Settings
On this page you will find an overview of all options from the settings dialog of the TextEncoder with an explanation of the respective function. You reach the dialog described here via the "Settings" menu. An explanation of the functions of other program parts of the TextEncoder can be found in the function overview.
- General > File List > Configure Columns: With this function you can specify which columns should be displayed in the file list in the main window and thus determine which information is listed about the loaded text files. Enable a checkbox to display the corresponding column or remove the check mark in front of an entry to hide the respective column. Available are columns from the domains file properties (name, format, size, type, old path, new path, folder), information about the text file (line break type, encoding type, byte order mark, number of characters, number of words, number of lines, first characters of the file), checksums (MD5, CRC32, CRC32B), file dates (created, changed, last access), file attributes (writing-protected, hidden) as well as the file number in the list and the status of the file. You can change the order of the columns with your mouse. The default configuration can be restored using the "Reset" button. Alternatively, you can also call up this function by right-clicking on the file list.
