The Options dialog consists of a tabbed dialog with the following pages:

General:

Screenshot

  • Put in tray when minimized: hides FTPEditor from the taskbar when it is minimized, but puts the FTPEditor icon into the tray icon.
  • Batch download: downloads all selected files to a local folder without displaying the save dialog for every file.
  • Show SiteManager at startup: displays the SiteManager dialog, when FTPEditor is started.
  • HTML link insertion: if enabled, FTPEditor creates a HTML image tag in the active document when an image file is opened or dropped into the editor. Default images types for HTML link insertion are GIF and JPG.
  • Highlight current line in editor: Highlights the current line in editors with a different background color.
  • Allow multiple instances: Removes the limit to have only one FTPEditor main window.
  • Team development*: Locks files being edited by FTPEditor users to protect another user to edit the same files, which could cause data loss. (Only works when all users use FTPEditor)
  • Show hidden files/folder in Explorer*: toggles the display of hidden item in the Explorer
  • Reload changed local files automatically*: reload local files when they are changed outside FTPEditor
  • Binary files: Files with these extensions cannot be edited using FTPEditor (since they are in binary format) and FTPEditor will use binary file transfer to up-/download these files.
    If a file seems to be corrupted after tranfering it, you may have to add its file extension here.
