The Attribute preferences page is accessed by selecting Options, followed by Preferences and finally Folders from the main menu bar. Then click on the Attribute tab at the top of the preferences dialog.
Attributes and timestamps
You can configure the way Magellan Explorer modifies attributes and timestamps on folders. These options apply to the Attribute and Group Attribute tools. The options available are.
·
Ask before setting attributes for files in sub folders
·
Always set attributes for files in folders
·
Never set attributes for files in sub folders and don't ask
The same options are available for timestamp recursion.
NTFS compression
The NTFS file system supports native compression of files and folders. You can make Magellan Explorer always compress/decompress files contained in folders when you modify the compressed attribute of a folder.
If this option is not checked then Magellan Explorer will prompt you each time the Attribute or Group Attribute tool is used to change the compression attribute.
