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

Icon

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.
