Configuring Display Settings

The display settings determine the way in which toolbars, icons, and fonts appear in dialog boxes.

To configure CuteFTP display settings

1. On the main menu, click Tools > Global Options (or press ALT+F7).

2. Expand the Display node. The Display options appear.

3. To specify which toolbars to display, in the Select the toolbars to display list, select their check boxes.

4. To add or remove buttons on the toolbar, with a toolbar in the list selected, click Customize selected toolbar. (The Custom Commands and the Quick Connect toolbars cannot be customized.) The Customize Toolbar dialog box appears.

   • To add a button, click it in the Available toolbar button s list, then click Add.

   • To remove a button, click it in the Current toolbar buttons list, then click Remove.

   • To move a button on the toolbar, click Move Up to move a button one icon to the left, click Move Down to move the button one icon to the right on the toolbar.

   • To accept changes, click Close; to cancel changes, click Reset. (Reset only backs up changes made since the dialog box was opened. Changes are applied after you click Close.)

5. To display the large (32x32 pixel) set of main toolbar icons, select the Show large toolbar icons check box. Clear this check box to display the small (16x16 pixel) set of main toolbar icons.

6. To hide the Quick Connect bar upon connection to a site, select the Auto-hide Quick Connect bar check box. Clear this to cause the Quick Connect bar to stay in view upon connection to a site.

7. To display small icons in the menus next to commonly used menu items, select the Display menu icons check box.

8. To display a thin blue line at the top of the pane that has the focus, select the Highlight active pane check box.

9. To display borders between rows and columns in the queue window, and in the Local and Remote panes when in Detail view, select the Show grid lines on all view panes check box. Clear this check box to hide all borders between rows and columns.

10. To specify whether to show files in bytes, KB, MB, GB, in the Display File Sizes in box, click one of the following options:

    • Adaptive - CuteFTP decides when to show files in bytes, KB, MB, or GB.

    • Kilobytes - CuteFTP always displays values in KB.

11. To adjust the font type and size display of all text in the Local Drives tab, Queue pane, and Remote pane, click Local, Remote, Queue Pane Font.

12. To sort file lists by the value of each digit or by whole number values, in the Sorting area, select one of the following options:

    • To sort file lists by the value of each individual digit, select Use standard lexicographic sorting for alphanumeric file names.

    • To sort file lists by whole number value, select Use Smart Sorting for alphanumeric file names.

      Smart Sorting always lists file names with smaller numbers first. For example, A2 comes before A12. David Wincelberg developed Smart Sorting. CuteFTP uses it by default. Standard Lexicographic sorting lists file names using one character at a time reading from left to right. For example, A12 comes before A2. MS Windows uses Standard Lexicographic sorting by default.

    •  

      Smart Sorting	Standard sorting
      FileA1.ext	FileA1.ext
      FileA2.ext	FileA12.ext
      FileA6.ext	FileA2.ext
      FileA9.ext	FileA20.ext
      FileA12.ext	FileA21.ext
      FileA20.ext	FileA6.ext
      FileA21.ext	FileA9.ext
