Folder specific settings?

Post by Allan »

I'm currently using the free version (5.55) and considering the full version. Is it possible to have the program (either version or both) remember folder specific settings? For example, I want most folders sorted alphabetically when they are opened, but there are a couple I prefer sorted by date. Can this be done?

Thanks.

Hi! Folder specific settings are actually planned for one of the next versions.

And thanks for calling them "Folder specific settings"! There has been a dispute here about the best name for it, and I think now it's finally settled. :)

On that note, kind of, or just as a tip in case someone missed it : I was never realy into this feature, but since it was talked about I did thought about it, and after a while I thought I could end up using it, since there's a coupleof locations i want a different sort order than elsewhere.

But now, and I know this isn't the same (at all), I don't need it no more thanks to Scripting :)

Given how most of the time I go there using Catalog, I've replaced my basic locations with scripts and I can not only change the sort order, but also other settings like Hide Folders or Suspend Auto-Refresh ! Very cool if you ask me.

Sure, it's not FSS and doesn't work using List/Tree to get there, but since I mostly use Catalog anyways it's even better for me :D
