Workbench icon placement

coze · 11 June 2006, 09:45

Hello,
I have some files hidden on my wb unless I choose show all files. How can I make these files visible ? I guess it's cause probably they don't have icons. (.info files ?) Also they're spread all around the place and I would like to change their position inside the drawer permanently. How can I do that ?

You're right about the .info stuff.
What Workbench version are you using?

coze · 11 June 2006, 10:27

2.1 and 1.3.

@coze

The thing about showing all files is only possible in Workbench 2.x and upwards.

On the Workbench 1.3.3 you need to select the icon, and choose snapshot (IIRC) from the pull down menu.

On the Workbench 2.1 you just find a icon you like, and rename it to the drawer or file you want to use it with, but with the extension .info attached. Arrange the icons like you want them to be arranged, and again choose to snapshot the icons from the pull down menu.
