Details Mode

This page contains options that control the appearance and behavior of File Displays when they are set to Details mode.

• Display grid lines: Lets you configure the display of horizontal gridlines. There are a number of different line patterns available, as well as a solid fill which gives the effect of alternating solid lines behind the text. You can set the color and opacity of the gridlines (the opacity setting determines how solid the lines appear, and how much they are blended with the background color or image). If the Grid lines only in source file display option is enabled, the gridlines (or fill) will only be displayed when a file display is set as source.
• Display icons: Lets you turn off the display of file icons in Details mode.
  • Hide icons when thumbnail column is visible: If the Thumbnail column is displayed, you may not want to show file icons as well - turning this option on will hide the icons automatically when the Thumbnail column is present.
• Extra line padding: Lets you add additional padding inside each line, making each line taller and a larger area to click on. The padding you specify will be scaled if your config is used in a different DPI.
• Extra line spacing: Lets you add additional spacing between each line. A particular use for this is to add one extra pixel between lines if you dislike the way selection boxes overlap (producing a thin line between each selected item) in some versions of Windows. If you add more than one pixel of spacing, you will start to get gaps between items where clicking them is like clicking the folder background. Unlike padding, the spacing value does not change when you move to different DPIs.
• File selection / highlighting style: Lets you control both how selected files are displayed and which areas of the line respond to mouse clicks for selecting files.
   
  • Filename only:
    
    
    
    Only the filename is active - clicking anywhere to the left or right of the filename will not select the item
    
    
  • Full width of the Name column:
    
    
    
    The entire Name column is active - clicking anywhere to the left or right of that column will not select the item
    
    
  • Full row:
    
    
    
    The entire row is active - you can click anywhere on the item, in any column, to activate it.
    
    
  • Always highlight full row: Normally the option above controls both the active area for selection and the width of the highlight that is displayed for selected items. If this option is on, the full row will be highlighted when an item is selected, irrespective of which option is selected for the active area.
    
    
• Sort-field specific key scrolling: Normally, when you type in the file display (and the Find-As-You-Type field comes up in Find mode), Opus will search for items by name and scroll to show them. If this option is on, the current sort field can affect this behavior - for example, if the list is sorted by the Type column, the FAYT field will search for items by file type rather than by name.
• Thumbnail column aspect ratio: This option controls the aspect ratio of the Thumbnail column. The width of the Thumbnail column is set like the width of any other column - by resizing the column header using the mouse (or using the Default width option on the Fields page). The aspect ratio you specify controls the row height. For example, setting the aspect ratio to 1:1 would mean the row height of each line would be the same as the width of the column.
• Show thumbnail borders: This option lets you choose whether thumbnails in the Thumbnail column have a border displayed for them, and if so, what color the frame is filled with.
