4.3 Options

From this menu you can start the preferences dialog. This dialog lets the user determine in which file and file format KFind should store search results. User can also look at avaiable filetypes and archivers details.

Saving

This dialog lets the user specify a file to save the results of a search to. The File format button makes it possible to say whether the results are saved in raw text format or HTML format. The Save Results to file radio buttons determine whether search results are saved to the default file, or a file specified by the user. Pressing button File Format lists the types of file a list of files matching the search parameters can be output to. Currently HTML format and Text (.txt) format are supported

Filetypes

This dialog allows viewing (editing probably in future) of the association between filenames and their types. The left selection box lists all possible file types. Selecting an option from that list places the attributes of the file type in the other boxes.

Archivers

This dialog allows viewing (editing probably in future) of archiver definition used by Add to Archive function.

4.4 Help

From this menu user can show information about KFind and KFind documentation.
