Options Pane
Main  Previous  Next


Use this pane to specify program options for FilFolio. All of these options are persistent. That is FilFolio remembers them between sessions.

pane options
Note, if your Options Pane doesn't show as much as the one here, try making it bigger by dragging the resize handle at the bottom right corner of the pane.

The options are:

·Always on top. When checked checked FilFolio will always stay in front of all other windows. By default this option is unchecked not checked.  

·Ignore Floppy drives. When checked checked (the default) FilFolio will never try to scan your floppy drives when looking for files so if you have image files on floppy disc, make sure this option is unchecked not checked.  

·Always use Global Default Mappings. When checked checked FilFolio will always assume that only one mapping file exists, and its name is FilFolio Default Mappings.ffmap. If unchecked not checked (the default) it is possible to have a mappings file for each of your catalogs, thereby allowing you to have different metadata in different catalogs. If you are always going to have the same metadata in each of your catalogs, then it makes sense to check this option and always use the global default mappings.  

·I want to hear about errors while exploring. When checked checked (the default) FilFolio will always write error messages to the Error Pane while you are using the Explorer feature. If your catalog contains many files that do not contain metadata (like text files, bitmap - bmp - files, etc.) then a large number of messages can build up in the Error Pane. The novelty of seeing these messages will wear off after a while. When it does just uncheck not checked this option and you won't see those error messages again.  

·Folder for Map files. This is the folder where your mappings files are kept. By default it is set to a folder called Mappings in the folder where FilFolio is installed. If you want to share mappings files then put them somewhere on a network and change the value here by clicking on the folder icon folder and navigating to the correct folder.
