Comments are normally entered by clicking on Comment. This ensures they are then stored in VFS files.

But sometimes this method is not enough: you can't, for example, right-click on files inside real folders. You may also want to keep your comments in external files for other reasons. In these cases you can create special files to contain the comments. These files are not listed, but are used by HFS as comments (for related files/folders/elements).

There are two kinds of comment files:

Single-comment files

For every file listed, HFS checks for the existence of a single-comment file. This is a per-file method. If you want to use this method on three files, you need to create three single-comment files.

Let's say you have to comment the file 'test.zip. To do this:

  • Create a new text file.
  • Put the comment in it.
  • Save the file as test.zip.comment.

The single-comment file must reside in the same folder as the commented file.

Notice
Single comment files can be disabled with the option Menu
