Sorting directories.

Yes, this was changed by popular demand.

I must admit that I liked the old way. Would it be possible to have an .ini file option to choose the old way: UseExtensionsInDirs=1/0

ini file option would definitely solve the problem. Thank you for suggesting this.

Edit:
I just read some earlier discussion on sorting directories and now see better where it is coming from. I also noticed that 'UseExtensionsInDirs' flag has been suggested by others so I think this should make everyone happy?

[adysko]

I see my post has been moved here. Should I understand that ini file option for sorting directories will never be implemented?

[ghisler(Author)]

No, it means that the change was on purpose. However, it is planned to add an option for those who preferred the old way.

Great news! Big thank you from me too!

I am yet another of those.

In the meantime I consider going back from 7.01 to v6.5x, as the feature is that important for me.

It surely does help!

This is what I looked for on the whole internet.
Thanks a lot!!!

Hi all,

Kinda in line of the remarks above: I noticed that whenever I sort a certain folder e.g. by date, that this sorting applies to all folders on my computer. I was hoping to find a possibility to sort each folder in its own individual way. (Sorry to bring this up: but Windows Explorer does sort this way...).

Any ideas?

Cheers, Elmer.

Kinda in line of the remarks above:

No, not really.

Explorer remembers (and often forgets) the view and sort order per folder.
TC remembers the view (and sort order) for left and right panel (and for each tab).

Well, as it is all about sorting, my opinion is it is indeed kinda in line with prior remarks, but hey, who am I to decide.

The functionality of TC as you describe it, is known to me. However, I was wondering if the functionality is customizable in the way of Windows Explorer (again, really sorry to even compare the two).

Thanks.

[HolgerK]

Well, as you know the basics about how TC remembers views and sorting order, it's a little bit funny to post a question, request or suggestion in the forum part titled "TC7 Behaviour which will not be changed"

Sort mode based on path

I could refer to the comment above posted earlier in this 'no changes thread' in which is mentioned that a function will be added, but then I would contribute to the fact that this conversation has completely gone into a direction that has nothing to do with the initial intention of my question. So I won't. But thanks for your support.
