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.
