Configuring directory windows

Example

This example shows a rule that defines a directory with the following characteristics:

single-clicking on the directory window background displays an information dialog box
double-clicking on the directory window background closes the window and opens the parent directory window
dropping one or more icons onto the directory window copies them into the directory
closing the directory window displays a dialog box

The rules defining these characteristics are provided below:

   icon_rules
   {
      TestDir /D
      {
         drop_in_action: deselect
         {
            for_info You have clicked on the TestDir directory background.
         }
         drop_in_action: report
         {
            display_directory $static_arg `(dirname $static_arg)
         }
         drop_in_action: drop
         {
            copy_into $static_arg $dynamic_args
         }
      }
   }

You would also place the following rules in TestDir/.xdtdir/ll_TT (where, by default, ll_TT is en_US):

   final_actions
   {
      for_info Closing the TestDir directory.
   }
