Determine [in a script] if a folder has a FVS set.

[klownboy]

As the subject states, I'd like to be able to determine in a script if a specified folder has pre-established Folder View Settings (FVS), and if possible, if it includes the sub folders option. FVS.dat is a binary file. I can use SC readfile and I can see that the folders are listed within it. I can't tell from the code if there is a particular piece of information that relays if it includes the subfolders. We also have CID #477 which will list the folders but that would seem to be awkward having to sendkeys to determine if the folder is in the list. In the folder, I get determine the view setting using SC get("view"). Is that all I have for options on this or did I miss something else? Thanks.

Apart from scanning the .dat file I can see no viable options...

I can't tell from the code if there is a particular piece of information that relays if it includes the subfolders

The third byte after the fvs entry ends shows a 01 = subfolder set / 00 = subfolder not set. Probably hard to scan

Another parameter for get(): "fvs" could help (a bit) with the readability of the folders (and its parsing) but that wouldn't help with
the subfolders flag

Thanks highend. Maybe I'll put in a wish for - get("fvs"). We'd specify a folder path, if not use current folder. It would probably just have to return a "1" or "0", but hopefully he could return whether the FV Setting for the folder included subs or not.
