Global Configuration Options

     
Window Title Use this to change the caption of the main window of FileScan Tool  
Process ReadOnly Files When disabled, FST cannot handle/process read-only files. Enable to be able to handle read-only files. What FST then does is temporarily remove the read-only attribute to be able to process the file.
NOTE: Although you cannot change the attributes of a file on a CDROM, this option has to be enabled to process CDROM-files
 
Pollingrate Time in seconds between runs. Minimum is 0.01 seconds. The function of this timer is to be "operating system friendly", by not claiming all available CPU time. A value of 1-second should always be ok  
Idle Timestamp If enabled, the time in minutes after which FST will send the "Idle" message to the Status Window. The option is there to be able to remotely monitor the logfile and being able to check if FST is still running (by checking if there are Idle messages)  
Setup Globals Gives access to the "Define Global Constants" window, in which you can program a maximum of 10 global-constants, which you can use as GC1-GC10 in your CommandScript  
AutoStart Settings Use this to specify how FST starts up;
Check "Enable AutoStart", to automatically start FST when the program is started

Possible options for AutoStart are;

 
  Normal Start normal in the foreground  
  SystemTray Start as icon in System Tray  
  NT-Service Only valid under Windows-NT or Win2k. Tells FST to start as a NT-Service, or makes FST "NT Service Control Manager" compliant. You MUST use SRVINSTW and SRVANY to manually install FST as a service!

See "
HowTo run FST as a service" for further information.
 
Log to disk Check to enable logging to disk. Each FileScanner has its own logfile and there is a separate "system.log" which contains system messages  
Log Directory Directory in which the logfiles will be saved  
Trim Logfiles to Logfiles will not grow larger then the specified number of lines. Only valid when "Daily Logging" is disabled.  
Daily Logging If enabled will automatically save the logfiles to a "yyyy/mmm/dd" directory. The complete logfile will be saved, so the "Trim Logfiles to" is disabled when "Daily Logging" is enabled.  
AutoLog Internal Commands If enabled, will send messages to the Status Window when internal commands (such as <CopyFile> etc.) are executed.
TIP: Always enable this so you can see what's happening
 
Logwindow Font Font which is used by the LogWindow on the main window of FST.  
Size Font-size of the LogWindow font.
