Tools - Settings - View - Status bar


The menu item "Tools → Settings → View → Status bar" defines the content of the status bar. The status bar is located below the list of files/folders in both panels (see chapter "Overview of the user interface").



Wrappable

If this setting is checked and the FreeCommander main window is not maximized, two rows are reserved for the status bar.

If the window is maximized, the status bar always consists of one row.

Show spacer bars

If this setting is checked, spacer bars are shown between the fields of the status bar.

Status bar height

This setting specifies the height of the status bar in pixels.

Color

This field shows the colors and the font of the status bar.

Color settings

By clicking the button, the following colors can be chosen:

  • Font color for fields whose color is not defined individually
  • Color for the start of the background gradient
  • Color for the end of the background gradient
  • Use system colors

Font

By clicking the button, the font can be specified.

Add new item (field)

Clicking the button opens a list with the following conditions for determining when the highlighted item is active:

  • For multi selection:                        if multiple files and/or folders are selected
  • For single selection:                        if one file or folder is selected
  • For single selection plain view:        if one file or folder is selected in a plain view

Rename item

Clicking the button or a highlighted name string in the list opens an edit field where the name can be changed.

Delete item

Clicking the button deletes the highlighted item.

Move item up

Clicking the button moves the highlighted item up one row. 

Move item down

Clicking the button moves the highlighted item down one row.


Each time the highlighted file or folder changes in the panel, the rows of the status bar content list are analyzed from the top down for whether the condition and filter match. The details of the topmost matching row are then shown in the status bar.

Filter

After clicking the button, a filter can be defined for when the highlighted status bar item will be active.
