path absolute</b> - To do the opposite: when you have a path relative, it will bring it to its absolute form.</p></li>
<li><p><B>Add path from active frame</b> - The path that will be added will be directly the one from the main panel, from the active frame.</p></li>
<li><p><B>Add path from inactive frame</b> - Same as above but as stated, from the inactive frame.</p></li>
<li><p><B>Browse and use selected path</b> - Will open you a directory browser where you can select the directory you want, simply.</p></li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="changeorder">2.10. Changing the order of the entries</a></h3>
<p>
With time, the Directory Hotlist may grow and comes large and not ordered the way you want.<BR>
You may re-arrange the order simply by dragging-and-dropping the selected entry to a new position that makes more sense to you.<BR>
By using the "<B>CTRL</b>" key on the keyboard, you may select and move more than one at the time as well.
</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="cutandpaste">2.11. Using "cut" and "paste" to also re-arrange order</a></h3>
<p>
If you have a very long list of directories, the drag-and-drop method might not be suitable because source and destination are too far apart.<BR>
If so, you may select the one you want to move, then right click on it and select "<B>cut</b>".<BR>
Then you scroll the list to see the target position you want to place the entry and you select the position.<BR>
Then you right click and click "<B>Paste</b>" to paste there the entry you selected first.
By using the "<B>CTRL</b>" key, you may select more than ones at the time to do the cut-and-paste.<BR>

<h3><a name="organizetree">2.12. Organizing entries in tree</a></h3>
<p>
If you're a fanatic of Directory Hotlist like the author of these lines, having a one-dimensional list of Directory Hotlist will not be enough!<BR>
So to the rescue, Double Commander offers you to organize sub menus in your Directory Hotlist.<BR>
More than that, you may have submenus inside a submenu.<BR>
This means you may really configure yourself a well organize Directory Hotlist.<BR>
To add a submenu, simply place the selection where you wish to have the submenu, right-click and select "<B>Add a submenu</b>".<BR>
It will create a submenu named "Submenu name" with inside one entry name "Hotdir name".<BR>
Obviously, with the fields below you may give a significant name to the submenu.<BR>
From there, you may add new entry, move other entries inside that new submenu, etc.<BR>
Please note you may move submenu and you may cut-and-paste a submenu which make your life simpler in rearranging your Directory Hotlist.<BR>

<h3><a name="addseperator">2.13. Adding separators to help in clarity</a></h3>
<p>
Having many entries one after the other is nice but by adding some separator to isolate category of directories from another might be a good thing.<BR>
So to add a separator, simply place the cursor where you want the separator, right click and do "<B>Add a separator</b>".<BR>
In the configuration Directory Hotlist tree, it will show you a line with dots but once in the main panel with the Directory Hotlist popup, you'll see a nice menu separator.<BR>

<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="sorting">2.14. Sorting the entries</a></h3>
<p>
As described above, with the drag-and-drop and the cut-and-paste, you can certainly re-arrange the Directory Hotlist entries the way you wish.<BR>
But if you agree to work with alphabetical name, you may use the included sort functions.<BR>
The idea of the sort is simple: place the current selection where you want to sort and then select the sort function you want by pressing the "<B>Sort...</b>" button that will bring up a popup menu.<BR>
The five available choices gives you all the latitude you may wish on this matter:
</p>
<ul>
<li><p><B>Single group of item(s) only</b> - will sort the area next to the current selected item. By "area" it means the entries comprises between two separators, start of a menu or end of a menu.</p></li>
<li><p><B>Current level of item(s) selected only</b> - not only the area where the current selection is but also the siblings on the same branch. It will do the sort but respect the entries area so an item from a group will bot cross a separator you may have.</p></li>
<li><p><B>Content of submenu(s) selected, no sublevel</b> - Will sort the immediate "childs" of a submenu you may have selected but will not go into possible other submenus in it to sort them.</p></li>
<li><p><B>Content of submenu(s) selected and all sublevels</b> - Idem to previous mentioned one but this time will also sort all the submenus inside that branch.</p></li>
<li><p><B>Everything, from A to Z!</b> - Ahhh! The favorite of the author of these lines: like the name suggest it, will simply sort everything but still respecting the area of each so will not move item from a branch to another.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>
Like written earlier, any sort will not move an item to go over a separator.<BR>
Just to make sure you see the meaning of not crossing a separator when doing a sort, see the following example.<BR>
The "Root" folder will always remain above the other after the sort *because* there is a separator there.<BR>
The separators are really useful for this matter.<BR>
Not only it makes things more clear, it is useful as delimiter when doing sort!<BR>

<h3><a name="backup">3.1. Backup the Directory Hotlist</a></h3>
<p>
As your Directory Hotlist grows in quantity of directory shortcuts, you may want to backup it "just in case" an accident happens to don't lose these valuable links.<BR>
To do that, on right of configuration screen you have a button named "<B>Backup</b>".<BR>
Press on it and in the menu select "<B>Save a backup of the current Directory Hotlist</b>".<BR>
It will then save the current list into a file into a "Backup" folder present into the Double Commander defined config directory.<BR>
The number of entry saved will be written as with the resulting file name, which will include the date and time of the Directory Hotlist.<BR>
Please also note the extension of the file which is ".hotlist".<BR>

From the file requester that will appear, select the backup you want to restore.<BR>
When you restore a backup, it will first erase the current Directory Hotlist and then add the ones from the backup file.<BR>
If you just want to restore just certain entries from the backup file, you may do "<B>Import</b>" and point the backup file.<BR>
The system will then prompt you to indicate which entries from the backup file you want to restore.<BR>

