File explorer format
You can define a custom format for the file explorer through the configuration. This is possible for both the local and the remote host, so you can use two different syntaxes. The fields are named File formatter syntax (local) and File formatter syntax (remote), and they define how the file entries are displayed in the file explorer.
Syntax
The syntax for the formatter is the following:
{KEY1}... {KEY2:LENGTH}... {KEY3:LENGTH:EXTRA} {KEYn}...
Each key in braces is replaced with the related attribute, while everything outside braces is left unchanged.
- The key name is mandatory and must be one of the keys below.
LENGTHdescribes the width reserved to display the field. Static attributes do not support it (GROUP,PEX,SIZE,USER).EXTRAis supported only by some keys and provides an additional option. See the keys below to check whetherEXTRAis supported.
Keys
These are the keys supported by the formatter:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
ATIME | Last access time (default %b %d %Y %H:%M); EXTRA is the time format (e.g. {ATIME:8:%H:%M}) |
CTIME | Creation time (default %b %d %Y %H:%M); EXTRA is the time format (e.g. {CTIME:8:%H:%M}) |
GROUP | Owner group |
MTIME | Last change time (default %b %d %Y %H:%M); EXTRA is the time format (e.g. {MTIME:8:%H:%M}) |
NAME | File name (folders between root and first ancestors are elided if longer than LENGTH) |
PATH | File absolute path (folders between root and first ancestors are elided if longer than LENGTH) |
PEX | File permissions (UNIX format) |
SIZE | File size (omitted for directories) |
SYMLINK | Symlink target (if any, -> {FILE_PATH}) |
USER | Owner user |
Default format
If left empty, the default formatter syntax is used:
{NAME:24} {PEX} {USER} {SIZE} {MTIME:17:%b %d %Y %H:%M}
