| FAR - Frequently Asked Questions | |
| Q: How do I save FAR properties? | |
| A: This is not problem for NT, but Windows 95 does not save console application properties. You can solve this problem by the following way: create batch file FAR.BAT and run FAR.EXE from it. Windows 95 saves batch file properties, so it is most universal and easy way, but it reduces memory available for DOS applications by few Kb. To avoid it, you can later try to replace "FAR.BAT" with "FAR.EXE" in the "Cmd line" parameter of the FAR.BAT properties. | |
| Q: How do I switch they keyboard to national language? | |
| A: Under Windows 95 it is performed in the same way as with DOS applications, so your DOS keyboard driver must be loaded (a Windows standard one, or any other). Switching languages under Windows NT is similar to other Windows (not DOS!) applications and requires Windows support for desired language to be installed. | |
| Q: Why doesn't FAR accept Windows 95 clipboard pasting? | |
| A: If you wish to use Windows 95 Paste function within FAR, uncheck the "Fast pasting" option in the FAR properties. Do not forget that in most cases FAR can paste text itself, using Shift-Ins key and copy using Ctrl-Ins or screen grabber (Alt-Ins). | |
| Q: How do I make panels half-screen? | |
| A: Use Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down to change panels height. | |
| Q: How do I switch time format to 12-hour? | |
| A: Select desired panel view mode using "File panel modes" command from "Options" menu and increase width of time or date and time columns by 1. | |
| Q: How do I show tge seconds on file time? | |
| A: Similar to the previous item, but width must be increased by 3. Moreover, if you are using NTFS file system and wish to see milliseconds, you can achieve it increasing time column width by 7. Of course, after such operation may be necessary to correct other columns types and widths to fit all information in screen | |
| Q: How do I show all folders in uppercase? |
|
| A: Select desired panel view mode using "File panel modes" command from "Options" menu and select "Show folders in uppercase". Read online help to get description of other options of this dialog. | |
| Q: I want wide panel with 4 name columns | |
| A: Use Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right when command line is empty
to change panels width proportions. "File panel modes" command from "Options" menu allows you to modify or completely change view mode settings. For example, to create 4 file name columns enter column types N,N,N,N and column widths 0,0,0,0. All column types are described in the online help. |
|
| Q: How do I get network names and disk labels in "Change drive" menu? | |
| A: You can do it with Ctrl-2 and Ctrl-3. Ctrl-1 switches disk types displaying, Ctrl-4 - file system, Ctrl-5 - total and free disk size, Ctrl-6 - displaying of removable disks information, Ctrl-7 - displaying plugin commands. Using Del in this dialog you can unmap network drives. | |
| Q: Why is screen output slow? | |
| A: Windows implementation of Win32 console applications screen output is not too fast... | |
| Q: How do I resume a broken FTP transfer | |
| A: Restart transfer and select "Resume" choice in the "File already exists..." prompt. But this feature is correctly supported by only a part of FTP servers. | |
| Q: Is it secure enough to save FTP passwords in FTP list | |
| A: Definitely no! Passwords are stored in the registry and slightly
encrypted, but FAR sends them to server in plain text, so they can be decrypted with local FTP server.
Also passwords can be used even without decrypting. Do not store your FTP passwords if somebody else has access to your registry information. Enter them directly before connection. |
|
| Q: How do I calculate folder size | |
| A: Press F3 on the folder name. If you need to get sizes of several folders, select all of them before pressing F3. | |
| Q: How do I view SFX archive contents? | |
| A: Press Ctrl-PgDn on the SFX name. | |
| Q: Why <...> archiver does not work correctly? | |
| A: To process archives archive support plugin calls external tools.
Archiver commands, switches and behaviour may depend from archiver version. Try to enable the "Do
not hide archivers output" option in the archive support plugin configuration dialog and look to
archiver error messages to identify invalid switches. You can edit archive command lines using the
"Archive support: command lines" item of "Plugins configuration" menu. Read online
help before editing to get special variables description. Another problem is long file names support by archiver. If you have choice you should use archiver version which supports long file names. For example, use console RAR for Win32 instead of RAR for DOS. If your RAR version understands -r0 (release RAR/Win32 2.00) replace "-r" with "-r0" for RAR "Add" and "Move" commands. |
|
| Q: How do I move FAR settings to another computer? | |
| A: Use SaveSettings.bat and RestoreSettings.bat files from the distribution. | |
| Q: Why does FAR not run again after executing some programs under NT? | |
| A: Such problem really exists with programs, leaving TSR part in memory. To fix it add NTCMDPROMPT command to config.nt | |
| Q: Where can I find the latest FAR version? | |
| A: On this site! Click on downloads to visit the download section |