<h3><a name="exportimportsimple">3.3. Exporting/Importing a Directory Hotlist (or part of it)</a></h3>
<p>
If you have more than a computer, or if you have a fellow accessing the same servers as you, you may want to be able to export your Directory Hotlist, or part of it, so on the other computer you'll have the same directory shortcuts without having to enter them one by one.<BR>
To do that, first click the button "<B>Export</b>" and then select "<B>...to a Directory Hotlist file (.hotlist)</b>".<BR>
It will then prompt you to enter the filename and file location of the export file you want to create.<BR>
Then you will be asked to select what you want to export.<BR>
You may export the whole tree or you may select the entries one by one.<BR>
You may select a whole submenu also by selecting the submenu name without having to select the entries inside.<BR>
Please use "<B>CTRL</b>" key on the keyboard while clicking to select the different entries you want to export.<BR>
<BR>
Then, on the other computer, you will click the "<B>Import</b>" button and then select the menu item "<B>from a Directory Hotlist file (.hotlist)</b>".<BR>
From the file requester, point the file to import.<BR>
Similar as with the export, you may import the whole thing but you're also offered to select specific entries you want to import.<BR>
The entries you import will be added at the end of yours.

<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="exportimporttc">3.4. Exporting/Importing to/from Total Commander</a></h3>
<p>
Double Commander may also export/import Directory Hotlist to/from the one of Total Commander.<BR>
Let's suppose you want to import some entries from Total Commander, here is what to do.<BR>
From the Directory Hotlist configuration screen, click the "<B>Import...</b>" button and select "<B>...from "wincmd.ini</b>" of TC"<BR>
Then select in the file requester the location of the "wincmd.ini" file of your Total Commander.<BR>
If you don't know where is that file, in Total Commander, click the "<B>Help</b>" menu and then click "<B>About Total Commander...</b>".<BR>
The location of the .INI file will be written there.<BR>
Then will appear a tree with the directory entries that has been read from the Total Commander .ini file.<BR>
From that tree you may import ALL the entries or you may select them one by one, as you wish.<BR>
Please use "<B>CTRL</b>" key on the keyboard while clicking to select the different entries you want to import.<BR>
The entries you import will be added at the end of yours.<BR>
<img class="LARGEIMAGE" title="Import from TC" alt="Import from TC" src="images/imgDC/dirhot_importfromtc.png" width="759" height="591" style="border:1px solid lightgray"><BR>
Then, as a reverse operation, you may export all or part of your Double Commander Directory Hotlist to the Total Commander's one.<BR>
To do that, click the "<B>Export...</b>" button and select one of the two possible exportations to Total Commander.<BR>
If you know what you're doing and accept to replace the whole entries of Total Commander's Directory Hotlist, you may select "<B>to a "wincmd.ini" of TC (erase existing)</b>".<BR>
And again here, you may select if you want to export the whole thing or just select the ones you want to export.<BR>
Please use "<B>CTRL</b>" key on the keyboard while clicking to select the different entries you want to export.<BR>
Maybe you should have Total Commander closed when you do that and then re-open Total Commander after and see what've got.<BR><BR>
Total Commander does not offer you easy ways to structure and sort easily your entries of the Directory Hotlist as Double Commander does.<BR>
So you may import your Total Commander's Directory Hotlist to Double Commander, then re-arrange it, sort it, structure it, etc. and then export it back to Total Commander!<BR>
</p>
<p>
<B>*Note: Effort and tests has been made to make sure application will not corrupt the Total Commander configuration .INI file.</b><BR>
<B>But certainly backuping it prior to export to it some entries would be a good practice and is encouraged.</b><BR>
<B>Obviously you're doing this at your own risk!</b><BR>
<B>...a risk to discover a nice program like Double Commander!'</b><BR>

<h3><a name="scanpresence">3.5. Scan the Directory Hotlist to find missing directories</a></h3>
<p>
With time, it might happen you Directory Hotlist would have entries pointing to directory that would not exist anymore.<BR>
To find these entries, in the Directory Hotlist configuration screen, click the button labeled "<B>Miscellaneous</b>"<BR>
Then select "<B>Scan all hotdir's path to validate the ones that actually exist</b>".<BR>
This will allow make the application to scan the all the directories your shortcuts are pointing.<BR>
If one is missing, a missing icon will be shown on left of the entry.<BR>
Submenu branch with at least one missing entry will also shows a special icon showing an entry is missing.<BR>
<img class="LARGEIMAGE" title="Scan for actual presence or not" alt="Scan for actual presence or not" src="images/imgDC/dirhot_scanexist.png" width="543" height="502" style="border:1px solid lightgray">
</p>
<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#topofpage">on top</a></p>
<p>
So from there you may either erase the entries since their pointing directory that don't exist anymore or keep them.<BR>
Why keeping them? Simple. In a context where Double Commander would be used on a USB memory stick to a computer to another,<BR>
it might be totally normal to have directories that won't exist on a computer that were existing on the previous one.<BR>
But if so, how does the "<B>Scan all hotdir's path to validate the ones that actually exist</b>" function will help you?<BR>
It's because by doing this, it will also remove these entries from the Directory Hotlist popup menu from the main panel.<BR>
These entries referring to non-existing folder won't be shown!<BR>
They won't be erased permanently from the Directory Hotlist internal list.<BR>
They will simply not be shown from the popup menu for the session.<BR>
See the result of the previous example.<BR>

