Patch by Humdinger:
* Refactored a User Guide style documentation from the previous Welcome documentation. The Welcome documentation links to the User Guide, the biggest difference is that there is now a separate contents page. * Improvements to the text. * Added Tracker-Add-ons page. git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@28211 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

<h2>File Attributes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Attributes are data fields that belong to a file but aren't part of that file, e.g. they are not computed into the file size and can be copied or changed without touching the file itself. The system uses these attributes to store e.g. file size, file type or date of the last modification. This is similar to other operating systems and their filesystems.
|
||||
</p><p>What's different is that you can add any kind of attribute to any file and display it or make it editable in a Tracker window. You just have to define the kind of attribute you want to add to a file type (e.g. string, integer or time) and give it a name and description.
|
||||
</p><p>The file itself doesn't even need any contents at all. Take a look at these People files for example:

</p><p>If you index these attributes, as People, Email or audio files are by default, they are also searchable with Haiku's fast query system.

|
||||
<h3>Attributes in Tracker</h3>
|
||||
<h2><a name="attributes-tracker">Attributes in Tracker</a></h2>
|
||||
<p>Attributes are displayed quite similar to a database or spreadsheet. Using Tracker you can choose which attributes to display (columns) and sort file listings (rows) accordingly.
|
||||
</p><p>To do this, open a Tracker window, click on the <i>Attributes</i> menu, and select the attributes you want to display. Alternatively, simply right-click onto a column heading and mark the items in the context menu. You can rearrange the columns by a simple drag&drop of the column heading. Moving a column out of a window, is a fast way to get rid of columns you don't need.
|
||||
</p><p>Double-click on the line between two attributes in the heading to automatically resize a column to its optimal width.

|

<p>Other than Windows, Haiku doesn't rely on the 3-letter file extension for a file type (e.g. .txt, .jpg, .mp3). This method is only a last resort fallback. Haiku uses <acronym title="Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions">MIME</acronym> types just like it's custom on the internet.</p>
|
||||
<h3><a name="specific-file">Setting the filetype of a specific file</a></h3>
|
||||
<p>You can change the type of a specific file, its icon and the associated application. Select the file and invoke the Add-Ons | Filetype add-on from the right-click context menu.

<h3><a name="filetype">The File Type</a></h3>
|
||||
<p>This is a JPEG file, it's MIME string image/jpeg. Let's say you definitely know that it's not a JPEG but a GIF. You can change that either by entering the correct MIME string by hand or with one of the two buttons below the textbox:
|
||||
<ul><li><i>Select...</i> shows a hierarchical list of filetypes where you navigate to <tt>image | GIF Image</tt>.</li>
|
||||
<li><i>Same as...</i> opens a file dialog where you choose any file that already has the filetype you're looking for.</li></ul>

<h3><a name="preferred-app">The Preferred Application</a></h3>
|
||||
<p>This dropdown menu shows a list of all applications that can handle this particular filetype. From here you can choose which program should open this specific file when it's double-clicked. You could, for example, change a HTML file's preferred application from the browser to a text editor while you're working on it. Every other HTML file still opens in the browser, only this particular one starts in your text editor.</p>
|
||||
<p>The "Default Application" is the one that's set globally for that filetype. If you don't find the program you want to associate with this file in the dropdown menu, you'll again find the buttons Select... and Same As... which do the similar thing described under "The File Type" above. </p>

<h4><a name="icon">The Icon</a></h4>
|
||||
<h3><a name="icon">The Icon</a></h3>
|
||||
<p>If you're wondering why the icon well on the top right is empty: Icons are normally inherited from the system default for that filetype. You can open the <i>Filetype Add-On</i> of a file that contains an icon and drag&drop it into your file's icon well. Or you double-click the icon well and create or edit your own icon in <i>Icon-O-Matic</i>.</p>

|

<h2><a name="filetypes-preferences">Global settings with the Filetypes Preferences</a></h2>
|
||||
<p>The <i>Filetypes</i> preferences don't deal with individual files but with global settings of filetypes. You can change default icons and preferred applications or add, remove, or alter attributes of whole filetypes. You can even create your own filetype from scratch.</p>
|
||||
<p>All filetypes and their configurations are stored in <tt>/boot/home/config/settings/beos_mime</tt>. Before you start experimenting, it may be prudent to make a backup of that folder... </p>

<h3>Switching workspaces</h3>

<h2><a name="switching">Switching workspaces</a></h2>
|
||||
<p>You can switch between workspaces by either clicking into the Workspaces applet or by using the keyboard shortcut <tt>ALT+Fx</tt>, where "x" is the workspace number. Also, clicking on an application or one of its windows in the Deskbar will send you to the workspace it's in.

<h3>Moving windows between workspaces</h3>
|
||||
<h2><a name="moving">Moving windows between workspaces</a></h2>
|
||||
<p>To move a window, you grab it in the Workspaces applet and simply drag it to another workspace. This has the advantage, that you can move it without leaving your current desktop. Of course, that only works well when there aren't too many windows on a workspace and your target isn't obscured by other windows. Another possibility is to grab a window by its tab and just holding on to it while switching workspaces with <tt>ALT+Fx</tt>.
