ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Drag & drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Drag & drop
DirMaster supports drag & drop both ways. That is you can drag both
from DirMaster to any program and from a program to DirMaster. You
can also drag files within DirMaster from one dirwindow to the other.
You drag files by first selecting them and then pressing and holding
the right mouse button down.
When dragging files from one dirwindow to the other the following
applies. The files are moved when you only hold the right mouse
button down, and are copied when you press CTRL at the same time.
Dragging files from DirMaster to another application and the other
way around works the same way as the drag described above. DirMaster
itself performs the copy/move when dragging to DirMaster, but not
when dragging from DirMaster (now it is the other application's
responsibility).
DirMaster's drag'n'drop supports 4dos/4os2 file descriptions when
dragging:
-From one DirMaster window to the other.
-When dragging files from another application/the desktop to
DirMaster.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Click & click ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Click & click
DirMaster v2.20 introduces a feature called click&click. Click&click
is similar to click-move-click found in DOpus versions prior to v5.0,
which no longer supports it (wonder why). If you are familiar with
click-move-click in DOpus you need read no further. It operates the
same way.
This feature works as a kind of second double click function. It can
be configured in the same way as double clicking. To perform
click&click you do the following. First click on the file or
directory you want to perform the operation on, then quickly click
anywhere in the opposite dirwindow (left mouse button both times). If
you clicked on an archive that archive would be unarchived into the
target directory. Try it out!
In case you don't like this function you can disable it in the
config. You can also configure the maximum delay between the clicks.
Much like double clicks.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Commandline parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Commandline parameters
/dscroll
Enables a scrollbar to the left of the drive buttons. This feature
may not work properly on some systems, so if this causes DirMaster to
crash when loading then do not use this switch.
/smallfonts
Use this switch if you run 1024x768 or above and have applied a small
fonts hack to your display driver to get smaller fonts and resources.
This will make the drive buttons and function buttons page in the
config to look correct.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Description support ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Description support
DirMaster supports 4dos/4os2 style descript.ion files for file
comments/descriptions. This includes adding/removing descriptions and
copying/moving/deleting/renaming/cloning files.
You can use the describe function to edit file descriptions.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Known Problems ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Known Problems
When selecting 5 or 6 button rows in the configuration and pushing
either save or new, the error 'Error 318 reading message x!' (where x
is a message number) is sometimes displayed everywhere. Restart
DirMaster and the problem will go away.
Some programs do not like being started by DirMaster and either do
not work correctly (usually incorrect path) or simply terminate. To
get around this, start a OS/2 window from the menu and run the
program from it.
Note: All these problems are being looked into by the author and
hopefully fixed.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.2. Statusline ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Statusline
The statusline is the raised 3D box directly below the menu. It has
two purposes:
1. Displaying the number of selected files, dirs and their bytesize,
and displaying the total number of files and dirs in the directory
and their total filesize. The format is like this:
# of selected dirs / total # of dirs # of selected files / total #
of files selected bytes / total bytes
2. Displaying information that need no confirmation and current
action etc, when performing fileoperations.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.3. Label and freespace boxes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Label and freespace boxes
Purposes:
- Display disk label of the current drive
- Display free diskspace on the current drive.
- Show which directory window is selected. The
box above the selected window is highlighted.
Switching between directory windows:
This can be acomplished in several ways. The easiest way is by
clicking the right mouse button in the window you want selected. This
also causes free diskspace and disklabel to be updated for this
window.
Another way is to use the left mouse button. This does NOT cause
free diskspace or disklabel to be updated. It does however cause the
file beneath the pointer to be selected.
A third way is to use the keyboard. Both TAB and SPACE switches to
the other dirwindow.
Displaying the available drives list:
By pressing both mouse button 1 and 2 simultaneously (chord) the
active dirwindow will display a list of all drives available.
Choosing a drive from this list causes the root directory of that
drive to be loaded in the same dirwindow (replacing the drive list).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.4. Dirwindows ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Dirwindows
The directory (dir from now on) windows are two listboxes (my own,
not the system's) containing files in the current dirs (you have two
current dirs. A source and a target.). The selected dir automatically
becomes the source and the other the target. Multiple files can be
selected in the dir windows by either clicking on the files one by
one, by draging the mouse up/down while holding mouse button #1 down
or by pressing the All button or None button.
Left mouse button double clicking:
The dir windows support double clicking. DirMaster will take an
action when any of the following are double clicked:
- Directories. Double clicking on one will cause DirMaster to enter
it and display it (replacing the current dir) in the dir window.
This includes the parent directory (..) if it is enabled in the
dirwindows configuration.
- Files with the extension EXE or COM. DirMaster will try to figure
out wheather it is a DOS, Windows, OS/2 textmode or PM program. You can
then specify cmd line parameters in execute dialog that pops up.
- Files with the extention CMD. DirMaster will load the default cmdline
interpreter (CMD.EXE, 4os2.exe or whatever) and run the batch file.
- Files with the extention BAT or BTM. The DOS cmdline interpreter
will be loaded and the batch file run.
- Files with extensions configured in the User button configuration.
The corresponding user function will be executed.
