# General Options

## Prefer better but slower disk size evaluation

One of du and statfs commands must be used to retrieve a local directory or a mounted file system used size for statistics.

statfs is quicker but does not work on local directories (recommanded)

du -s is slower but does works on local directories

## Warn if the CD is mounted

## Eject the CD after a fast scan

If checked, the eject program is called after a scan. See the Section called Cdrom options

Warning: eject will not work if you use automount because eject needs the CD to be unmounted and with automount it does it and you have no control of it.

## Read the CD name on the CD

If checked, gtktalog will try to read the CD label and set it as the name. This feature does not seem to work with automount.

## Prompt to validate the CD name

If checked, you will be prompted for the CD name while it is scanned.

## Double click on a file to see information

If checked, the content of the information field will be displayed in a dialog box. This is not available in files inside VFS because their information field is empty

If unchecked, GTKtalog tries to open the selected file with the default program for this file type. The links between file types and programs is manageable through the gnome control center : "Document Handlers/File types and programs"

## Date format gets from locale settings

See your system documentation to change your locale date settings.

## Date format user defined

- %D : Date (28/08/01)

## Display directory sizes

Check this option to view the directory sizes in the right frame (size field)

## Max number of recent files

## Save the left tree window size

If checked, GTKtalog will remember the left frame width.

## Save the main window position and size

If checked, GTKtalog will open up the same as the last time you closed it

If unchecked, GTKtalog will always have its main window be set the same position and size

## Toolbar style

## New search type

This option sets the mode of the "Find dialog" when it opens.

Choose "Last used" to open the find dialog in the mode it was when it was closed.
