GEOS.INI: [file manager]
The [file manager] category determines the configuration of NewManager.
- warnings = <number>
-
Controls warning levels for file deletion. Set with the Options menu in
NewManager.
- options = <number>
-
Controls various options. Set with the Options menu.
- StartupDrivesLocation = <number>
-
Controls the initial location of drive buttons. Set with the Options menu.
- fontid = berkeley
- fontSize = 10
-
Selected font for use in display file and directory names in Folder windows
and Tree window.
- dosLaunchers = <true|false>
-
Controls whether DOS Launcher functionality is present. Defaults to true.
- filenameTokens = {
<filespec> = <"token",ID,"TeEd",ID>
}
- This key allows the user to assign icons to specific DOS file
names. It also allows text files to be opened by the Text File Editor.
The following associations should always be included. Note that the
order of the filespecs makes a difference. If *.EXE is listed before
MYPROG.EXE, then *.EXE supercedes the later entry. For the correct
results, list the more specific file names first and the more
general wildcards later.
filenameTokens = {
*.EXE = "gDOS",0
*.COM = "gDOS",0
*.BAT = "gDOS",0
*.TXT = "FILE",0,"TeEd",0
*.DOC = "FILE",0,"TeEd",0
*.HLP = "FILE",0,"TeEd",0
* = "FILE",0,"TeEd",0
}
- dosAssociations = {
<filespec> = <path & complete file name of DOS executable>
}
- Allows associating DOS datafiles with DOS executables so that a
particular DOS executable will be launched when a particular DOS
datafile is run.
EXAMPLE:
dosAssociations = {
CONFIG.SYS = C:\DOS\EDIT.COM
*.ZIP = C:\PKWARE\PKUNZIP.EXE
}
- dosParameters = {
<filespec> = <switches|question mark>
}
- Allows passing command line parameters to DOS executables.
Sometimes one executable calls another and if the latter is
listed here, the argument will be passed to the first. To
intentionally avoid passing an argument, set the filespec
equal to "none".
EXAMPLE:
dosParameters = {
WP.EXE = /r (pass /r switch when running WP)
NU.EXE = ? (display dialog box to prompt for command line switches)
BC.EXE = none (avoid passing argument to BC.EXE)
BCC.EXE = ? (prompt user for command line switches)
}
- maxOverlappingFolders = <number>
maxFullSizedFolders = <number>
- Determine the maximum number of folder windows that
you can keep open at once. The recommended number of full sized
folders is 3. The more folders open, the more resources are
used by the file manager.
