For configuration click the second top-left button.
First of all you should choose your language by clicking the first button
"global settings" and clicking on "Select Language". Now choose your language
followed by click on "Okay", "Okay" and "Save". Now restarting configuration.
In fact configuration is very easy and so just try it, if you doesnīt want to

below there is a line with the functions "Copy Buttons", "Swap Buttons",
"Delete Buttons"
-
in the line above there will be orders

Clicking on a button will popup the button-configuration-window

Enter the title and the colors (donīt forget to choose the foreground color,
the default value is the background color)

If you want a hotkey for this button, click on "Choose Shortkey" and press the key

for deleting an existing hotkey click on the same button with the right mousebutton

the paths are organized in banks with same nr. of rows defined in global settings.
In Worker right-clicked on a path-button will change to next bank
-
the settings are self-explaining
-
Filetypes
-
Choose the action you want
-
for a new button, the definition is the same as for buttons
-
You can enter a file-pattern (for example *.txt), donīt forget to activate
"Use Pattern"
-
Using filecontent recognize the filetype also on files with wrong extension
-
You can enter 64 Bytes of your type (if you know the structure) or you use
the "Automatic creation"
-
Enter 3 files (for best results the should differ in many ways (but of cause
they must be of the same type)). If the file you enter exists, the box on the
right side will changed black. When all files exists, click "Okay". Perhaps you
should delete some errors (for example mostly there are bytes in an empty enviroment
).
-
Note: there are also types that cant recongize in the first 64 Bytes.
-
Donīt forget to activate "Use filecontent"
-
Hotkeys

Mainly the same as buttons but without visual representation.

Font
-
Here you can enter any X11-Font, if it doesnīt exists, there will be an error message.
-
Hint: Using the X-program "xfontsel" for selecting font and then enter the name.
-
But: The font should be fixed-sized (each character has the same size)
Builtin functions:
-
own command: for using extern programs
-
Note for StringRequester: You can also enter an infotext and perhaps a default-text:
After "{Rs" enter the infotext in the from "<your info text>"
Enter the default-text right-after.
But of cause there is no need for this.
Example: {Rs<Enter extension><.tmp>} will popup a requester with the text
"Enter extension" and the default-value ".tmp"
-
Quit: Self-explain
-
Copy/Move: The flag "request these flags before..." is interesting because of changing
