View

These settings affect the way paths are displayed in the Folder Pane.

Visibility

Show hidden files and folders: This needs to be checked (or turned on with Ctrl+H) in order to see a number of special folders, e.g. C:\Users\<user name>\AppData
Show system files and folders: Turn this off to avoid accidentally moving or deleting critical system files.
Hide temporary files: Hides temporary files that can contribute to the clutter of large folders.

Sorting

Sets the sorting defaults for folders that you haven't already changed the sort order for. Once you do change the sort order for a particular folder, One Commander remembers that sort order, overriding the defaults.
Keep folders on top: You may prefer to have folders always listed above files ("folders on top"), and this sets the default for doing so. It can be overridden using the button above the list of files, which toggles "folders on top" on and off.
Sort folders by name always: This ensures that the sort order of folders is unaffected by any changes you make to the sort order using any of the other columns.

Other

Auto-switch to Thumbs+Details view: The Thumbs+Details File View is optimized for folders containing image files. This setting checks folders for which you haven't already chosen a File View Design to see whether they might look better using the Thumbs+Details File View. You can override One Commander's choice by selecting another File View Design using the button in the Folder Pane Toolbar.
Scrolling behavior:

  • Pixel: This mode supports high-resolution touchpads (you may need to set "Use high resolution scrolling" in Settings > Advanced").
  • Item: Scrolling the file display moves the list by full item height, and snaps to the next full item. It scrolls by the number of lines set in the Windows System mouse settings. This means that if the cursor is hovering over a file while you're scrolling, it steps so that it will always be over a file whenever you stop scrolling. It's better for slower machines or for accessibility reasons.
Show folder background image: Set this if you'd like to have background images for folders.
