Description
Code
Format lock control
Displays the format lock
icon (
). This icon indicates the current state of
the format lock, and
clicking it will toggle the lock on and off. Hovering the mouse over the
icon displays a tooltip indicating how the current folder format
was derived.
The {gfl} form displays a
grayscale rather than color icon.
{fl}
{gfl}
Busy indicator
Displays the status bar busy
indicator (
). This is shown whenever a background task
connected to the Lister is running - for example, performing a non-indexed
Windows search, or
extracting data from an archive. It will not be visible at other
times.
The busy indicator will always be displayed
when needed - this code is only used if you want to control where on
the status bar it appears. Otherwise it will be located on the extreme
left-hand edge of the status bar.
{busy}
Icons
Lets you display an arbitary icon in the
status bar. For example, instead of status bar text that reads
Folders: xxx / yyy you could display a generic folder
icon.
{i:dir} {sd}/{td} {i:file} {sf}/{tf} {i:.mp3} {smp3}/{tmp3}
You may want this to save space on the status bar or for purely cosmetic reasons.
You can specify a generic folder icon ({i:dir}), a generic file icon ({i:file}), or an icon for a specific file type (e.g. {i:.mp3} for an MP3 file icon).
You can also use your own custom icon or image by providing the path and filename of the icon. For example, {i:/mypictures/myicon.png}. The image file will be automatically scaled down to fit the status bar.
{i:dir}
{i:file}
{i:<ext>}
{i:<filename>}
Bar graphs
Bar graphs can be used to visually
represent a value as a percentage. The default behaviour of bar graphs is
to display the percentage of disk space used on the current drive, but
using the various parameters for the {bg} code you can configure a bar
graph to represent any other status bar value as a percentage of either
another value or an absolute amount.
See the page on bar graphs for full details on
configuring the graphs.
