Folder settings

Select a folder in edit mode to get these.

One setting changes all the others

A folder is drawn one of two ways, and Show Folder Contents decides which.

With it on, the folder is a container with its contents laid out inside it. With it off, the folder is a single icon. The icon, font and name settings only apply in the second case, so they disappear when contents are shown.

If a folder is already inside the folder, it is always treated as a single icon.

Properties

Name

Renames the actual folder on disk.

Icon, Font Size, Font Style, Max Lines, Show Card

Only when Show Folder Contents is off. They work exactly as they do for a file. See File settings.

Sorting

The order of the contents, and the direction. See Sorting and order.

Container Type

How the contents are arranged: Vertical as a list, Horizontal as a wrapping grid, or Carousel as a row that scrolls sideways.

Show Folder Contents

Whether the folder becomes a container that displays its contents or sits there as a single folder.

Show Hidden Files

Reveals files your system marks as hidden, for this folder only. See Pinning and hiding.

Card Colour and Decoration

On themes that have them, and once the folder is drawing a card, either through Show Card or by showing its contents:

• Scrapbook: a card colour, plus tape or torn paper
• Neon: a glow colour

See Themes.

Ignored Items

Lists everything you have hidden inside this folder, with a button to bring each one back. Only appears while the folder is showing its contents and something in it is hidden.

Popup Settings

Controls when this folder opens in its own popup window. See Widget popups.

Layout

Dimensions sets the folder’s size: the icon when contents are hidden, the container when they are shown.

Folders on the board also get Position, Rotation and Order. See Resizing and layering.
