Windows 10: Folder Views

Is there a way to control whether folders individually or as a whole remember settings like, whether to display as list view or details? Remember column width? The way things display seem random. Generally it will either be list view or details, but sometimes, for example, I will try to "save as" or"import", and the folder that is opened to complete the task will have huge icons.

Folder Options > "View" tab > "Apply to Folders" setting doesn't help.

thanks

Folder and file views

Hi Rene,

We would like to inform you that files and folders can only be sorted out according to the available options (Date, Name, Type, Size, and Tags). Your desired option for your folders is not available. We recommend and encourage that you submit your issue
using the Feedback Hub. You can either vote on an existing submission or submit a new issue. When you submit a feedback item, we gather additional details and information about your issue that will help us determine what’s causing it and address
it. Feedback items regularly receive Microsoft responses on the submissions in the Feedback app so you can see what we are doing about your feedback. Please revisit frequently to see the status of your feedback items.

In order to submit new feedback, please follow these steps:

1. On a Windows 10 device, search for “Feedback Hub” in Cortana search, then launch the app.

2. Navigate to Feedback in the left menu, then press + Add new feedback.

3. Select the Problem, and share any details you think are relevant, and choose an appropriate category and subcategory.

4. Important: If possible, reproduce the problem(s) after clicking
Begin monitoring (or Start capture) near the end of the form;
Stop monitoring when you’re done.

5. Once you’ve completed the form and monitoring, click Submit.

6. Click Continue using Feedback Hub.

7. Click My feedback at the top, then find the item you submitted (it may take a while to appear).

8. Open the item you submitted, then click Share.

9. Click Copy link, then paste the link here in your response (it will look like
https://aka.ms/<uniquelink>).

Don’t hesitate to inform us if you have any other concerns.

 

Folder and file views

Can this be done? I want the contents of all my folders to look like this: detai view, folders at the top alphabetically, files below chronologically newest 1st oldest last. When I search a folder I want the results to appear in detail view.

Thanks all

 

Supposedly this should make it work:

1) Go to: Folder Template - Change in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
2) Scroll a little down to #3, download and run All_Folders_Use_General_Items_Folder_Template.bat
3) Adjust the way you want your folders to show like, then do your step of: Folder Options > "View" tab > "Apply to Folders"

The reason why what you mentioned is happening is because there are different types of files in folders. Windows 10 separates the settings for each file types. The file types are: General Items, Documents, Pictures, Music, & Videos. So each type has its own setting now. For example, if you press Apply to Folders when you have a folder open that Windows classifies as Pictures, then all folders that are classified as Pictures will have that same setting that you just set.