<h3><a name="addingmanyatthetime">3.6. Adding more than one directory at the time to Directory Hotlist</a></h3>
<p>
When setuping your Directory Hotlist for a new situation, it might happen you would like to add many directories at once to the Directory Hotlist.<BR>
There are two ways you can do that.<BR><BR>
</p>
<p>
<B>First method: directly from the main frame with the selection</b><BR>
This is easy: you simply select the directories you want to add, you invoke the Directory Hotlist popup menu and you select at the end of it "<B>Add x selected directories</b>".<BR>
The directories will be added to the configured addition position.<BR>
If you're configured to add via the "<B>smart</b>" method, it's nice to see how well they are placed!<BR>
<img class="LARGEIMAGE" title="Add more than one at once" alt="Add more than one at once" src="images/imgDC/dirhot_addmanyatonce.png" width="969" height="487" style="border:1px solid lightgray">
</p>
<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#topofpage">on top</a></p>
<p>
<B>Second method: similar to first one but with the Directory Hotlist configuration window and main panel shown simultaneously</b><BR>
This is also easy: you first invoke the Directory Hotlist configuration window.<BR>
Then you place your selection where you want the new directories where you want them to be added.<BR>
You then press the "<B>Add</b>" or "<B>Insert</b>" button and click "<B>Current selected or active directories of active frame</b>"<BR>
You will see them added or inserted and ready to be sorted, renamed and arranged to your wishes.<BR>
</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="directconfig">3.8. No switch on inactive frame even if target is configured</a></h3>
<p>
That one is almost an hidden feature.<BR>
As presented in <a href="#settarget">point 2.7 of this page</a>, you might have configured the Directory Hotlist entry to also switch the directory of the inactive frame to switch to a specified target directory.<BR>
But sometimes, it might be desirable to don't have the target folder to switch but only the main active frame.<BR>
You may avoid this by this little trick: having the "<B>CTRL</b>" key on the keyboard pressed when you click the shortcut in the Directory Hotlist popup menu.<BR>
If the "<B>CTRL</b>" key is hold press at the moment you click the shortcut, only the active frame will switch, the target won't.<BR>
</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="directconfig">3.8. Directly configure an entry from popup menu</a></h3>
<p>
That one also is almost an hidden feature.<BR>
As you are in browsing in the Directory Hotlist popup menu, it happen you see a typo you wish to correct or something that is not organize the way you want.<BR>
Certainly you can then click lower to go in the configuration, search in the tree where it was, and then proceed to your correction.<BR>
But there is a little trick to do better, quicker and simpler.<BR>
While in the Directory Hotlist popup menu, have the "<B>SHIFT</b>" key on the keyboard pressed when you click the menu item where you wish to directly go in the configuration window to configure to your taste.<BR>
If the "<B>SHIFT</b>" key is hold press at the moment you click the shortcut, DC will bring you to the configuration screen with the selection ready to be edited to your wish.<BR>
You won't have to search for it in the list!<BR>
</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="showpopup">3.9. Show complete path in popup menu</a></h3>
<p>
In the Directory Hotlist configuration screen there is a checkbox called "<B>In popup, show[path also]</b>".<BR>
This option, when checked, will instruct Double Commander to show directly in the popup entry the complete path where the shortcut is pointing.<BR>
So you'll see not only the hotdir name you gave, but it will show also the full path where it will jump if you click.<BR>
That one might be annoying since it adds a lot of text on screen and we might be tired to see this.<BR>
But in some circumstances, especially with the special dirs regarding the windows defined directories and also the environment variables pointing directories.<BR>
It's nice to have a direct overview to where each one is pointing.<BR>
<img class="LARGEIMAGE" title="Show full path" alt="Show full path" src="images/imgDC/dirhot_showfullpath.png" width="650" height="596" style="border:1px solid lightgray">
</p>
</div>
<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#topofpage">on top</a></p>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="smartenv">3.10. Keep only environment variables that look like a directory</a></h3>
<p>
In the "Special Dirs" section of the Directory Hotlist popup menu, you'll see you can have environment variables.<BR>
It's not necessary ALL the variables that are in fact a directory.<BR>
In the Directory Hotlist Configuration, you may check the option "<B>Show only valid %env_var%</b>".<BR>
When this option is checked, DC will try to eliminate from the menu the environment variable that looks like a valid path, at least for the beginning of it.<BR>
It will not necessary search and validate if path is actually present to don't slow down for no real need, but will quickly eliminate the obvious non-pertinent ones<BR>.
</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT1">
<h2><a name="otherfunctions">4. Other functions</a></h2>
<p>There are maybe some other little possibilities and function with the Double Commander Directory Hotlist feature that are present in the application and not describe here.<BR>
It's hard (and sometimes annoying even if still necessary) to keep up to date a help file like this.<BR>
But certainly you'll figure most of it and this help section at least cover the most important points of the matter.</p>

