Status Bar

There are three Status Modes available to you:

Displaying Mode

Filer48 comes with a nice Explorer* Look, by default the "old" interface will be enabled, but you can easily switch between the different modes with the key, once you activate the Explorer Interface you will see a mini-Tree on the left side of the screen and the objects on the right side, to go from one side to another use the and keys. Inside this mini-Tree you can browse through the Ports/Dirs like in the normal TREE, but each time you move the cursor, the objects on the right side will be updated according to the current Port/Dir


*Explorer Mode available in the Standard, Full & Jazz flavors only.


Intelligent Menu

The new internal Menu engine displays only the Functions that can be executed in the current Environment (VAR, PORT, BACKUP, LIB) for example if you are exploring a Library, Functions like EDIT, RENAM, COPY, MOVE won't appear at all in the Menu, this way you'll quickly use the available Functions. Naturally this applies to your CUSTOM Menus too.
