I tried everything to make Sort Folders Apart work for Folder View Settings but somehow it doesn't work.
Can someone help me, please?

HI,
Sort Folders Apart is not part of FVS. What you try is not possible.

Oh, I see. It's a pity.
Maybe FVS could be expanded in the future to include these settings (if it is technically possible).
Thank you for your time and this great product!

Seeing this post i want to share this

not knowing how it will be received:
I think it would be extremely useful to have users have their own way of showing folders. Since we al have different tasks and different ways of seeing folders. And obviously adding every little setting to the FVS interface is not practical, so how about providing a field in the FVS interface to enter a script?
For example to achieve Geraldine's request, one can simple add "settingp SortFoldersApart, 1" in the field.
And everytime Geraldine opens that folder apart from other settings the script also kicks in.
This way users (including me) wont ask you to add more settings to FVS.

Interesting idea, but not very user-friendly. I want to keep scripting out of the basic functionality.

i guess as soon as "Custom Event Actions" will be implemented it's easy to do such things in an event like "OnFolderChange"

Yep, i remember that was discussed somewhere. CEA sounds like an intelligent feature.
