This dialog allows you to control how much icon information is cataloged for each volume ejected. You have separate controls for floppies and other, larger, removable media since you may wish to treat them differently. Searching my name, and locating via aliases are fully functional withought any icons.
Many files will be displayed with icons even if the icons are not cataloged - if their icons are already in your startup volume desktop files. In this case, however, the icons may disapear later if you have to "rebuild the desktop".
Floppy Disks:
All options described below take effect the next time you Eject a floppy disk that has not been cataloged yet. These are the default options, the options you actually use for a particular disk may be changed when the media is ejected.
Save Icons for:
This allows you specify what class of files have their icons cataloged. With no icons stored, you will be able to catalog up to 300,000 files. Selecting color icons for all file types will reduce this number by about 25%.
[X] Applications
Selecting this option saves icons for the applications, and each of their dolcument types. The space required varies according to the number of document types the application supports. This varies from 2K to 25K depending on the application.
[X] Inits
Many system files, such as inits, control panels, and DAs contain their own icons. Skiping these icons will not efect the catalog functionality.
[X] Custom
It is possible for documents (and any other file) to have their own custom icon. You may choose whether you wish to have these icons cataloged. They will occupy approximately 2K per file containing a custom icon.
Icon storage:
This lets you specify how much icon information is stored with each file.
(•) B/W Icons
This option adds only the Black and White Icon information to the Catalog volume for those files cataloged. Selecting this option will reduce the storage requirements listed above by approximately25%.
(•) Color Icons
This option adds color Icon information to the Catalog volume for those files cataloged. This results in cataloged entries being displayed with all the detail of the original.
Other Removables:
The same set of controls as above except for other media such a SyQuest, M/O, or Bernoulli disks. If space on your Boot drive is of concern, it is recommended that you save only document names since you could be looking at cataloging thousands of files.
