The Directory Menu panel plugin allows you to set and view a directory from your panel. This is useful if you would like to quickly access a specific directory and view its contents without starting a file manager.

The following options allow you to choose how the Directory Menu plugin displays a directory.

? Base Directory ! Sets the directory folder that the Directory Menu plugin will start from. ? Icon ! Sets the icon that will be displayed in the panel.

The following options allow you to filter which files the Directory Menu plugin displays.

? File Pattern ! Enter a list of patterns to determine which files are visible in a directory. If you specify more than one pattern here, the list items must be separated with semicolons (e.g. *.txt;*.doc). ? Show Hidden Files ! Displays hidden files when browsing directories.

You can set a custom icon size in gtk-icon-sizes with the name panel-directory-menu. The default icon size is 16px. Special widget name in this plugin is directorymenu-button.
