These settings really are intended to be used only if you have to; most users will never go near them. They are explained in detail in the tab, and they cover:

  • Rendering: how the OneCommander window is rendered (i.e. drawn)
  • Watcher issues: this refers to the way that OneCommander watches for changes in files and folders, so that the file and folder display is kept up to date. You can edit the list of files that are excluded from watching, or track down what might be causing the problem if you encounter a "Something is spamming your filesystem with file changes errors" condition.
  • Check and notify when there is text on clipboard: Stops OneCommander notifying you when you return to OneCommander and there's text in the clipboard.
  • How OneCommander deals with reparse points: If you don't know what these are, then you don't need to worry about this setting.
  • Check and notify when there is text on clipboard: This refers to the notification that appears when you return to OneCommander and there is text in the clipboard.
  • Fix Stylus lag: May help if you are experience lags in response to stylus operations.
  • Use old Drag & Drop system: Turn on if some other programs don't accept drop operations from OneCommander (in other words, they stop accepting files that you are attempting to drop in them).
  • Use high-resolution scrolling: This setting allows smooth scrolling for high-resolution touchpads.
  • Register as a default file manager: This completely replaces Windows File Manager on your system. It's currently experimental; only use it if you're comfortable with making changes to the Windows Registry (which you may need to do if something goes wrong).
  • Register Win+E hotkey: This changes the action of Win+E so that it opens OneCommander if it's running in the background, or starts OneCommander if it's shut down. It doesn't replace Windows File Explorer, although because of a shortcoming in the way that Windows receives the message, if you click on the Windows File Manager icon in the Windows Taskbar it launches OneCommander. Windows File Explorer is still available when it's launched in other ways (e.g. from the Start menu or by double-clicking on a folder on the Windows desktop).