<h2>1. Common questions</h2>
<p class="bold"><a name="whatisit">Q: What is Double Commander?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> Double Commander is a cross-platform file manager with two panels.
Details see <a href="about.html">here.</a></p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="whatsnew">Q: What's new in this version?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> History log can be found online at <a href="http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/site/eng/news.html">this</a> page. But the project is now under development so later <a href="http://www.firebirdsql.su/dc/">nightly builds</a> contain many new features and improvements.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="linux">Q: Is it a Total Commander® for Linux?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> No, this is another program from other developers. It now supports Windows® and GNU/Linux operating systems with toolkits GTK2 and Qt. In the future it will quite possibly support other operating systems like Mac OS.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="wincmd">Q: What is the difference between this program and my favorite file manager (Total Commander®)?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> The goal of the project is to create a program close to TC in operation and with maximum compatibility via the plugins and configuration files. However, Double Commander has some important advantages: it's free to use, works with different operating systems, and is open source.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="opsys">Q: I have a 64-bit Operating System. Can I download Double Commander for it?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> Yes, builds for x64 exist under both supported platforms.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="link">Q: How can I contact the developers of Double Commander?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> Just write to the project's official <a href="http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/forum/">forum</a> and the developers will (possibly) pay attention to your suggestions.</p>
<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#common">on top</a></p>
</div>
<div class="SECT1">
<h2>2. Issues related to GNU/Linux</h2>
<p class="bold"><a name="version">Q: Which version do I download?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> If you have KDE - download a Qt-build; in other cases (Gnome, Xfce, LXDE) a build for GTK toolkit.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="repo">Q: Where is the project repository?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> There is no repository yet. But you can download installation packages deb, rpm or "portable" (binaries packed with bz2) from the official site. Also you can download the source code and compile DC for yourself.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="plugins">Q: Plugins from Total Commander® do not work!?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> They work, but not all of them. Plugins from TC compiled for Windows® can only be used with Windows® version of Double Commander. But if the plugins have open source code, you can try to build them for GNU/Linux (or maybe ask the plugin developer to do it :)).</p>
<p class="NAVBACK"><a href="#tux">on top</a></p>
</div>
<div class="SECT1">
<h2>3. Interface configuration</h2>
<p class="bold"><a name="color">Q: How can I change color settings for the panels?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> To change the color, you must do the following:</a></p>
<ul>
<li><p>Configurations&nbsp;&rarr; Options&nbsp;&rarr; Colors (but first you must create your own columns style)</p></li>
<li><p>Configurations&nbsp;&rarr; Options&nbsp;&rarr; Columns, set default style, click "Edit" and configure :)</p></li>
</ul>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="colorbuttons">Q: What are buttons R and All in the color settings?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> It's simply:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><kbd>R</kbd>&nbsp;&mdash; restore color to the default.</p></li>
<li><p><kbd>All</kbd>&nbsp;&mdash; apply selected color to all columns.</p></li>
</ul>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="columns">Q: Some text in a column overwrites another column's text!</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> Configurations&nbsp;&rarr; Options&nbsp;&rarr; Behaviors, set checkbox "Cut text to column width".</p>
<br/>
<!-- Sash0k: неактуально для английской версии?
<p class="bold"><a name="tab_eng">Q: Почему заголовок табулятора, при первом запуске в
linux на английском?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> При первом запуске DC определяет язык системы на основании локали.
В дальнейшем текст заголовков сохраняется в <tt>doublecmd.ini</tt> и считывается из него. Изменить заголовки
можно в настройках колонок.</p>
<br/>
-->
<p class="bold"><a name="icons">Q: How to associate my own icons with some file types?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> You can edit the configuration file <tt>doublecmd.ext</tt>. For example, to associate an icon with image file types:</p>
<pre class="CODE">
[jpeg|jpg|gif|png]
Name=images
Icon=/home/rust/progs/doublecmd/pixmaps/32x32/mimetypes/image.png
open=gthumb '%p'</pre>
<p>In this case, all of the above extensions will be displayed with <tt>image.png</tt>.</p>
<br/>
<!-- Sash0k: пофиксили же? из русской тоже надо убрать...
<p class="bold"><a name="lcl_err">Q: ERROR: [TGtkWidgetSet.GetSysColor] Bad Value: 45.
Valid Range between 0 and 31. Что это?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> Это известная ошибка, она связана с переходом на новую версию
Lazarus IDE (точнее, библиотеки LCL). Чтобы избавиться от этой ошибки, нужно в диалоге настроек
на странице "Цвета"&nbsp;&rarr; "Файловые панели" заново выбрать цвет "Текст под курсором", а
также в "Настройка"&nbsp;&rarr; "Параметры"&nbsp;&rarr; "Колонки" проделать то же самое.</p>
<br/>
-->
<p class="bold"><a name="lcl_err">Q: How to create a splitter on the buttons panel?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> To get the splitter, you need to specify "-" as a hint.</p>

<h2>4. Issues related to control and navigation</h2>
<p class="bold"><a name="cursor_down">Q: Is it possible to automatically move the cursor down one line after selecting using the <kbd>Space</kbd> key?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> Set the key</p>
<pre class="CODE">SpaceMovesDown = 1</pre>
<p> in the [Configuration] section of the file <tt>doublecmd.ini</tt>. Or just enable it in the Options.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="queue">Q: Is there an ability to create a file operations queue?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> A file operations queue was implemented in version 0.4.6 alpha, and will be added to the next stable release.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="hotkeys_default">Q: <kbd>Ctrl+A</kbd> doesn't work, how to enable it?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> How to enable:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Configurations&nbsp;&rarr; Options&nbsp;&rarr; Hot keys, set key for internal command <tt>cm_MarkMarkAll</tt><p></li>
<li><p>Add these strings to file <tt>shortcuts.ini</tt>:<pre class="CODE">

<p class="bold"><a name="context_menu_create">Q: How to create my own context menu in this program?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> Add button to the toolbar, choose <tt>cm_ShowButtonMenu</tt> as a command, and also add path to the *. bar file to the parameters.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="context_menu_edit">Q: How to customise the context menu, for example, add the item "Open With"?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> This can be done via file association manually, associate programs with specified file types and also set default program.</p>
<p>"Configuration"&nbsp;&mdash; "File associations"&nbsp;&mdash; "File types" (enter any name here, e.g. <span class="bold">media</span>)&nbsp;&mdash; "Extensions" (add, e.g.
<span class="bold">avi</span>)&nbsp;&mdash; "Actions"&nbsp;&mdash; click button "Add" (type
<span class="bold">open</span>&nbsp;&mdash; "Command" type, e.g. <span class="bold">totem-xine "%p"</span>
or <span class="bold">mplayer "%p"</span> or <span class="bold">smplayer "%p"</span> etc ...&nbsp;).
After doing this when you right-click on the file you can choose what to open.</p>
<p>By the way, it's easy to open any directory with root privileges, e.g. with Nautilus. You can add a new type to the "File associations" (e.g. <span class="bold">dir</span>), set <span class="bold">folder</span> as extension, set <span class="bold">Open as root</span> as action and type command: <span class="bold">gksu nautilus "%p"</span>. After this just right click on any folder, choose <span class="bold">Open as root</span> and enter password :)</p>

