PREFERENCES…

    This command lets you set Bat Filer parameters.  They include:

        • Max. # of Files:  Changes the maximum size of the file list.

        • Check Duplicates:  If not activated, no check is made to see if files being added to the file list are already in the list.  Speeds-up adding files.  Best used when adding an entire volume of files to an empty file list.

        • Calculate Folder Sizes:  Affects folder sizes shown in the Add Files window.  It has 3 options:
             ◊ NO Volumes:   no folder sizes are shown.  This makes for fastest operation.
             ◊ All Volumes:  folder sizes are shown.  When you select "Add Files", sizes of all folders on all volumes are calculated.  This makes for a delay before starting, but no delay when switching between volumes.
             ◊ Current Volume:  folder sizes are shown.  Sizes of folders on the current volume ONLY are calculated.  Slightly faster beginning than "All Volumes", but there is delay whenever switching between volumes.
