Much like it is possible to apply colors to catalog items, have a dropdown of saved views so a specific view could be associated with the folder in the catalog.
Surrender, I also would use folder specific settings but I kind of like Allen's idea...as I read it, a variation of Template so one could pick from, maybe, a handful of choices instead of unique ones for each folder..then all that would be needed would be a link/pointer from the folder name to the view layout...and yes, if this was available only for catalog or favorites, that would suffice for now...
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Oh!! I missed that post. But sounds like an excellent idea to me. I mean, as of now there are 5 views (excluding thumbs 2 and 3) and 8 sort styles possible, which makes 40 unique folder settings. I dont know if that number is small or big, but if i were to make template setting for my favorite folders would hardly be more than 5. So, i am game for anything here.

Hi there,

i stumbled across XYplorer a while ago and i was pretty impressed. And finally i got around to buy it (on the last day of the recent special offer for 22,50 EUR :) ).

Since i got used to folder specific settings, let me allow to resurrect this thread. I have some folders where i need a special sort order and/or a different tab order.
As far as i can see it's not possible yet to accomplish such a thing with only one tab. For each of my special folders i would need to open a tab.

I read about some kind of workaround with the catalogue too, so i'll play around with it a little bit to check out how it works.

But just to be up to date: Will there be folder specific settings as described by allen and j_c_hallgren in the (near) future?

Thanks,
Pagat

No, but in the far future.
