XYplorer Beta Club

I have been doing a lot of searching and reading but still couldn't solve this issue, so here i am posting a new topic.

I thought i had found the way to do it by holding shift when unticking 'hide extensions' in "Tools|Customize List" but that did not work and whenever i open a new folder the file name extensions are hidden unless i had previously done "Save Current Folder View" for a specific location.

I need the extensions to be shown by default in list view everywhere and only hide them in one specific folder where i use icons thumbnails view.

How do i get this done please?

Configure it to show file extensions, save it as the default folder view.

Configure your special folder(s) to hide them, save them as (normal) folder views...

Okaay, looks like i am officially dumb cause this solution seem so obvious that i am scratching my head now. How did i not figure this out by myself is perplexing to say the least!
Anyways... thx a lot, apparently this has solved my issue and all files in all folders are now showing extensions, however it did not work for the root folder of drives. If i open D: drive for example, the extensions are still hidden. Of course i can easily save folder view for each drive but out of curiosity i would like to ask if there is another way to show extensions for all root folders of all drives at once, too?

And there is no folder view saved for D:\ that overrides the default one?

nailed it. had to remove already saved folder view. solved, thx once more.

EDIT: well, in fact after setting my preferred folder view [show extensions in list view] and applying it to all folders in "View|Folder View Settings|Define this Folder View as Default" it seemed to behave as i wanted, but after closing XYplorer with "Exit(Saving)" and opening it again, the default view was no longer what i had set but instead the thumbnail view i had chosen for that specific icons folder. I tried doing the same thing a few times but no luck and each time i would close and reopen XY the same thumbnails view was there taunting me.
I also tried clicking on "Files|Save Settings" but that did not help which was puzzling me.
I was starting to get fumes out of my ears when suddenly i saw the light and checked "Automatically Apply Default View".
Now all is as i wanted it to be and remains the same after closing and reopening XY.
