# xsmbrowser-config(5)

xSMBrowser global configuration file

## NAME

xsmbrowser-config - xSMBrowser global configuration file

## SYNOPSIS

/etc/xsmbrowser/xsmbrowser-config

## DESCRIPTION

**xSMBrowser** is a tool for navigating  **SMB** Networks (Samba, SMB, CIFS). xSMBrowser configuration file contains information that is read by  **xSMBrowser** at startup and overrides any user-specific configuration option. The file is designed to be human readable and contains a list of keywords with values.

You should note that, as the global parameters override user-specific choices, this file should be edited with care.

The different configuration options are:

- **Timeout**

  Time to wait before the query fails If no **Timeout** entry is present, a default value of 90 is assumed.

- **Object Spacing**

  The space left between two icons

- **Image Path**

  The path where xSMBrowser should search its pixmaps. If omitted, the default value */usr/share/pixmaps/xsmbrowser* is assumed.

- **Button Pixmaps**

  A boolean value telling xSMBrowser to draw pixmaps on its button or not. Default is set to **yes**.

- **Show License**

  If set to **show**, xSMBrowser will pop-up a window containing the full GPL text at startup. Most people will let it default to **full**.

- **Smbmount**

  Indicates whether xSMBrowser should display the mount window (and thus use **smbmount**). This directive takes two parameters ;  If you want to use smbmount, you must set the first to **yes**. else,  set it to **no**. The second parameters depends on your version of smbmount. Debian comes with a default */etc/xsmbrowse/xsmbrowse-config* that describe this option in details. Most of Debian user will set this parameter to **0**, or **5** if xSMBrwoser is set to use **smbmount**.

- **Execute**

  Indicate the command that should be executed when a share is mounted.  The special keyword *$MOUNPOINT* describes the mountpoint location.

- **Mount Tree**

  This value allow to set a root directory in which all share mountpoints will  be located.
