Files/Show archives first
Display archives in the file list before all other files regardless the current sort mode.
Files/Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color
If enabled, WinRAR will display files with NTFS "Compressed" and "Encrypted" attributes using the same colors as Explorer. By default these are blue color for "Compressed" and green for "Encrypted" attribute.
Files/Merge volumes contents
If this option is enabled and you open the first volume, WinRAR also tries to read and display contents of all next volumes available in the same folder as the first volume. So instead of looking at files contained only in the first volume, you will see files contained in the first and all following volumes.
Files/Show seconds
Display seconds in file dates in the file list. Without this option WinRAR displays dates in file list with 1 minute precision.
Files/Exact sizes
If this option is on, file sizes are always displayed in bytes. If it is off, sizes are rounded up and use units such as KB or MB. Smaller files can be still displayed in bytes. This option can affect also other parts of WinRAR interface, for example, total and selected sizes in status bar.
Files/Columns�
Select columns to display in file and archive management modes.
Files/Set font�
Select font for the file list and folder tree panel.
