Finder Configuration Options

Options allows you to manage the global settings for the extension. The Options settings are inherited by views but the settings in the Menu Item will override the Global setting.

The Options panel is separated into several parts.  When you are finshed making adjustment click the Save button, otherwise click the Cancel button to abandon any changes.  To export the configuration settings to a file (for example, before you upgrade Finder to a new version), click the Export button and save the file in a safe location.
