<p>File manager icons with captions</p>
43
<p>When you use icon view, you can choose to have extra information about
44
files and folders displayed in a caption under each icon. This is useful,
45
for example, if you often need to see who owns a file or when it was last
47
<p>You can zoom in a folder by clicking the <guiseq><gui>View</gui>
48
<gui>Zoom In</gui></guiseq> or press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>+</key></keyseq>.
49
As you zoom in, the file manager will display more and more information in captions.
50
You can choose up to three things to show in captions. The first will be displayed
51
at most zoom levels. The last will only be shown at very large sizes.</p>
52
<note><p>If you have a file manager window open, you may have to reload for icon
53
caption changes to take effect. Click <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Reload</gui></guiseq>
54
or press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>R</key></keyseq>.</p></note>
