Change Attributes Setting

#1 Post by tosim » 25.02.2012, 18:30

Using Free Commander XE,0.0.0.570 with XP Pro. I went to the ".ini" but could not find attribute settings. I would like to make the default not have any check marks(as there are presently in "Archive, Read only, Hidden, System"). Also, whenever I update a file or folder, how can I have the time and date attributes automatically reset to the change? Thank you for any assistance, and for a good program.

It sounds to me that you don't want the file attributes column at all. If so, in FC go to Settings > View > Custom Columns. Select a view (you may have only one), then click the Define Columns button. Select the Attributes column, then click the Delete button. (You don't need to edit the INI file.)

Go to Settings > View > File/Folder list. On the Refresh tab, put a check mark in (enable) "Auto refresh for general changes" and "Auto refresh for other changes."

Hey Scott_V-Thanks for (such a quick) reply. Have done as you suggested. Now, will the date(accessed,modified,created)automatically change to what is the present date I accessed it? Thank you again.

The only date I display is Modified, and yes, it changes immediately when a file is added or modified. You can test Accessed date; I don't suppose Created date changes -- though I must admit I don't understand the dates Microsoft reports for those anyway (they are sometimes not what I would expect).

You can actually disable the "Last accessed" date in XP. I suppose it saves some RAM. If you have any of the XP tweaking apps, they will have the option to disable it. I have had that disabled for years.

Thank you both. I really appreciate the quick replies. Slightly off subject-but does anyone know if there is a FC version for Linux? I'm thinking seriously of using it more than Windows. Thanks to all.

There is no version for Linux and it is not planned, AFAIK.

Too bad. :) Debian (Ubuntu for example) is a future and there is definitely a lack of good file manager. FC is the best and is a really dream of for Ubuntu, at least for me. :)
