Options for External Quick Finder

This window is displayed when you press the Options button on the Finder page of the Options window. You can use this window to specify the application that should be launched by AB Commander when you choose the command to search for files with the external Quick Finder. This window contains the following areas:

Path to External Quick Finder

The path to the application you want AB Commander to run whenever you use the external Quick Finder. If you want to use the built-in Windows Search for this task, leave this area empty.

Command line arguments

The command line to be passed to the external quick finder. The following character combination, %1, may be used in this field to denote the full path of the active folder of AB Commander. If you want to use the built-in Windows Search for this task, leave this area empty.

Use short (8.3) path

If checked, this option causes AB Commander to substitute the short DOS alias for the full path of the active folder, in place of the %1 specification in the command line. This option is useful if the external Quick Finder application you use does not support long file names. If this option is not checked, the regular long path is used.

Open maximized

If checked, this option causes AB Commander to open the external Quick Finder application in a maximized window.

Restore defaults

If checked, this option causes AB Commander to restore the options displayed on this window to their default values, as they were when you first installed AB Commander.
