       giFTcurs.conf - giFTcurs configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       The  giFTcurs.conf  file  contains  configuration  data  for  giFTcurs.
       Comments begin with #,  whitespace  is  trimmed  and  empty  lines  are
       ignored.   Each  line  should contain a section, a keyword and a value.
       giFTcurs will try to preserve most of  the  formatting  when  it  saves
       changes. The available options are listed below.

       color item value
              This  sets  the  color  item  item  to  the colors in value. All
              possible items can be found and changed in the  settings  screen
              in giFTcurs.

       set max-hits value
              This  sets  the  maximum number of hits. A zero value means that
              there is no limit. The default is not to  limit  the  number  of
              hits.

       set upload-height value
              This   sets  the  height  of  the  upload  box.  This  value  is
              automatically saved if it’s changed in giFTcurs.

       set scrolloff value
              This sets the scroll offset for lists. The default is 0.

       set invert-selection value
              If this value is non-zero then the old  behaviour  of  inverting
              selections instead of using a specific color will be used.

       set filter-hits value
              Setting  this  to  non-zero will make giFTcurs ignore all search
              hits where the availability is set to zero.

       set buttonbar value
              If this value is zero, the button bar will be hidden.

       set autoclear value
              If this value is non-zero, finished transfers  will  be  cleared
              from the screen automatically.

       set confirm-cancel value
              If  this  value  is  non-zero, giFTcurs will require you to hold
              down shift when cancelling downloads. When set greater  than  1,
              it  indicates  the  minimum number of downloaded bytes that will
              require shift.  For example, a value  of  5242880  will  prevent
              accidental cancellations of downloads > 5MB.

       set max-console value
              This  specifies  how  many  lines should be saved in the console
              backlog.

       set wrap-console value
              If this value is non-zero, lines are wrapped in the console.

       set fancy-utf8
              If this value is non-zero, giFTcurs will use rounded corners  if
              the locale uses UTF-8.

       sort hits
              Specify  the  sorting  methods to be used for displaying hits. ;
              separates the methods and , separates fields within  methods.  A
              minus  sign  sorts  in  reversed  order. All fields specified in
              section ATTRIBUTES are supported.

       sort transfers

       sort uploads

       sort downloads
              Specify sorting for transfers. Use the latter to use a different
              sorting for the two types of transfers.

       ignore filename regex-string
              Specifies  that filenames containing the specified string should
              not be displayed among search results. Case is ignored, and  the
              string  can  contain regular expression wildcards, see regex(7).
              This setting  can  be  repeated  for  every  filename  you  want
              filtered.

       ignore user string
              Hits  from  this  user  will  be  ignored. The exact username is
              required, no  wildcards  are  recognised.  You  can  also  press
              shift-i  in  giFTcurs  add  that  user to the ignore list.  This
              setting can be repeated for every user you want filtered.

       format hit format-string
              Sets the default presentation format of search hits. See section
              FORMATS STRINGS for description of formats.

       format audio format-string

       format video format-string

       format image format-string

       format text format-string

       format application format-string
              If  defined,  these  formats  are selected instead of format hit
              when hits have the corresponding mime-type. A hit with mime-type
              audio/x-vorbis will for example use the audio format.

       format browse format-string
              Define  the  format to be used when searching for the files of a
              user.

       format subhit format-string
              This format is shown on each user, when you expand a hit.

       format transfer format-string
              Describes the format used for transfers.

       format source format-string
              Each item in the expanded transfer  is  formatted  according  to
              this.

       format $macroname format-string
              Defines  a  macro which can be referred to in any format string,
              and is expanded there. Recursive macros are not allowed.

FORMAT STRINGS

       A format string is a regular string with commands inserted.  A  command
       is defined between { and }. If you want these characters literally, you
       must escape them with backslash as \{ or  \}.  Also,  you  can  prevent
       extra  spaces  to  be stripped by preceding them with \. If a format is
       malformed, it is silently ignored.  However,  giFTcurs  --verbose  will
       (hopefully) show you an explanation of the error.

       Here follows a list of commands understood. Examples of names are used,
       but they can be replaced by other names as well.   The  notation  [abc]
       means you can put either an a, b or c in this place.

       {%hit-good}
              The  color  theme  hit-good should be used after this point. You
              can reset color with {%standard}

       {%hit-good:B}
              See above but bold colors should be used.

       {space}
              For centering values. When the formatting  is  nearly  complete,
              the remaining space is evenly divided among all the {space}s.

       {progress filesize transferred}

       {progress filesize start transferred}

       {endprogress}
              for  transfers,  these  indicate  where  the progress bar should
              begin and end.  The first  argument  refers  to  how  large  the
              amount  is.  The  middle argument, is specified, tells where the
              bar should start. The last argument tells where the  bar  should
              stop.  Numeric arguments can be used. You can not specify colors
              inside {progress} {endprogress}.

       {fixed:35} {endfixed}
              Formats encapsulated within these tags will be  forced  to  have
              the specified width. These tags can not be nested.

       {author}
              This  command  is  substituted  by  the  contents  of  the value
              referenced  by  this  keyword  on  the  actual  item.   Keywords
              available  depends  on which type of item we are formatting, see
              section KEYWORDS.  If the line becomes too long,  items  without
              flags  are  truncated.  To prevent that, specify an empty format
              tag, like {author:}

       {bitrate:[bkMGT]}
              The keyword is converted to an integer and is printed out with a
              1000-power  prefix appended. Always four chars wide, four spaces
              are written if the actual keyword is not available.

       {filesize:[bkMGT]i}
              The keyword is converted to an integer and is printed out with a
              1024-power prefix appended. Always 4 chars wide.

       {duration:t}
              The  keyword  is taken as seconds and is printed out on the form
              04h06s, always 6 chars wide.

       {net:3}

       {filename:60%}
              The keyword is printed out, truncated or padded to the specified
              number  of characters. A percent-sign after the number specifies
              a width relative to the whole format width.

       {availability:3}

       {availability:-3}
              The integer keyword is printed out, padded up to  the  specified
              number  of  chars.  Negative  means  left adjust. Same as printf
              format %3u and %-3u.

       {if keyword}

       {elif keyword}

       {else} {endif}

       {endif}
              Allows conditional rendering, a keyword is said to  fail  if  is
              unavailable,  the  empty  string  or  the number 0.  Comparisons
              support one single operation: less than, <.  This,  however  can
              be  used  to  specify  an interval, for example {if 4<sources<6}
              will succeed if sources equals 5.   If  statements  can  not  be
              nested, but nesting can be simulated using macros.

       {$stats}
              This  "calls" the macro named $stats which must be defined.  You
              define macros just as other formats, but they must begin with  a
              dollar sign.

ATTRIBUTES

       There  is  four types of items, each with a different set of recognized
       keywords.

       Hits   Strings:  hash,  filename,  net,  path.    Integers:   filesize,
              expanded, sources, availability, downloading.  All meta data can
              also be accessed.

       Subhits
              Strings:  user,   url,   net,   filename,   suffix.    Integers:
              availability.

       Transfers
              Strings:  filename,  expanded,  net,  status Integers: filesize,
              bandwidth, ratio, transferred, searching, active, eta, download,
              upload, disk_free, expanded, sources.

       Sources
              Strings:  user, url, net, status, expanded, filename.  Integers:
              start, transferred, total,  filesize,  active,  paused,  queued,
              download, upload, eta.
