You can change category settings at the top-right of the categories window. These include a subsort feature that makes Tidy It Up ! place the icon on the next line if at least one of the x first characters of the file is different from the previous file of the category. You may also assign a color to the category: Tidy It Up ! reads the colors and labels you use under the Finder. Finally, you may enter a comment for the category. This comment is used by the Finder when you double-click on the category's file icon to explain the purpose of this category.
Deleting a category
To delete a category, select it with a click, and then use the "Delete Category" menu item (this command is undoable).
Modifying categories order
To change the order of appearance of the categories, click on a category and drag it to the desired position. This order is important because it will be used to place the icons in each folder.
Creating a new rule
To create a new rule, use the "New Rule" menu item. A new rule is added to the current category. Tidy It Up ! places the rule in edit mode automatically. You may modify the rule by changing its type, creator and name.
Modifying a rule
To modify a rule, click on it once to select it and a second time to make its name editable. You can then use <tab> to edit the next field of the rule or to edit the next rule. <shift>-<tab> may be used to go backwards. The order of the rules is not important for Tidy It Up ! so there is no way to change it. To leave the edit mode, press the <return> or <enter> key.
Deleting a rule
To delete a rule, select one or more rule(s) and then use the "Delete Rule(s)" menu item. (this command is undoable).
Moving a rule from one category to another
You may move a rule from one category to another by dragging the rule to the name of another category.
Moving a file to create a new rule
You can also create a rule by dragging a file from the Files Window to a category name or to the rules view for the selected category. This feature allows you to create a rule very quickly with no typing errors (sometimes, the type or creator includes some special characters that are difficult to type).
