preferences:preferences_categories:folders:network_servers

This page affects the servers that appear in the Network branch of the folder tree.

  • You can enable a server cache, which makes getting a list of servers quicker once it's been done once.
  • You can specify servers which should always appear even if Windows fails to find them.
  • You can specify servers which should never appear, and also disable the server list altogether in the tree if desired.

The options on this page are:

  • Populate the Network folder with computers found on your network: Turn this on to enable the enumeration of network servers in the tree.
  • Cache computer list across restarts: The server list will be cached and saved to disk, to be reloaded next session.
  • Cache computer list until shutdown: The server list will be cached in memory but not saved to disk.
  • Do not cache computer list: The server list won't be cached at all; Opus will always ask Windows to enumerate the servers.
  • Exclude these computers: You can add server names to this field to exclude them from the tree.
  • Always add these computers: You can add server names to this field to have them always added to the tree.
