Display options group

• Surround subdirs with < > - Put < in front of subdir name and > at the end.
• Volume label for drives - Display volume label just after directory name. This is only displayed for root drives (c:, d:, etc.)
• File count in directory row - Display file count for each directory just after directory name. This information is presented in brackets, except for CSV, where it is in separate column. If you set mask different than '*.*', this number will be counted only from files which match the mask. Subdirectoried are not counted and only files in given directory are counted, without subdirs.
• Show time in date columns - Display time as part of date columns.
• End directories with \ - Put a backslash as a last character of each directory. This option only affects directory rows and does not affect subdirectories displayed as part of directory contents.
• Draw dirs tree - Draw a directories tree from ASCII characters. This option works properly only for text listings, when Hide empty dirs option is disabled, when directories are sorted by name in ascending order and when no filters are applied.
• Path - Select which portion of path should be displayed:
  • Full - Display whole path
  • No drive - Don't display the drive letter
  • From top-checked dir - Display the path starting from the top-most selected directory. Program will find top-directory which is a common parent directory for all selected directories on the same drive.
  • Top-checked is root - Display the path starting from, but without the top-most selected directory as if it was the root directory. Program will find top-directory which is a common parent directory for all selected directories on the same drive.
  • Current dir only - Display only the current directory, without any parent directory part.
  • From distinct top-checked dir - Display the path starting from the top-most selected directory. Top-selected directory is the first directory which has a white checked mark or gray checked mark.
  • Distint top-checked is root - Display the path starting from, but without the top-most selected directory as if it was the root directory. Top-selected directory is the first directory which has a white checked mark or gray checked mark.
  See the following example of how the listing will look like for different Path options when the following folders on the "d:" drive are selected:

  Name
  d:\demo\
  example file in demo dir.txt
  d:\demo\first dir\
  example file in first dir.txt

Header options group

• Display summary - Display total files, directories and size for the whole listing at the top of it or at the bottom.
• Column names in header - Display column names in front of files.
• Title - You can provide your custom title that will be displayed in listing header and in HTML <title> HTML tag.
• Program information in header - Display timestamp, program name and version in the header. This option works after registration only.

• Files treated all together - Treat files as if they were in one directory, that is numbering and sorting is done for all files regardles in which directory they reside. This option is only enabled when Directory rows option is unchecked on Display page.
• Treat archives as directories - Display .rar and .zip archives contents as if they were normal directories.
• Count hashes for directories - Generates a hash sum for each directory. This is achieved by counting a hash value from all hash values for the files in a given directory. Before counting this hash value, all files' hash values are sorted so you are able to find out if two directories contain the same files even if they are named differently. Whirlpool hash sum is recommended for doing such comparisons as it provides the most unique hash values.
• Display NTFS compound properties - This will force to read NTFS file system properties for each file. These properties are not included in the file itself, and are only stored for NTFS drives. This option makes the listing very slow!
• Recognize numbers while sorting - If several files contain numbers in their names, then these numbers will be recognized by the sorting algorithm and sorted in logical (ascending or descending) order instead of raw ASCII comparison. See the below example how two files will be sorted when this option is checked or unchecked:
  

  Order when this option is disabled	Order when this option is enabled
  My 10 image.jpg	My 5 image.jpg
  My 5 image.jpg	My 10 image.jpg

• Listing in each directory - Generate listing in each scanned directory under the name taken from 'Listing name:' edit box. Extension is automatically added.
  WARNING! This file is ALWAYS overwritten so be sure not to choose a name that will delete your own files!
• Limit recursion level - If you choose 0 for this option then the program will not go into any subdirectory of a selected directory. When you select 1 for this option then the program will go only to subdirectories of a selected directory. When you select 2 for this option the program will enter subdirectories of a selected directory and their subdirectories, but not any furter. And so on. Please note this option means the program will not include and deeper level than selected into any statistics. So this option limits both, how deep to look for directories and (since they are not traversed) the display level of subdirectories.
• Limit display level - This option causes the program to enter all levels of subdirectories of a selected directory (unless the above option is selected), but any level deeper than selected will not be displayed.

• Date format - Select how the date will look like.
• Time format - Select how the time will look like.
• Size display - Display directory and file sizes in Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes or Dynamic - depending on size, in proper measure.
• Size precision - When you choose 'Size display' other than Bytes this is the number of digits after the decimal point.
• Thousand separator - Select character used for separate thousands in sizes.
• Decimal separator - Select character used for separate decimal numbers from integer numbers in sizes.

• Text file - Generate plain text file.
• HTML file - Generate HTML file.
• CSV file - Generate CSV file. This is very useful if you want to open the output in Excel or import it to a database.
• Encoding - Select whether output should be saved in Unicode format or ANSI format. Usually you don't need to change this option as the UTF-8 format is the best choice.

• Auto column widths - Automatically count column widths based on the longest string in that column.
• Wrap columns - When column widths are fixed and a column string exceeds given width, it will be wrapped to the next (and more) lines.

• Generate links to files - Generate links to actual files. Normally, path is copied into HREF part of a tag, except for Path: From top-checked dir and Top-checked is root options. In these cases HREF part does not contain leading '\' char, so you can browse subfolders when copied to appropriate directory.
• Generate links to dirs - Generate links to actual directories. The same rule takes effect as for files.
  
• Put file:// into links - Insert "file://" into html <a> tag. This is for browsing local files in Opera and Firefox browsers.
• Links to subdirs inside listing - Create links to the place in the current listing where a particular subdir contents are listed.
• Include external CSS - You can provide your custom CSS file that will be included just after default CSS definitions within the <style> HTML tag. Specify only the styles themselves, without any HTML tags.
• Element - Choose a HTML element here for which you can change Font, Color and Size.

• Separator - A character used for separating columns in CSV file. If separator is present in a particular column then this column is surrounded with double quotation marks (").
• Tab - Use Tab character as separator, thus you can open the output file in eg. Excel.

• Remember dirs selection - This will save 'DirListerPro.dls' containing current selection on exit and load this selection file when you start Directory Lister next time. This file is located in "%APPDATA%\KRKsoft\Directory Lister Pro" directory.
• Enable shell integration - This option allows you to start Directory Lister Pro from a context menu interface in Windows Explorer.
• Automatically refresh preview - Refresh preview window on each option change and directory selection change.
• Automatically check for updates - Every 30 days program will check if a new version is available and will display a window allowing you to download the latest version.
• Enable tool tips - Enable tool tips which are shown after you hold a mouse for a while over an option.
