Remembering folder view - yorkman - 07-30-2008
It doesn't appear that you can configure it so that, for example, my C:\ drive has the Size view while some subdirs have the Full view and others as Brief. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If I'm correct, it'd be nice if this feature be added in the next release. It's very useful to always know the size of certain dirs/folders while Full Detailed view of others (without switching back and forth between views).

TC neither use explorer controls for showing directories content nor parse specific folder.ini files. So it is not possible to use system's behaviour or emulate that. This feature has already been requested few times without final"Yes" or "No" answers from author. Maybe it will be available someday... who knows?
The only way to achieve similar behaviour is to use external tools/scripts for that:

Ultima can't add this feature because this is TC's issue. Only author (Christian Ghisler) can do it but it has already been requested (as I've said above). Currently we can only waiting.
Personally: I've always thought about this "feature" as the most annoying one:
- different views are too much mess for quick browsing,
- if you sett one view for all dirs, it is not always working correctly.

That's too bad. And although I'm not surprised that many others have requested this feature, I am surprised that the author doesn't care to implement it.
Annoying or not. All I'm asking for is to have the option to have that feature. Then each one of us can control whether we want to turn on this feature or not. You wouldn't turn it on. But I, and many others would. It's a win win situation, if the author wants to make us happy.
Thanks for your info and input.

I am always voting for "optional" features but you should know that only one person is developing TC. Because of the lack of the time, compromises have to be made. It is not the matter of "doesn't care". Prioritising goals is the most important thing and IIRC Christian mentioned once that his "to do list" contains more than thousand items. Even now TC has about 700 options and I am not counting plugins and FTP entries.
I am sometimes upset that some of my ideas are left not commented too but we are all people and some things simply cannot be done, no matter how strong you want to.
