Additional Notes About the File List

About the Columns

    Additional information about some of the columns:
    The Name column cannot be removed.
    The information displayed in the Created and Modified columns depends on the width of the columns. At their minimum width, only a date of the form "12/25/98" is displayed. As the column is widened, more information is displayed, up to a maximum of "Friday, December 25, 1998, 11:02:46 PM".
    The Label column can display either the label color or the label name. If the option is to display the color and the column is wide enough, both are displayed.

The Add Column/Reverse Sort Button

    This button at the far right of the list headings serves two distinct functions:
    When simply clicked and released, it reverses the sort order. The pyramid of little lines flips over when the sort order is reversed.
    When the button is pressed, a menu drops down which can be used to add or remove columns, or restore the default columns. Columns can also be removed by dragging them up out of the bar, and the column order can be changed by dragging a column from one position to another.

Key Scrolling

    The file list supports key scrolling. That is, the list scrolls to match characters typed in. Typing characters less than 2/3 of a second apart concatenates them together and File Buddy looks for the string. After 2/3 second without additional characters, the string starts over.
