The Folder View Settings button

Post by Bulbizarre »

After saving the folder view, click the button again prompts for delete. Don't find this so useful, edit or manage would be. Any way to change this? Thanks.

I assume you talk about the "The Folder View to be removed may match other folders as well: ..." prompt? Well, the button is a toggle, so this is the logical way to go.

Create your own custom Folder View Settings button.

If you need help, here are some basic instructions:
1) Right-click the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar.
2) At the bottom of the 'Available buttons' pane are all the 'User buttons'. Add one of them to the 'Current buttons' pane and click OK.
3) The User button should now be on the toolbar. Right-click it and select Edit.
4) Now you can name it, give it an icon (both optional) and add what you want the button to do to the left, right, and middle click fields.
The Help file has a section on Custom Toolbar Buttons with lots of information on how you can customise your button.

Good luck!

Well, I don't see how scripting could help in the OP's case. There's nothing beyond toggling the setting. (But hey, I'm not a professional scripter).

I was thinking something like this:

Code: Select all

if (ctbstate() == 1) {
   ctbstate(0);
   #473; 
 } else {
   ctbstate(1);
   #472;
 }
First click = save folder view.
Second click = edit folder view

Yah, I was mostly confused on how exact code would look. I'll try it. :)
