The Tracker Settings

The Tracker is highly customizable, and the changes are done in the Tracker Settings.

Icons

In the Icons Preflet you can set the size of your SVG icons and thumbnails in your active Tracker window.

The Preflet also lets you arrange your icons or thumbnails in a grid and you can choose if you want to have the text information about the file on the right or on the bottom of the files.

IconMode Rows gives you extra information about a volume or a folder. For a volume the second row shows you the space left and for a folder items inside it. The third row

By default, all image files are shown as icons. By activating the Add-On thumbnailer all image files in the current folder will be shown as thumbnails (scaled down versions of the images).

Desktop

First of all, you will have to choose between Show Disks Icon and Show Volumes On Desktop. Show Volumes On Desktop is chosen by default, and will show all volumes direct on the desktop. By enabling Show Shared Volumes On Desktop, you will also be able to access smb mounts directly. Show Disks Icon will keep all mounted volumes in a folder on the desktop.

Time Format

You can set the Tracker to show the time in a 24 Hour or 12 Hour mode. Another option is how the Tracker should show dates. For this, three options are available: Year-Month-Day, Day-Month-Year or Month-Day-Year. The last option in this panel is what kind of Separator you would like to use in the Date Order.

As you can see from the two screenshots, changes in Time Format applies to the Modified attribute. First part of Modified is the Date Order and the second part is the Clock.

SVM

A nice feature in the Tracker when you choose Save or Save As..., it will open the FilePanel and you will see that you have a "xx Itmes" field in the left edge. By typing in for instance "m", it will automatically jump to the alphabethically first folder that starts with an "m". Making it real easy to find the right folder, when you have many of them!