<h1>Find files</h1>
<hr/>
<h2><a name="attributes">Searching for files with specific attributes.</a></h2>
<p>
To search for specific attributes you must enter a string pattern, which specifies which attributes are searched for, and if they should be enabled or disabled. Single attribute is represented with the following format:</p>
<code>&lt;attribute&gt;+</code> or <code>&lt;attribute&gt;-</code>
<p>
The plus sign means that the file must have that attribute set, minus sign means that the file must not have that attribute set.</p>
<p>The various <tt>&lt;attribute&gt;</tt> identifiers are as follows:</p>
<p>Windows:<p>
<table border="0" frame="void" width="50%" class="CALSTABLE">
<tbody>
<thead style="font-size: 80%; border-width=2"><td>File attributes:</td></thead>
<tr valign="top" title="wer">
<td>
<code>
r - read only<br>
a - archive<br>
h - hidden<br>
s - system<br>
d - directory<br>
l - symlink<br>
t - temporary<br>
p - sparse<br>
c - compressed<br>
e - encrypted<br>
</code>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table></p>
</p>
<p>Unix:<p>
<table border="0" frame="void" width="50%" class="CALSTABLE">
<tbody>
<thead style="font-size: 80%; border-width=2"><td>Permissions:</td><td>File types:</td></thead>
<tr valign="top" title="wer">
<td>
<code>
ur - user read<br>
uw - user write<br>
ux - user execute<br>
gr - group read<br>
gw - group write<br>
gx - group execute<br>
or - others read<br>
ow - others write<br>
ox - others execute<br>
us - set user ID<br>
gs - set group ID<br>
sb - sticky bit<br>
</code>
</td>
<td><code>
b - block<br>
c - character<br>
d - directory<br>
f - fifo<br>
l - symlink<br>
r - regular<br>
s - socket<br>
</code>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table></p>
On Unix you may also use octal representation of permissions. For example 0750 is the same as ur, uw, ux, gr and gx combined.
</p>
<h4>Advanced patterns.</h4>
<p>
Several attributes may be combined together with an AND relationship. Just specify one pattern after another. For example: <tt>r+s+h+</tt> matches files that have all three: read-only, hidden and system attributes set.
</p>
<p>
Furthermore, such groups of AND attributes may be combined together with an OR relationship. This is done by using the "|" character (vertical bar). For example: <tt>r+|s+h+</tt> matches files that have either:
<list>
<li>read-only attribute set</li>
or
<li>both hidden and system attributes set.</li>
</list>
</p>
<p>
It is possible to negate AND sequences using "!" character specified at the start of the sequence. For example: <tt>!r+s+h+</tt> matches files that don't have all three: read-only, hidden and system attributes set. The matched file may have none, one or more of those attributes set, but not all of them. Negation only applies to AND sequences, thus pattern <tt>!r+|!s+h+</tt> matches files that either:
<list>
<li>don't have read-only attribute set (the same as r-)</li>
or
<li>don't have both hidden and system attributes set.</li>
</list>
</p>
<p>You cannot use parenthesis to separate sequences.</p>
<h4>Examples.</h4>
<br>Windows:<br>
<table border="0" frame="void" width="100%" class="CALSTABLE" cellspacing="20">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><tt>a+s-h-</tt></td>
<td>matches files that have archive attribute set and don't have neither system nor hidden attributes set</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>e+|c+</tt></td>
<td>matches files that are either compressed or encrypted (these are NTFS attributes)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>d-</tt></td>
<td>matches files but not directories</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>Unix:<br>
<table border="0" frame="void" width="100%" class="CALSTABLE" cellspacing="20">
<tbody>

<td><tt>uw+|gw+|ow+</tt></td>
<td>matches files that are writeable either by user, group or anybody else</td>
</tr>

<td><tt>222+</tt></td>
<td>matches files that are writeable by user, and by group, and by anybody else</td>

