Display settings control how FileLocator Pro displays results.
Display Lines
Max displayed lines per file
|
Limits the number of lines that will be returned per file, to avoid errant searches on very large file consuming too much memory. The default is 10,000 lines.
|
Limit the maximum characters displayed per line
|
When checked, limits the number of characters displayed in the Contents View for each line (the abbreviated line is centered around the found text on the line).
If not checked the full line, as defined in the Character Processing Settings, is displayed.
|
Surrounding lines
Sets the number of surrounding lines stored for each found line. Surrounding lines are shown in the Contents View pane and can be seen by clicking on the '+' expand icon next to the found line.
The settings only effects new searches so old searches will continue to display the surrounding lines previously recorded.
File path display preference
When FileLocator Pro displays file paths there are several display options for when the path doesn't fit in the available space. For example, the sample path:
C:\Program Files\Mythicsoft\FileLocator Pro\FileLocatorPro.exe
if display space was limited should be displayed as:
