DESCRIPTION
edit a directory information file which can be used to describe
the contents of a directory more specific than it is possible
by only setting the directory name.
To create or edit a directory info file mark one or more
directories, and use the
DirInfo
menu in the
'SendTo'
menu of the
Windows™
Explorer.
The
DirInfo
command then provides a template to be filled out or loads an
existing info file present in the directory.
By default the directory information file is visible.
The default
can be changed in the
DirInfo.cfg
file.
If a specific directory information file should be hidden,
press the
LEFT CONTROL
key on command start.
If a specific directory information file should be visible,
press the
RIGHT CONTROL
key on command start.
When a directory that contains a directory info file is compressed
to a
*.zip
file, the directory information can be viewed as when viewing the
information of a directory
(mark
*.zip
file and use
DirInfo
in the
'SendTo'
context menu of
Windows™
Explorer)
without to decompress the
*.zip
archive.
