% LS_MOD shows directory listings. It is rather like the dir command in
% Windows or ls command in Unix.
%
% LS_MOD is a GUI-based program which allows you to perform different
% kinds of listings or searches.
%
% Define a path for directory listing (text field below the title Insert
% Path:). You can either manually define a path or just use the browse
% button. Press the execute button to start the listing (or search) and
% when you are done, close the gui by pressing the close button.
%
% In order to add a few rules for listing(or search), inside the preferences
% panel you are able to specify some options (see below).
%
% A List of GUI preferences:
% Show Hidden Files (checkbox, default off)
% List Subdirectories Recursively (checkbox, default off)
% Show Sizes (checkbox, default off)
% Show Last Modified Date (checkbox, default off)
% Search Field (text field, default none):
% Inside the text field (reads Type search text...) you can
% define words or parts of words you would like to be searched.
% When searching a particular file(s), you can define a search
% text in a form of str*, *str and str. Where str is a string
% which will be contained in a file's name.
% It's possible to use the wildcard character "*" at the end of a
% string or at the beginning of a string. If the asterisk operator
% is used at the end of string, a file name is assumed to start
% with a specified string. Consistently, if the asterisk operator
% is used at the beginning of a string, a file name is assumed
% to end with a specified string. On the other hand a mere string
% without the asterisk operator is searched throughout the file
% name. The search is done based on case-insensitivity.
% All the matched files will be highlighted in red.
% You can clear the text field by pressing the right-mouse button
% inside the field if there is a text Type search text...
% Order by name, last modified date or size (popupmenu, default name)
% Define file size for filtering(text field, default none):
% All the files less than a specified size will be filtered.
% You can reverse the filtering direction by changing the .LT. value
% to .GT.(popupmenu). In this case the program will filter all
% the files larger than a specified value.
% Define date for filtering (text field, default none):
% You can either specify the date manually or press the Select a
% single date button which opens the uicalendar tool. In case you
% prefer to give the date directly to the field the format must be
% dd.mm.yyyy. Like in the size filtering mode, you can also reverse
% the filtering direction by changing the .LT. value to .GT.
