Properties

The Properties internal command can be used to:

 

Command Arguments:

Argument

Type

Possible values

Description

(no argument)

-

-

Display the system Properties dialog for selected files and folders.

Example: Properties

FILE

 

<filename>

Specifies the filename rather than using selected files. This is the default argument for the Properties command so you do not need to specify the FILE keyword. If the filename includes spaces make sure you enclose it in quotes.

Example: Properties "C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe"

FOLDEROPTIONS

/S

(no value)

Display the Folder Options dialog for the current folder.

Example: Properties FOLDEROPTIONS

FORMATLIST

/S

(no value)

Displays a generated list of your favourite folder formats (acts as a dynamic button). This displays one item for each format saved in the Favorite Formats category on the Folder Formats page in Preferences. Selecting a format from the generated list applies its settings to the current file display.

Example: Properties FORMATLIST

FTPSITE

/S

(no value)

Display the FTP Site Properties dialog for the currently connected FTP site. If you are not currently viewing an FTP directory this command has no effect.

Example: Properties FTPSITE

LISTER

/S

(no value)

Displays the system Properties dialog for the folder currently displayed in the source file display.

Example: Properties LISTER

NOFROMFOCUS

/S

(no value)

The default behaviour for the Properties command is to operate on either the source file display, or the Folder Tree, depending on which one has the input focus. This lets you use the same command to access the Properties dialog for folders in the tree as well as files and folders in the file display. Specify this argument to force the command to always operate on the source file display and ignore the folder tree.

Example: Properties NOFROMFOCUS

SETLABEL

/O

(no value)

Displays a generated list of your configured labels (acts as a dynamic button). Selecting a label from this list applies it to all selected files and folders.

Example: Properties SETLABEL

 

 

<label>

Applies the specified label to all selected files and folders.

Example: Properties SETLABEL=Green

 

 

!reset

Removes the label from all selected items.

Example: Properties SETLABEL=!reset

SETLABELINFS

/K

yes

Specify in conjunction with the SETLABEL argument to override the state of the Preferences / Favorites and Recent / File and Folder Labels / Automatically store labels in the file system if possible option. Labels will be stored in the file system even if that option is disabled.

Example: Properties SETLABEL=Green SETLABELINFS=yes

 

 

no

The labels will be stored in your Opus configuration.

Example: Properties SETLABEL=Blue SETLABELINFS=no

SETLABELTOGGLE

/S

(no value)

Specify in conjunction with the SETLABEL argument to toggle labels. If the targeted file or folder already has the specified label, the label will be reset instead.

(Only affects labels explicitly applied to individual folders and files. Labels picked up via wildcards and filters can be overridden by more explicit labels but cannot be toggled on individual items.)

Example: Properties SETLABEL=Bold SETLABELTOGGLE

SETWALLPAPER

/O

(no value)

Sets the selected image file as the system wallpaper. Opus will make a copy of the selected image file (and convert its format if necessary) - you can change where the copy is stored with the setwallpaper_file option on the Miscellaneous / Advanced page in Preferences.

Example: Properties SETWALLPAPER 

 

 

center

The wallpaper mode will be set to center the image on screen.

Example: Properties SETWALLPAPER=center

 

 

tile

The image will be tiled across the screen.

Example: Properties SETWALLPAPER=tile

 

 

stretch

The image will be stretched (or shrunk) to fill the screen completely.

Example: Properties SETWALLPAPER stretch

 

 

fit

The image will be cropped if necessary to fill the screen. The aspect ratio of the image will be preserved. This is only available on Windows 7 and above.

Example: Properties SETWALLPAPER=fit

 

 

fill

The image will be stretched or shrunk to fill screen, but the aspect ratio will be preserved - and so black bars may be displayed on the sides or top and bottom of the image. This is only available on Windows 7 and above.

Example: Properties SETWALLPAPER fill

 

 

menu

Displays a drop-down menu of the various wallpaper modes (acts as a dynamic button). Selecting a mode from this menu sets the selected image file as the wallpaper using that mode. This is useful when added to the context menu for the Images file type group.

Example: Properties SETWALLPAPER=menu

SINGLE

/S

(no value)

Modifies the behaviour of the Properties command when more than one file or folder is selected. By default a combined Properties dialog is shown for all selected items, but if SINGLE is specified an individual Properties dialog is shown for each item.

Example: Properties SINGLE
