XYplorer Beta Club

The most irritating thing for me in XYplorer is the folder view. I change the view to thumbnails and later in some other folder I see that view, even if I did not save the folder view. For the same folder, I see different views in different tabs and different panes. I am completely confused what view appears when and why. Or did I miss something clearly mentioned in settings? I don't know.

Here is what I want: I want to change the default folder view to something I like. It will have only 3 or 4 columns with width that I like. And in some selected folders I want to have different view settings. For that I will click the F button on toolbar. Consider this: I save the tabset, changed folder view and then clicked the F button. When I revert to the saved tabset, it should show the changed view, not what the tabset saved before. Tabset should not save folder view settings, it's only for tabs that are opened. Folder view settings belong to only folder view. The rule that I want is: everywhere it should show my default custom view, except where I have pressed the F button. It should not matter in which pane, which tab or opened after which folder.

How can I do that? Or is it not possible?

Should be possible for sure. I'm using this feature all the time for many years. I wrote it.

So, can you give me the exact steps that lead to an undesired result?

I keep the desktop folder on the right pan all the time. Normally it has list view, sometimes I use thumbnail view. I did not save the folder view on the desktop folder, but saved a tabset. If another folder on right pane and I want to open desktop on right I use tabset revert. Later, on the left pane I find random folders (that don't have folder view saved) opening with thumbnail view. But not every folders (that don't have folder view saved) opens with thumbnail view.

I have a column_layout.txt file in data folder that I saved myself. Is there a way to change the default folder view to that? I will be happy with that for now. Thanks for the reply.

Now this is too confusing for me.

If you see a clear bug, give me the exact steps to reproduce it. Otherwise, since you are a rookie, I suggest you get used to app in the next 30 days, check out the help, and then we see which questions are left.
