    How to specify folders' viewing preferences in Q-Dir ?


    Hi,

    I'm using Q-Dir 7.35 as an alternative to File Explorer.

    I would like to know how to save viewing preferences for each folder I open with Q-Dir (or with File explorer, for that matter).

    For example, the <Fish> folder would open in Q-Dir (or File Explorer) with Small Icons all listed alphabetically, while the <Olifant> folder would be displayed with Large Icons while organized by file types (jpg, pdf, text files, etc.)

    I hope I'm making sense *Huh.

    :)

    "uhm that method does not work. i want to set folder view as List as default instead Details for all folders"
    Did you download and run Brink's .bat file in Step 1 ? Lacking that, look at the screens in post 3. In Step 5 'folders of this type' defaults to each of the Windows templates for Pictures, Music, etc. If you want ALL folders to have the same List view, r-click any folder in each of the 5 folders under This PC (Desktop does not apply) and hit 'Customize this folder'. Set to 'Optimize this folder for General Items". Then follow the screen in post 3 using List instead of Details in Step 1 and you should be good to go.

    How to specify folders' viewing preferences in Q-Dir ?

    Folder view issue


    I want my folders (and subfolders) to stay in List view but they keep changing to Details view.

    I have tried View>Options>Apply to Folders many times but it doesn't stick.

    Any suggestions?
