Pointix Pathfinder

Pointix Pathfinder is a floating utility that emulates many of the Windows Explorer functions making navigation through files and folders extremely easy and fast.

You can perform all the basic operations found on Windows Explorer, plus some innovative features. Click on the various areas of the following figure to display a specific topic.

Menu Options

Capture Glicks

When this option is set, all glicks done within the application’s window are captured, i.e., the command assigned to that glick is not executed. This is to prevent an accidental glick of fading the application’s window in the middle of an important operation.

Default:	Set

One Click

This option allows opening files and folder with just one click. When this option is set, opening a file is faster but you can not select an item with the left mouse button alone. You can still do it by pressing and holding the Ctrl key while clicking the left button, or using the right mouse button.

Default:	Reset

Show Folders

This options shows/hides folder items from the right-side panel.

Default:	Set

Filter Options

Use these options to show/hide file according to their attributes.

Defaults:

System:	Reset

Hidden:	Reset

Read Only:	Set

Archive:	Set


Drives

Use it to select the current drive.


Memories

Each of these positions can store
a particular path (or location).
Useful when you need to do some operations
that involve several folders or drives.
You can also store frequently used locations,
although Pathfinder’s bookmark feature
is more advisable for this purpose.

To set a new position, just navigate to
 the target path, press “Set” followed
by the desired button.


Zoom

Toggles between “normal view”
(as the one displayed) and “detailed view”
in which all file details are displayed.


Column Count

Use these buttons to adjust the
number of columns you want to see
at the same time on the right-side panel.
Pathfinder will adjust the column width to
accommodate the desired number of columns.


Refresh

Updates the contents of of both panels.
Use it in case an external program
changes the contents of the current location.


New Folder

Creates a new folder at the current location.


Editing

Use these buttons to cut, copy, paste,
select and delete files or folders. The operation
will affect the selected item/s on the
right-side panel if any, or the whole location
if none is selected.


Show Bookmarks

Shows the bookmarks menu.


Current Location / Path Navigator

This window shows the current location’s path.
You can navigate backwards by clicking
on the target subdirectory.


Parent Folder

Goes to the parent folder (if any).


Add/Delete Bookmark

Pathfinder’s bookmarks.


File Filter

Use this window to enter the file-filter mask.
You can use wildcards (e.g., *.exe).


Sub-directories

Displays the sub-directory list at the
current location. The use of the ight-mouse
button is recommended for all operations.


Files and Folders

Displays the files and folders at the
current location. The use of the ight-mouse button
is recommended for all operations.


Sort Options

This area shows the files/directory “large” icon.
It helps to identify the selected item.

The changes are not valid until you press
the “check” button (invisible while not editing).
This avoids renaming a file by accident.

of the selected file or files.
