Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

To Use File Manager as an Icon Browser

  1. Copy the file /usr/dt/examples/language/IconBrowse.dt to the HomeDirectory/.dt/types/Iconbrowse.dt directory.

  2. Open Application Manager and double-click Reload Actions in the Desktop_Tools application group.

    When you change to a directory that contains icons (.bm and .pm files), each icon is displayed next to its name. For example, if you change to the /usr/dt/appconfig/icons/language directory, you will see many of the desktop icons.


    Note –

    Enabling icon browsing on low-memory systems may cause File Manager to display directories more slowly. Images larger than 256 x 256 are not displayed in the default configuration.


    To disable icon browsing:

  1. Remove your personal copy of the IconBrowse.dt file.

  2. Open Application Manager and double-click Reload Actions in the Desktop_Tools application group.
