List - Pathname

The full pathname of the file. In disk archives that don't support folders (DOS 3.2/3.3, Pascal, CP/M, RDOS), this is just the filename. For ProDOS disks and ShrinkIt archives, the pathname includes all folders out to the "root" of the collection.

The names are usually presented exactly as they appear in the original, but there are a few exceptions:

- ProDOS names are converted to lower case based on the case flags. These were added in ProDOS 8 v1.8 to allow the GS/OS FST to put lower case and spaces in names.
- AppleWorks filenames stored on a ProDOS disk are converted to lower case based on the aux type. This value overrides the ProDOS flags. (AppleWorks files stored in ShrinkIt archives are simply presented as they were stored.)
- The names of files on DOS 3.3 volumes are "sanitized", so that inverse and flashing characters are converted to normal text.
- If the appropriate preference is enabled, filenames stored on DOS 3.3 volumes are converted to mixed case based on common rules for English titles. Filenames with lower case in them already -- uncommon but not unheard-of -- are left alone.
- If the appropriate preference is enabled, all filenames have spaces converted to underscores. This could be useful for files destined to be served directly from a web site.

The ProDOS volume name is not shown as part of the pathname, except in the entry for the volume directory itself (identifiable as a pathname starting with ':').

There may be one of four icons to the left of the filename. A document icon that is "empty" (has a white interior) indicates a ShrinkIt archive entry with an empty comment. Most archives created by GS/ShrinkIt have an empty comment added to the first entry, so this is fairly common. If the document icon is solid yellow, that means there is a comment with information in it. This can be viewed with the file viewer or by using the "edit comment" feature. A red 'X' icon indicates a damaged entry, usually on a disk image. CiderPress was unable to fully process the file, so it has been marked as unavailable. A blue '?' icon indicates a suspicious entry; it's not unreadable, but it doesn't look healthy.

Files in a sub-volume, such as a DOS 3.3 disk embedded in a ProDOS disk, are shown as being in a folder (something like "_DOS001"). This is done so that the files will be extracted into a separate folder from the outer-volume content, and also to keep the files grouped together when the file list is sorted by name.
