Always open directory in thumbnail view

Post by *tcebob »

I use Full view by default but would like to open my Pictures directory in thumbnail view, via an icon on the button bar. Is it possible?

You can create a button that will do both actions (switch view mode and directory), or you can play with new TC 9 auto switch feature and assign a thumb mode with your pictures directory...

Tried Auto Switch. Entered ?c:\all\bobs\pictures\cute\ for directory with at least one file type and *.jpg for the file type, and selected Picture for the mode. This worked when entering the directory but did not revert to full when I left it. Should I add another rule covering all other directory types?

Try to set default view in <standard> mode... As I see, it should work when you enter a directory that doesn't match any rule. Or try to add a rule that matches any directory and set default mode for it.

OK! I set my custom view as default and everything appears right.
Thanks for your advice.
