Standard adjustments

From version 1.80c this section consists of several tabs:

 Colors:

In the upper right is the drop-down gadget containing some predefined color-schemes. You may want to use this if you changed resolution to 8Bit temporarily.

Below this you can see the four possibilities of files:

File not selected
File selected
Dir not selected
Dir selected
Below are:
Path of inactive directory window (Destination)
Path of active directory window (Source)
Statusbar
The 'Directory Entry Test...' is a mirror of a line in the directory windows. Use the left slider to adjust the size of the line, the right slider to adjust the fontsize. Double-click on the line to change the font. Windows 95 seems to substitute some of the fonts. Don't know how to prevent this. You therefor can not use all fonts. Further you should only use non-proportional fonts. It works fine, but look quite ugly.

Bank

This lets you configure your buttonbank.
You can select the number of vertical buttons, the number of horizontal buttons and the gaps between single buttons. Should be quite self-explaining.
You can set the function for a third mouse-button here, too. You will have to switch off double-click emulation for the third button in your Windows-settings.
Due to space problems, some options have been moved here:

Paths

Here you can define the paths to your prefered ASCII and HEX editors and viewers and your favourite Virus-Scanner.
Below this is a wide drop down gadget containing all your drives and your preferred directories.
On entering this configuration window, the path of your active directory is displayed in the gadget. Click on it and press 'Return' to add this directory to your preferred directories list. These directories will be accessible via Alt-F1, Alt-F2 or Select Drive. It is quite convenient if you have your text files saved in a directory like Y:\WINDOWS\WORD\TEXT\PRIVATE\ME\FOOBAR and you want to get there as fast as possible. These directory definitions are saved with the configuration.
Assigning names:
You can enter a certain directory inside the field with your keyboard, too.
You may want to add a 'name' or description for this directory. For the case above, you may want to use 'Texts2' as a description. Do this by using a '>' behind the directory and then then name you want to use. i.e.: Y:\WINDOWS\WORD\TEXT\PRIVATE\ME\FOOBAR>Texts2
You can assign names to drives (C:\, A:\), but these names are NOT saved ! Below this is the startup-directory definition. You can define a startup- directory for the left and the right window. Double-clicking the text- gadget will bring the path from the directory-definition gadget to the startup text-gadget. Of course you can enter a directory by yourself. It is also possible to enter 'home' or 'current', where 'home' is the directory where the PCOpus executable is located and 'current' is the current directory you are in when starting PCOpus.
Below this is a drop-down gadget that displays the current temporary directory. The drop-down list containes the following directories to select from:

Of course you can enter any directory you like. If the path you entered does not exist, PCOpus will use the path you used before changing.

Archive

This allows setting of archive paths and options.
You can enter your path to ARJ, LHA, PKZIP, PKUNZIP and RAR executables, WinRAR is supported, too.
You do not need to enter something for the archivers if the executables are in your DOS (or Windows) path.

Pop-Up

The Pop-Up-Menu is a Context-Menu-Like Menu. It can be accessed by holding the right mouse-button down for slightly more than half a second. When the 'Shift'-Key is held down when the right button is pressed, the menu is opened immediately.
The size of the menu can be changed and is saved with the configuration.
The configuration is done here. The following items are available:
