# [Folder Property] dialog box

This dialog box appears when you select a folder and select [Properties] from the [File] menu.
Use this dialog box to display the properties of folders. Depending on the folder type, you can set the folder to read-only, change the color of the folder or the workspace, and modify its link destination path.

### [Folder]

Indicates the name of a folder. This property is read-only.

### [Path name]

Indicates the path of the selected folder. This property is read-only.

### [Type]

Indicates the type of the selected folder. There are four file types: [System Definition Folder], [User Definition Folder], [Link root folder] and [Link definition folder]. This property is read-only.

### [Read-only]

Specifies whether to make the folder read-only.
This function applies to User Definition Folders and Link definition folders.
If you select this check box, the folder will become read-only. If you clear this check box, the folder can be edited.
If a folder is read-only, you cannot add documents or edit documents in the folder. If you try to delete a document from the folder, you will be prompted with a message.

- Operations as adding documents to the folder
- Operations as editing documents in the folder
- Operations as deleting documents from the folder

Documents in a read-only folder will open in read-only.
If the current folder is read-only, DocuWorks documents created from the scanner or the [Print] dialog box of the application will not be displayed in the workspace. They will appear when the current folder is changed to a folder that is not read-only.

### [Share folder status]

Specify whether to share the alignment, background color, and selection color for the documents within the folder, with other users. This item appears for a link root folder or a link definition folder.
The setting can be changed only when there is no file in the folder.
Note
Do not use a folder that is being used as User Definition Folder by another user, as a link root folder or a link definition folder. Otherwise, the folder status will not be correctly saved and shared.

### [Color]

Specify the color of the folder icon. This function applies to [User Definition Folder], [Link root folder], and [Link definition folder].
