custom view settings for different locations?

Is there a feature in XYplorer that let's you set the view settings for a specific location? For instance, I could set "My Pictures" to thumbnails #2, "My Documents" to list, and "My Videos" to large tiles. Right now, whenever I change the view settings in a tab, all open tabs will change to that, and any new location I go to will have that setting. Windows Explorer has this feature and it's very handy, so XYplorer should too. Thanks for your help!

Yes, it's called folder view settings. Find it in Menu > View > folder View Settings. There's also a toolbar button.
paste this into XY adressbar and press ENTER to directly open relevant documentation:

Code: Select all

Thanks for the reply! That's very useful. However, if I change the view in one folder, all other folders will change to that view setting unless their view setting was saved. Is it possible to tell xyplorer to show me the last view of each folder? That way, changing the view will affect only that folder which I am browsing, not everything else with it. This will be handy because it will save me from having to individually save each and every folder,
