Desktop

From here you can set up some features of Opus 5's desktop environment.

  The function of the main listview depends on the state of the cycle
  gadget above it.

  Hidden drives:
    The listview contains a list of all the drive icons Opus can see. If
    you wish for some of these icons to not be displayed (for instance if
    they are not AmigaDOS volumes) then simply click on their entries.

  Hidden drives (bad disks only):
    Using the listview you may selectively hide devices that have bad disks
    in them. For example, if you had four filesystems mounted on the one
    drive, you could hide all of them for bad disks except for one.


  Desktop Folder:
    This is the physical location of the drawer used by Opus to hold the
    desktop files (files which are actually copied to the desktop). By
    default this is the directory DOpus5:Desktop. You may change this
    location but we do not recommend it since it establishes connections
    outside the parent DOpus5: directory tree. If the location is changed,
    you will have to move any current files in the old desktop drawer to
    the new location before they will be noticed.


  PopUp Enabled:
    If you turn this flag on, when you drop a file onto the desktop, a
    popup menu will appear giving you a choice of several actions,
    unless Default Action (below) is not set to None.

  Default Action:
    When the Desktop popup is enabled, the default action option allows
    you to choose the action to be performed by default when you drag a
    file to the desktop. If None is set (the default), then the popup menu
    appears  as normal. However, if you set Create Left-out,
    Move to Desktop or Copy to Desktop, then that action will be performed
    without a popup menu appearing. With a default action set in this  way,
    access to the popup menu is still possible by holding down either shift
    key when you drop the file onto the desktop.
