Explorer will mark folders that contain pictures as such (in it's out of the box configuration)

klownboy wrote: ↑06 Jun 2021 17:24 Hi highend, all is well here. After seeing your scripts, I was curious if you could do something using XY's built-in FVS controls though I like your script idea for a view based on content (e.g., images vs folders).

I set a folder view for main "folder" for detail view and "include subs" in the FVS check list,
Make another FVS setting for the subs of "subfolder" (defined as "F:\folder\*\*" in Large Icon view (which will take precedence over the "folder" FVS), I get what I'm thinking respect wants...and it will apply to any names given to the subfolders or any names given to sub-subfolders.

Click on folder in tree -> detail view of "subfolders"
click on subfolder in tree -> detail view of "sub-subfolders"
click on sub-subfolders -> Large Icon view of the images under sub-subfolders

Respect, are you sure you want Large Icon view? That simply shows the same image program's default icon for all images. Wouldn't you want the small thumbnail view to actually show the images in a thumbnail?

Not here. 20H2, with no configuration change at all (fresh install in a VM).
Copying 3 .png files into e.g. "C:\Temp" doesn't create a desktop.ini in it (even after navigating out and in again)

Code: Select all

    $files     = listfolder(<newpath>, , 1, <crlf>);
    $cntFiles  = gettoken($files, "count", <crlf>);
    $images    = quicksearch("{:Image}", $files);
    $cntImages = gettoken($images, "count", <crlf>);
    if ($cntFiles) {
        $percent = $cntImages / $cntFiles;

        if ($percent >= 0.75) {
            if (get("view") != 7) { #309; } // Large icon view
        } else {
            if (get("view") != 0) { #302; } // Details view
        }
    }
    

1. The script searches also in the subfolders, but not only in the actual folder. So also a root is set to "image view" when a subfolder contains images - can this be changed?

2. the view with images is set to "large icons" instead of "large tiles". Is "large tiles view" not the correct variable?

For what does the digits stand for?

quicksearch() supports switches, one of them is not to dive into subfolders. Set it

What variable?

Large tile view command is #314;
But if you use this, check the view mode "digits", because you'd need a different one then.

For what does the digits stand for?

For the current view mode. It doesn't make sense to execute a command id if that view mode is already active.

        if ($percent >= 0.75) {
            if (get("view") != 9) { #314; } // Large tiles view
        } else {
            if (get("view") != 0) { #302; } // Details view
        }

So this part must be
