 Lister Format Editor

This Editor alters the basic setup of the lister from choosing the manner in
which the files should be displayed to the way that they should be ordered.
The display window in the editor shows what features of a file will be
displayed with the feature with a tick being the sorting key of the file. To
add or remove a feature from display just drag & drop the feature in
question to the adjacent window.

There are a variety of different options:

  Entry Separation:
    This allows you to select whether directories or files are to be shown
    first in the listers, or whether they should be intermixed.

  Reverse Sorting:
    This causes the files to be displayed in the reverse order of the sort.

  Filter Icons:
    This will filter the icons so that the '.info' files won't be
    displayed.

  Hidden:
    Makes sure not to show files with the hidden bit set.

  Free Space Gauge:
    Toggles whether or not the lister has a space guage which graphically
    shows the proportion of free space on the drive. It is possible to
    set the colour for the 'bar' part of the gauge from the
     Lister Colours  section.

  Inherit:
    This flag has the same effect as the padlock gadget; if turned on,
    sub-directories will inherit the format of the parent directory when
    double-clicking on them in name mode. When turned off, unless a
    directory has a format defined for it, it will use the default format.

  Show Filter:
    Declares a pattern for which all files matching it must be displayed.

  Hide Filter:
    Declares a pattern for which all files matching it are not displayed.

  Reset to Defaults:
    Restores all options for this lister to match the default
     lister display .

  Save:
    Saves the display format for this lister so that these settings are
    always used when viewing the directory currently in the lister.

    Applies any changes you have made to the display options for this
    lister.

  Cancel:

    lister.