Click & click:
See click&click for an explanation.
Other clicking:
The dirwindows support some special clicks too. There are two ways to
go to the parent directory without using the Parent button or
doubleclicking on the parent directory ("..").
The first one is by double clicking with the right mouse button
inside the dirwindow. This feature is always enabled and cannot be
disabled.
The second method it to move the mouse pointer out to the outer
edge of the dirwindow, that is the left side in the left window and
right side in the right window, and press the left mouse button. This
function can be disabled in the General 2 page in the configuration.
The last quick mouse function in the dirwindow allows the user to
quickly go to the root directory. It is performed by clicking the
right mouse button on the outer window edge. This function can be
disabled in the General 2 page in the configuration.
Locating files quickly:
To find a specific filename in the dirwindow, just type the character
corresponding to the first character in the filename and DirMaster
will scroll the dirwindow to the first file it located. If no file
starting with that character, Dirmaster will increase the character
by one until it finds a match.
Note: This functions may not always work correctly in other sorting
modes than ascending/filename.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.5. Directory path boxes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Directory path boxes
Path boxes (see the picture below) are situated below the two dir
windows. Their functions are to contain the path for the drive window
above it. The boxes are automatically updated whenever a new
directory is loaded.
The path boxes can also be used to change directories. Just click
inside it, enter the desired directory (including drive) and press
enter. If you made a mistake in the directory name DirMaster will let
you know by writing <no directory read> in the label box above the
dir window. The directory path you had typed will still be in the
path box so you won't have to type it all over again.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.6. Arrow buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Arrow buttons
These three buttons does the following:
The < button reads the directory contained in the right dirwindow
into the left dirwindow. The directory in the right window remains
the same.
The > button does the opposite of the < button. It reads the
directory contained in the left dirwindow into the right window.
These two buttons can be useful if for instance you wish to copy a
file in the current directory into a sub dir in the current
directory. To do that you would just have to "copy" the dir with one
of the two buttons mentioned above, then enter the sub dir and the
file is ready to be copied.
The <> swaps the two directories in the dirwindows. The left dir is
moved to the right dirwindow and the right dir is moved to the left
dirwindow. This has no practical use unless you prefer to have the
target dir in, say, the right dirwindow.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.7. Button panel ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Button panel
The button panel consists of all the buttons at the bottom of the
DirMaster window. They are divided into two types of buttons:
Drive buttons
Function buttons
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.7.1. Drive buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Drive buttons
The drive button row is positioned to the right on the button panel.
Their function is to allow the user to quickly change between several
dir and/or drives configured in the Drive buttons configuration.
These buttons appear like normal buttons, but are in fact not quite
normal. There are only a few buttons visible at at time. This number
is the same as the number of rows selected for the button panel in
the Button panel configuration. These buttons consists of several
banks of buttons. Going to the next bank is acomplished by clicking
the right mouse button anywhere on the buttons. The number of banks
is dependent on which button is the last to contain a label in the
Drive page configuration. The maximum number of banks is 5, and the
maximum number of rows is 6. That gives a maximum of 30 drive buttons
which ought to be enough for anyone. :)
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.7.2. Function buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Function buttons
The function buttons consists of two types of buttons. Internal
functions are those supplied by DirMaster (Copy, Move, Rename etc.)
and user functions specified and configured by the user in the User
configuration.
Just like the Drive buttons, these buttons behave a little different
from ordinary buttons. They can each contain two functions. Double
click here to get explanation. The buttons who has a small peel-off
paper in the upper right corner have a right mouse button function.
You can also have multiple banks of buttons. This is configured in
the Button panel configuration. To switch bank (assuming you have
more than one bank) press the left or right mouse button on the
bottom statusline. The left mouse button changes to the previous bank
while the right mouse button moves to the next bank.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Two buttons on each button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Just like the drive buttons, these buttons respond to the right mouse
button. In a little different way, though. Each button can have one
or two functions. The primary function (the one you can se written on
the button) is always activated by pressing the left mouse button on
it. The second function (where available) is activated by pressing
the right mouse button on it. To see its label, hold the right mouse
button down. If you decide that you don't want to 'press' it move the
mouse pointer away from the button (you will see the button become
raised again) and release the mouse button. If you want to press it
release the mouse button with the pointer above the button you
pressed.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.2. General 1 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
General 1
Delete warning:
The configuration of delete warning gives you the control over the
warnings DirMaster may, or may not display when you press delete. You
can use any combination you want.
Single file - Warn the user when a single or multiple file delete is
about to occur.
Single directory - Warn the user when a single or multiple dir delete
is about to occur.
Multiple files - Warn the user when multiple files are about to be
deleted.
Multiple directories - Warn the user when multiple directories are
about to be deleted.
Temporary directory:
This box allows you to specify a directory where DirMaster can store
its temporary files. They will be deleted automatically when
DirMaster quits. The default here is "c:\".
Freespace display options:
This lets you configure how DirMaster will display the amount of free
disk space on the current disk(s). The "Use denomination" specifies
whether to write Kb/b/Mb or not after the free space. The radio
buttons lets you choose whether to display in bytes, kilobytes or
megabytes.
Autoread:
Specifies which two (if any) directories to automatically read at
startup. Check the appropriate checkbox to the right of the
appropriate editbox to enable it and write a path of your chice in
the editbox.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.3. General 2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
General 2
Startup options:
These settings give you control over how DirMaster is to appear when
started.
Start maximized:
DirMaster is maximized when started.
Start restored:
DirMaster is started in normal (restored) size when started. This
size is the size saved with save position in the DirMaster menu.
Start minimized:
DirMaster is started minimized.
Start in previous position:
DirMaster appears in the same position and size as when you last quit
DirMaster. This was previously the default (and only) choice.
Time display options:
This section allows you to choose whether to use the clock or not in
the bottom statusline and specify the displayed time format. You can
use plain text in addition to the tokens explained below:
Specifier Meaning
%a Insert abbreviated weekday name of locale.
%A Insert full weekday name of locale.
%b Insert abbreviated month name of locale.
%B Insert full month name of locale.
%c Insert date and time of locale.
%d Insert day of the month (01-31).
%H Insert hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number (00-23).
%I Insert hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number (01-12).
%j Insert day of the year (001-366).
%m Insert month (01-12).
%M Insert minute (00-59).
%p Insert equivalent of either AM or PM of locale.
%S Insert second (00-61).
%U Insert week number of the year (00-53) where Sunday is the first day of the week.
%w Insert weekday (0-6) where Sunday is 0.
%W Insert week number of the year (00-53) where Monday is the first day of the week.
%x Insert date representation of locale.
%X Insert time representation of locale.
%y Insert year without the century (00-99).
%Y Insert year.
%Z Insert name of time zone, or no characters if time zone is not available.
%% Insert %.
Memory- and Swap-display options:
You can enable and disable the displaying of free memory and total
swapfile size in the bottom statusline.
Click & click options:
These settings enable you to turn on and off the click&click feature.
You can also set the delay. If you like more time to perform the
operation, increase the delay. However, increasing the delay
increases the chances that you will accidentally start a click&click
operation by accident. Experiment a little. The default of 500 ms
(milliseconds) should be fine for most people.
File system options:
Automatic FAT/HPFS filename conversion:
This option enables converting automatic converting between 8.3
character FAT filenames and 256 character OS/2 filenames when
copying/moving/etc files between FAT and HPFS drives.
It works ways. If you copy a file named 'long.file.name' from a HPFS
disk to a FAT disk, the new name would be 'long.nam' and the original
filename would be stored in the .LONGNAME extended attribute. When
copying this file back to FAT it would get its old name back again
and the .LONGNAME EA would be removed.
Lowercase FAT filenames:
When this choice is enabled filenames on a FAT drive will be shown in
lowercase, rather than uppercase. If you prefer upper case then leave
this choice unchecked. Remeber; FAT is case insensitive and not case
preserving. All filenames are stored on FAT as uppercase.
Lowercase FAT=>HPFS copy:
This option tells DirMaster to convert filenames to lowercase whn
copying from FAT to HPFS. This way you no longer get files with
uppercase filenames on your HPFS drive.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.4. Archivers ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Archivers
This configuration dialog lets you configure the 7 archivers (ZIP,
ARJ, LHA, ZOO and ARC, UC2 and ZipStream). DirMaster does not have
the archivers built in, rather it uses external commandline programs.
A default setup will be created the first time you run DirMaster, so
all you have to do then is to make sure the paths are correct. You
choose the archiver to configure from the listbox.
Name:
Lets you specify the name of the archiver. Not much used by DirMaster
yet.
Ident:
Specifies the archive identification code that can usually be found
in the first characters in the archive. This is in hex format. The
spinbutton next to it specifies the offset at which the

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14.1. Why register? ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Why bother registering?
Well. I've tried to put down many good reasons to do just that below.
Read on, read on!
Γûá First of all, registering removes the irritating "beg" dialog that
pops up when you start DirMaster, and also the one after
configuration.
Γûá DirMaster will no longer display "Unregistered" in the title bar.
Instead the statusline will include the name of the person the copy
is registered to. For example:
DirMaster 2.22r Registered to Alexander Wilkens
Γûá The about dialog will display your name as well as your serial
number and the site you registered DirMaster from.
Γûá It does not cost that much! $39.50 (270NOK) is considerably less
than any comercial product (like Norton Commander) costs. There are
no hidden costs such as postage or anything. (except if you want
DirMaster on a diskette)
Γûá The author has put down a LOT of work on DirMaster. The author has
used much of his sparetime (I still attend school) programming. He
deserves SOMETHING, doesn't he?
Γûá The more people who register, the more encouraged I will be to
continue improving and developing DirMaster.
Γûá DirMaster can not be considered "crippleware" in ANY way, since all
the functions are availible for you to evaluate. Even though I have
done this, it does not mean that I am giving away DirMaster for free.
If very few of the people using DirMaster registers it, then I may be
foreced to add more beg dialogs, delays and other cruel things. I
don't want to do that, and I don't think you, as a user, would like
that much either. I suppose that speaks for itself..
Thank you for considering to register!
