Nowadays we are presenting a lot to customers online and are sharing our screen several times a day. I am actively browsing and showing files, offers, projects, pdf's, ppt's, calculations, whatever.
Given that Dopus handles the screen real estatie efficiently there is a lot to see on a Dopus screen. And the things that are shown are not only what we are willing to show to others. Names of other clients, as an example.
I usually do not share my folder structure / file explorer screen, but I would like to do. Because sometimes the logical structure of a folders reflect a story that I am telling / a point I want to make.
So... here's my question: a presentation/privacy modus would be highly useful. I mean limiting what is shown, to a specific folder and al its contents.
In doubt there is somewhere an easy workaround, or a more elaborate solution with listers, scripts or other stuff, but do not know were to start. (hide folder tree, hide non used buttons, hide adressbar, etc etc...)
I would probably use a virtual machine (or similar) for that kind of thing, if the presentation was live.
There are just too many ways some detail of the machine you're on could show up unexpectedly when browsing folders, menus, File Open dialogs (which we have no control over), other software (ditto), and so on. Using a (virtual) machine where nothing you want to keep private even exists on the machine solves the problem across the board.
Didn't know of that one. This is brilliant. Intented for taking screenshots no doubt.
At least this works for showing the previewpane without revealing the rest, and helps for preventing errors, or temporary hiding content.
There should be something like Set BLURFILENAMES=toggle -x
with x the number of levels upwards that are not blurred
