IF < folder contains only xyz-file-types> use X-view, ELSE use default view

Post by gggmmm2 »

Hi
I work a lot with images, but have list view as default for my system. So I change my image folders to thumbnail view and save FVS individually. Works, but a bit tiresome.

What about a feature, that goes something like this:
IF folder contains only these file types (user can define somewhere), use this folder view (user can define somwhere); ELSE use default view.

In my case that would be: IF folder contains only .jpg, .tif, .png, use thumbnail 3; ELSE use default view

But I am sure other users have other use cases, so it would be cool to have a place somwhere to define one or more of these conditions.

Thanks

I don't see this coming.

But note that you can also use FVS for a name pattern. So if your image folders are named a certain way, e.g. "Images_2023", "Images_2022", etc., you could define an FVS for *\Images_????\. (Air-code, not tested.)

Also, if you really want this feature, just know that it is already possible via scripting, so if you want to learn XY scripting it might be a good starter script to write. You would need to enter the script here:
