Solaris Common Desktop Environment: User's Guide

To Change How Objects Are Represented

  1. Choose Set View Options from the View menu.

  2. Select the representation you prefer from the Representation box.

    • By Name Only: Icons will not be displayed in File Manager. File Manager indicates objects that are folders by adding a slash (/) after their names. Executable programs have an asterisk (*) after their name.

    • By Large Icons: This is the default. The objects in File Manager will appear with their name and large icon.

    • By Small Icons: The objects in File Manager will appear with their name and small icon.

    • By Name, date, size, ...: The objects in File Manager will appear with their file date, size, and so on in addition to the file name and icon.

  3. Click OK or Apply.
