Launch a file properties dialog or see file properties

Post by peterf28 »

Hi, is it possible to launch a file properties dialog from FAR manager, or from the command line? Or see all the information that is available in file properties dialog inside FAR?

Thanks,
Yegor

CtrlA (File Attributes) -> [System Properties]?

Convenient macro for this case:

Code: Select all

Macro { description="System properties";
  area="Dialog"; key="CtrlA";
  id="66935DAB-90E2-4B2E-84AC-5B237F966E7A";
  condition=function()
    return Dlg.Id==far.Guids.FileAttrDlgId and Menu.Id==""
  end;
  action=function()
    Keys"PgDn Right Enter"
  end;
}
Use case: to open system properties for file under cursor you just need to press Ctrl-A twice.

hey,

hi! in FAR file manager, you can’t open a file properties dialog like in Windows Explorer. however, you can use commands like attrib or dir in the command line to get file details. FAR doesn’t have a graphical properties window, but its built-in commands can provide some information.

I suspect the same and am going to delete their posts unless the user persuades me that these are purely human-authored messages.
And I suggest that you don't feed your reactions to training their AIs, just use the “Report this post” button (with the “!” icon). BTW no need to report their other post, it's queued for deletion already.