<p>Double Commander&nbsp;&mdash; is a project started by Russian programmer Alexander Koblov
(Alexx2000@mail.ru), as a fork of Sexi Commander (author&nbsp;&mdash; Radek Cervinka,
radek.cervinka@centrum.cz).</p>
<p>Double Commander is a cross-platform (both GNU/Linux and Windows) file manager, supporting
WCX, WFX, WDX, WLX and DSX plugin types. The last type (DSX) is DC's own search plugin type.
The Windows version of Double Commander is compatible with many plugins from Total Commander (TC), which is more than half of those which I tried.
The Linux version has no such programs at all. DC comes installed with some WCX (archiver) plugins to work with cpio, deb, rpm, bz2, rar, zip, tar, gz, tgz archives as
directories (VFS), also a search plugin (DSX) and a lister videoplayer plugin for Linux (WLX). Other plugins can be installed manually.</p>
<p class="FIGURE"><img title="Double Commander" alt="Double Commander" src="images/imgDC/pic05.png" width="730" height="458"/></p>
<div class="SECT1">
<h2><a name="intro">1. Introduction</a></h2>
<p>On the program <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=188452">download page</a>
you can see several versions which are available to download. First, you must choose which operating system (Windows or Linux)
and whether 32 or 64 bit. After that you can select the type of distribution.
For Windows there is an executable file <tt>.ехе</tt> or an archive <tt>.zip</tt> (which is the so-called portable version).</p>
<p>For Linux there are versions for most popular Linux distributions and desktop environments.
You can download compiled <tt>deb</tt> packages for Debian-based distributions (e.g,
Ubuntu), and <tt>rpm</tt> for Linux Mandriva. Also available is a portable version of the archive <tt>tar.bz2</tt>, it is the same source from which you can build the program yourself. For various DE there are versions, based on
GTK2 toolkit, and versions for KDE, based on Qt. I must note that the program is not yet available from the repositories.</p>
<p>On the first launch Double Commander will automatically detect the system language, and set it for the interface.
DC is translated into 10 languages so far. The language can be changed in the menu via
"<a href="#5_1_1_yazik">Configuration &nbsp;&rarr; Options&nbsp;&rarr; Language</a>".
Also Double Commander determines and uses the current system theme. It looks like this (in Ubuntu Linux, default theme):</p>
<p class="FIGURE"><img title="Main program window" alt="Main window" src="images/imgDC/pic1.png" width="730" height="458"/></p>
<p>As can be seen from the figure, there are two file panels, a black terminal window, a command line (as in TC)
and a lower window that is a log viewer (it shows all the actions from the file manager).</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT1">
<h2><a name="congif_files">2. Сonfiguration files</a></h2>
<p>Double Commander keeps settings in configuration files in the program directory or in the user's home directory.
The main files are:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><tt><a href="doublecmd.ini.html">doublecmd.ini</a></tt>&nbsp;&mdash; all the main program settings
(similar to <tt>wincmd.ini</tt>)</p></li>
<li><p><tt>default.bar</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; toolbar settings (like TC)</p></li>
<li><p><tt>editor.col</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; editor settings</p></li>
<li><p><tt><a href="shortcuts.html">shortcuts.ini</a></tt>&nbsp;&mdash; keyboard layout settings</p></li>
<li><p><tt>cmdhistory.txt</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; command line history</p></li>
<li><p><tt>dirhistory.txt</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; directories history</p></li>
<li><p><tt>edithistory.txt</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; edit files history (using <kbd>F4</kbd>)</p></li>
<li><p><tt>maskhistory.txt</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; the history of masks used to search, highlight, etc.</p></li>
<li><p><tt>doublecmd.log</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; log of all operations</p></li>
<li><p><tt><a href="doublecmd.ext.html">doublecmd.ext.example</a></tt>&nbsp;&mdash; sample file associations configuration</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The structure of these files are described in detail in their topics. Almost all the settings in these files can be changed from the program GUI.</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT1">
<h2><a name="iface">3. Interface</a></h2>
<p>Double Commander's interface</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h3><a name="iface_menu">3.1. Menu bar</a></h3>
<p class="FIGURE"><img title="Menu bar" alt="Menu bar" src="images/imgDC/pic2.png" width="532" height="48"/></p>
<p>The Menu Bar provides access to all the features of Double Commander. But do not forget that the majority of actions can be performed in other ways: by using hot keys or buttons on the toolbar.
</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT3">
<h4><a name="mnu_file">3.1.1. "Files"</a></h4>
<p>This menu contains almost all the actions that can be made on files. Please consider all the items:</p>
<p><a name="01_ssilka"><span class="bold">Create link</span></a> (internal command
<tt><a name="cm_HardLink">cm_HardLink</a></tt>). With this item, Double Commander creates a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link">hard</a > link to the file under the cursor, and places it in a folder, open on the adjacent panel.</p>
<p class="FIGURE"><img alt="Hard link" title="Hard link" src="images/imgDC/pic10-5.png" width="347" height="161"/></p>
<p><span class="italic">Link name</span>&nbsp;&mdash; here is the path to the link and its name.
The name is the last word after the last slash in the line.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Existing destination</span>&nbsp;&mdash; the object, on which the link is created.</p>
<p><a name="02_ssilka2"><span class="bold">Create symlink</span></a> (internal command
<tt><a name="cm_SymLink">cm_SymLink</a></tt>). All like the hard link above, but link is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symlink">symbolic</a>.</p>
<p>Selecting <a name="03_svoistva"><span class="bold">Show file properties...</span></a>
(internal command <tt><a name="cm_FileProperties">cm_FileProperties</a></tt>) we get a window like this:</p>
<p class="FIGURE"><img alt="Show file properties" title="Show file properties" src="images/imgDC/pic11.png" width="383" height="378"/>&nbsp;
<img alt="Show file properties" title="Show file properties" src="images/imgDC/pic12.png" width="383" height="378"/></p>
<p>which indicates the file or folder name, size, write and last access time, and also owner and group. On the "Properties" tab you can change the access to the file (if you have the rights to do so). But only for a file or folder under the cursor.</p>
<p>Using item <a name="04_redakt_comment"><span class="bold">
Edit comment...</span></a> (internal command <tt><a name="cm_EditComment">cm_cm_EditComment</a></tt>) you can create or

