I'd believe that, but that just means it has never worked exactly as I'd expect.admin wrote:Check the old versions. AFAIK it has never been different fora long time.

Echo "What's the sort?<crlf>As BV and ListFind share settings this should have the order set in Search Results which was Name,a;Size,d";I can confirm all this!What the script is attempting to demonstrate is that:
1) If the active tab is not a search results tab > entering branch view will use some default sort order.
2) Changing the sort order in branch view, exiting branch view, and then returning to branch view will return to the default sort order.
3) If the active tab is a search results tab > entering branch view will adopt the sort order of the search results tab.
This is not entirely demonstrated in the script, but it is true.
4) Customizing the sort order in a search results tab, returning to browse mode, performing step 1 or 2, and then performing a search will result in the search results tab forgetting the user's defined sort order and instead using the default as set by BV.
Since BV and Find view are both searches, shouldn't there be a third option "apply the Find view"?Branch View does either of two things, depending on the setting of "Default to tree-like sort order" (Find Files & Branch View - Branch View):
a) default to Path ascending (good for tree-like sort).
b) keep the current sort order (good for toggling between normal mode and BV).
). When I switch to Find View or BV I give more importance to the paths (it gives the tree structure), but I still want some sorting within each folder, that's why I go Path,a;Ext,a. If ( ) multiple sort orders were available (ternary, quaternary,...) it would be damn cool, because the sorting of the Browse view could be entirely replicated adding the tree dimension too.Yes, I saw that too. Not sure whether I'd call it a bug or interesting behavior, but currently I only want to restore the way it worked pre-ET. Later we can talk about redesigning BV.Marco wrote:If you customize the columns in BV and then click "Define current column layout as default" the subsequent message says that the layout has been saved for the Find view. So BV and Find share the same column layout, and as such modifying the layout in BV should make it available in Find view afterwards, and viceversa. As of now, instead, there's some sort of race condition where BV calls an internal default and then overwrites the customization. And I'd call it a bug.
Which I think you achieved by making BV use Path,a again.admin wrote:currently I only want to restore the way it worked pre-ET.
