Title: How to get DirOpus Magellan II to show all files by default?
Post by: mingle on December 27, 2009, 11:10:49 AM

Hi,

I'm currently trying out DirOpus Magellan II, but am having trouble trying to get the file listers to show all files by default (right-click -> view as -> show all).

I seem to have to enable the 'show all' option every time I open the directories and can find no info about making this a 'default' setting.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Mike.

Snapshot the lister.

Hi AmiKit,

Thanks for the reply!

I'm actually trying out AmiKit 1.5.0 with Opus II :-)

The drive I'm looking at is one of my Windows XP partitions (WinDH_E). Strangely, my Win XP Boot partition C: (which is showing up on the AmiKit 'desktop' as "Local Disk") and has a nice shiny icon and also displays all files by default...

Is there any way I can configure Opus II to recognise my E: drive in the same was as it does with C:?

I'm guessing that your suggestion of snap-shotting the lister means I'd have to do it for every sub-directory, one by one?

Cheers,

Mike.

No need for. All settings are stored in the root of the partition. Just do a "show all" on the root and all sub-drawers will have all files visible.

If you run Opus along the top menu  is one headed "Listers" right click & on the bottom of the drop down menu you will see "View as" with another drop down menu offering
name
Icon
Icon action
Show all

You can then mark how you want your icons shown.

You can then safe the enviroment & layout.
Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies...

@rkauer,

Doesn't seem to work.  I've set the 'root' directory of WinDH_E to show all, but all sub-dirs are 'empty' unless I individually set "show all" then snapshot.

See attached pic... (apologies for the minuscule image size - blame Amiga.org's image limits! :-))

Hmm... Any other ideas?

Cheers,

Mike.