<p>Allows renaming any files by defined mask. E.g. some files with different names could be
renamed into Picture1, Picture2, Picture3, etc.. First, select files to be renamed and then start this tool (see figure above).
There you can see the old and new names for your files.</p>
<p>On the panel <span class="italic">Mask</span> you can set mask to rename. The following macros are available:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><tt>[N]</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; is the same name as the source file</p></li>
<li><p><tt>[Nx]</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; get x-characters from original name. E.g. if the source file is named
"Picture" value [N5] would mean that the character "u" (fifth character in the original name) would be used</p></li>
<li><p><tt>[Nx:x]</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; get characters from x to x. E.g. if the source file is named
"Picture" value [N1:4] would mean "Pict" is used</p></li>
<li><p><tt>[C]</tt>&nbsp;&mdash; is a counter, its parameters are listed on the
<span class="italic">Counter</span> panel.</p></li>
<li><p>You can combine the use of macros, and your own text (see figure).</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Using the spinner box to the right of the <span class="italic">File Name</span> you can choose from the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>No change&nbsp;&mdash; the new names will be same case as the old ones.</p></li>
<li><p>UPPERCASE&nbsp;&mdash; the new names will be all uppercase.</p></li>
<li><p>lowercase&nbsp;&mdash; the new names will be all lowercase.</p></li>
<li><p>First char uppercase&nbsp;&mdash; the new file names will begin with a capital character.</p></li>
<li><p>First Char Of Every Word Uppercase&nbsp;&mdash; each word of the new file names will begin with a capital character.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Likewise for the <span class="italic">Extension</span> name as well.
<p>Panel <span class="italic">Find & Replace</span> will help when you need to replace parts of the file name
(e.g. change "a" to "i", so the word changes from "race" to "rice"). <a href="regexp.html">Regular expressions</a> are also available.</p>
<p>In the panel <span class="italic">Counter</span> set the parameters of the counter: first number, number width (1, 01, 001, 0001, etc..), interval.</p>
<p>In the panel <span class="italic">Log Result</span> you can enable a log file and specify the path to it.</p>
<p>In the panel <span class="italic">Presets</span> you can save all your MultiRename settings for future use. Just type a name into the box
and click the <span class="italic">Save</span> button.
<p>If you click on the <span class="italic">Reset all</span> button the configuration of the MultiRename tool will be set back to the initial settings.
Handy if you want to start all over again ;-).
<p>Finally, when you are satisfied you have the new filenames as you want, click on the <span class="italic">Rename</span> button to actually perform the
file renaming.
<p>By selecting item <a name="08_upakovat"><span class="bold">Pack files</span></a> (internal command
<tt><a name="cm_PackFiles">cm_PackFiles</a></tt>) we call a standard dialog to pack files to the zip, tar.gz, tgz and, possibly, rar archive formats.</p>
<p class="FIGURE"><img alt="Pack" title="Pack" src="images/imgDC/pic14-5.png" width="368" height="183"/></p>
<p>Also we can unpack files via <a name="09_raspakovat">
<span class="bold">Extract Files</span></a> (internal command <tt><a name="cm_ExtractFiles">cm_ExtractFiles</a></tt>). The same dialog is called when you copy files from the archive.</p>
<p class="FIGURE"><img alt="Unpack" title="Unpack" src="images/imgDC/pic14-6.png" width="368" height="173"/></p>
<p>The first line specifies the destination directory (where the archive will be unpacked).
It can be changed manually or by clicking on the browse button at the far right.
In the <span class="italic">Files to unpack</span> line, you can specify a mask, determining which files will be unpacked. The history of masks can be found in the drop-down list. Checkbox <span class="italic">
Unpack each archive to a separate subdir (name of the archive)</span> creates a folder in the destination with the same name as the archive and extracts the files into that folder. You can extract
several archives at once with this option and each will be extracted into its own folder in the destination.</p>

<li><p>700MB - CD 700MB&nbsp;&mdash; CD drive size</p></li>
</ul>
<p>On click OK button you get several files with the extension ".split" in the target directory. To combine the file again, select all ".split" parts and click <span class="bold">Combine files</span>(<tt><a name="cm_FileLinker">cm_FileLinker</a></tt>). You also need to specify the order of split parts to combine.</p>
<p class="FIGURE"><img alt="Combine files" title="Combine files" src="images/imgDC/pic14-8.png" width="258" height="275"/></p>
<p>This function is very useful, if you have small drives and large files. It is possible to move the file parts (as in TC).</p>
<p>Item <a name="012_controlnaya_summa">
<span class="bold">Calculate check sum...</span></a> (internal command <tt><a name="cm_CheckSumCalc">cm_CheckSumCalc</a></tt>) is used to calculate the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum">checksum</a> (<span class="bold">MD5</span>

