Folders are identified by their full name, or by a wild-carded pattern. Here you can basically modify two things: which folder(s) are associated with the given Folder View, and which of the saved settings are restored.įolder to apply the settings to. You can customize the active Folder View using the Edit Folder View dialog (menu View | Folder View Settings | Edit.). The same is true on application startup: The last state will be exactly restored regardless of any active Folder View. This way it is ensured that you always find a tab in the state you left it.
When going to a folder via tab switch, the tab's memory is valued higher than any associated Folder View. Note that XYplorer's multi-tabs also store view settings, of course. If FVS is enabled and you go to a folder for which you have previously saved the view settings, then those settings are restored.
You will see later that you can further configure which of these settings are actually restored on a per-folder basis. Optionally a Visual Filter can be saved that will be applied to the folder. List style (line numbers, auto-size, grid.) (see menu Tools | Customize List)
The following view settings are saved by default with each folder view: If there is a Folder View assigned to the current folder, the button is in pressed state. The toolbar button also shows you the state of affairs. And if you ever want to get back to default settings, simply press the button again. Or even simpler: Use the toolbar button for Folder View Settings (shaped like letter F). The usage could not be easier: You like the settings of the current folder and want to preserve them? Use the command Save Folder View in menu View | Folder View Settings. They are stored in a data file named fvs.dat which is located in your application data path. Of course, the settings are retained between sessions. column widths, sort order, or thumbnails view are remembered and automagically adjusted for you. You know this feature from Windows Explorer: You can save the view settings (view type, sort order, column layout.) of any particular folder and have them automatically restored whenever you come back to this folder. It should really be called "Save and Automatically Restore Folder-Specific View Settings" but that wouldn't look good in a menu. Folder View Settings (FVS) is the commonly used label for a feature that allows you to associate certain folders with certain view settings.
