Stop folder views applying globally

Post by BluesFanUK »

New user here, just tried OneCommander and FilePilot, so far XyPlorer seems much more user friendly. The one thing bugging me is everytime I set a folder view, it changes everything globally.

I have gone to View > Folder View Settings > Enable Folder View Settings.

I have also unchecked Tools > Configuration > Styles > Apply List styles globally

Unless I always navigate to View > Folder View Settings > Save, XYFC just refuses to automatically remember each folder's setting.

I hope this isn't by design, it's a major deal breaker for me. Please advise.

Hi! You want to automatically remember folder views by folder? That's not supported (it would create an ever-growing and ever-slowing database). You can, however, actively attach a folder view to a specific folder using View | Folder View Settings | Save Folder View (there is also a toolbar button for this).
