Help & Support

Hi

can some give me the code to make a button that toggles( hide/show) the file extension in lister :wink:

thanks in advance

This will toggle a column that shows file extensions:

Set COLUMNSTOGGLE=ext(1)

If you want to toggle whether or not the Name column shows extensions then I think that's more difficult. You may have to build two Folder Formats, one with extensions enabled and the other with them disabled, and then create a button which lets you select one format or the other. Using the column, as above, is definitely easier.

You could also create two new STYLES (settings - preferences - listers - styles):

Create a style with the name Extensions OFF
Click New style icon and enter the name - select left file display (and/or right file display) tab - check Format - Click Edit - click display tab - check view- check Hide file extension

Create a style with the name Extensions ON
Click New style icon and enter the name - select left file display (and/or right file display) tab - check Format - Click Edit - click display tab - check view - UNcheck Hide file extension

Create a left/right click button to load the 2 new styles:

Button left click code Prefs STYLE="Extensions OFF"
Button right click code Prefs STYLE="Extensions ON"

I tried this for you and it seems to work.
