Icon captions
File manager icons with captions
When you use icon view, you can choose to have extra information about
files and folders displayed in a caption under each icon. This is useful,
for example, if you often need to see who owns a file or when it was last
modified.
You can zoom in a folder by clicking the view options button in the
toolbar and choosing a zoom level with the slider. As you zoom in, the
file manager will display more and more information in captions. You can
choose up to three things to show in captions. The first will be displayed at
most zoom levels. The last will only be shown at very large sizes.
The information you can show in icon captions is the same as the
columns you can use in list view. See
for more information.