<span class="italic">Text Color, Background, Background2, Mark color, Cursor Color</span>, and also<span class="italic"> Cursor Text</span>.
With the two background options you can make an alternating stripe in the panels. I've done this myself as can be seen in the panel screenshots.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Use Inverted Selection</span>&nbsp;&mdash; inverts colors of marked text and marked text under cursor. More details about color settings are in section <a href="#5_1_15_colonki">Columns</a>.</p>
<p>Section <span class="bold"><a name="5_1_6_cveta_failov">Colors, File types</a></span></p>
<p class="FIGURE"><img alt="File types by color" title="File types by color" src="images/imgDC/pic21.png" width="527" height="387"/></p>
<p>Here you can specify file types that should be given a different color.</p>
<p>In line <span class="italic">Category name</span> you may write a description of the file, what it does or what program it opens.</p>
<p>In line <span class="italic">Category mask</span> put a wildcard mask to match file types. You may put multiple file types here using a semicolon ";" without spaces between them. Symbol "*" means match any number of characters.</p>
<p>In line <span class="italic">Category attributes</span> you can put file attributes, and DC will match any files which have matching attributes. Set attributes this way:
<tt>drwxrwxrwx</tt> (Linux) <tt>drahs</tt> (Windows). You can also use wildcards in the attributes: <tt>?r-*</tt> (Linux) or <tt>?r*</tt> (Windows) will find all read-only files and folders.</p>
<p>Do not forget to click "Apply" button after customization.</p>
<p>Section <span class="bold"><a name="5_1_7_hotKeys">Hot Keys</a></span></p>
<p class="FIGURE"><img alt="Hot Keys" title="Hot Keys" src="images/imgDC/pic22.png" width="527" height="387"/></p>
<p>In this section you can set keys to launch commands and also specify parameters for these commands.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Categories</span>&nbsp;&mdash; shows the category of hot key combinations. Main - the main category (apparently there will be other categories in future). </p>
<p><span class="italic">Commands</span>&nbsp;&mdash; list of available <a href="cmds.html">shortcuts</a> in Double Commander. The list is shown as a table with three columns:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Commands (names of internal commands)</p></li>
<li><p>Comments (a short description)</p></li>
<li><p>Hotkeys (assigned shortcuts)</p></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="italic">Filter</span>&nbsp;&mdash; enables you to search the internal commands more quickly.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Hot Key</span>&nbsp;&mdash; new shortcut displays here. Click in the box and press combination on keyboard to enter new hot key.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Hot Keys</span>&nbsp;&mdash; this box shows assigned shortcuts for the selected command. Also will display a warning if you try to set a shortcut that is already assigned.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Param</span>&nbsp;&mdash; allows you to set some parameters for the command.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Set HotKey</span>&nbsp;&mdash; sets the new shortcut. It will be moved from "Hot Key" to "Hot Keys" box. Also it will be added to the third column of "Commands" table.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Clear HotKey</span>&nbsp;&mdash; clears existing shortcut from "Hot Keys" box.</p>
<p>E.g. to reassign drive popup menu from <kbd>Alt+F1</kbd> and <kbd>Alt+F2</kbd> to <kbd>Ctrl+F1</kbd> and <kbd>Ctrl+F2</kbd> (in Linux) you must select command <tt>cm_RightOpenDrives</tt>, click in the "Hot Key" box and press <kbd>Ctrl+F2</kbd>. Then press "Set HotKey" button. Perform the same steps for command <tt>cm_LeftOpenDrives</tt> and shortcut <kbd>Ctrl+F1</kbd>.</p>

<p><span class="italic">Buffer Size (Kb)</span>&nbsp;&mdash; sets the memory buffer size for file operations.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Use memory mapping for search text in files.</span>
&nbsp;&mdash; copies the file into virtual memory before performing the search. It's faster, but needs a more powerful computer.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Use stream for search in text files</span>&nbsp;&mdash; splits file into parts, then the search begins (slower, but fewer resources are required).</p>
<p><span class="italic">Number of wipe pass</span> (internal command <tt><a name="cm_Wipe">cm_Wipe</a></tt>)
&nbsp;&mdash; this function is for the complete destruction of files from your hard disk (shortcut <kbd>Alt+Del</kbd> by default). Erasing uses several overwrites of the file. Here you can specify the number of rewrites.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Drop readonly flag</span>&nbsp;&mdash; if enabled, Double Commander will drop this flag in Windows, and add "w" attribute in Linux. This is handy if copying files from CD/DVD media where the files would retain the read-only attribute by default.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Process comments with files/folders</span>&nbsp;&mdash; If enabled and you have a file/folder with a comment attached and you copy or move it to another folder the comment will be copied or moved to the destination along with the file/folder.</p>

<p class="FIGURE"><img alt="Quick search" title="Quick search" src="images/imgDC/pic26-5.png" width="475" height="289"/></p>
<p>Quick search is used in searching for filenames in the panel. Here you can set a keyboard shortcut for it, and also set some parameters.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Exact name match: Beginning </span>&nbsp;
&mdash; means that the file to be searched for must begin with the first letter typed.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Exact name match: Ending</span>
&nbsp;&mdash; it helps, if you know only end of filename, e.g. <tt>...us.ext</tt>, so you can find this file using the mask <tt>*us.ext</tt>.</p>
<p>I like to have the <span class="italic">Exact name match: Beginning </span> selected and then I can just type the first character of the filename I'm looking for and then the second character, etc. The file is quickly
located in this manner.</p>

<p>In this section you can customize the panel appearance, columns, colors, fonts, etc. Double Commander is very configurable in this way.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Configure columns for the file system</span>&nbsp;&mdash; if any installed WFX-plugins have a file system that differs from standard FS, this option allows you to create a set of styles especially for this file system.
<P>Main windows displays a list of existing column styles. There are two default styles: Default and Brief (in this screenshot you can also see my column style called "my_style").</p>
<p><span class="italic">New</span>&nbsp;&mdash; creates a new column set. It opens the columns editor window, where you can enter a name and also customise your new style.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Delete</span>&nbsp;&mdash; deletes selected columns set.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Copy</span>&nbsp;&mdash; copies columns set. The new set is named the same as the target set + <tt>_Copy</tt> added. It is a good idea to create some different sets from one parent.</p>

<p>The count of lines in the customization table is equal to the count of columns in the set.</p>
<p>These are the parameters that determine the table for the column (click in the boxes to edit them):</p>
<p><span class="italic">Delete</span>&nbsp;&mdash; allows you to remove any line. To delete: click in the Delete box of the line. Then click again, this time a delete symbol appears. If you click a third time the line will be deleted from the table.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Caption</span>&nbsp;&mdash; specifies the name of the column which will be displayed in the <a href="#iface_columns">tabstop headers bar</a>. You can set any name you like.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Width</span>&nbsp;&mdash; column width (pixels) which will be set on program start. Note: the width depends on the column content, e.g. the file extension column will have a small width.</p>
<p><span class="italic">Align</span>&nbsp;&mdash; sets the alignment of the column name. Variants are:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><tt>(&lt;--)</tt> align left</p></li>

<p><span class="italic">Icon</span>&nbsp;&mdash; you can set the path to an icon for this group.</p>
