A custom/specific folder option #182

Common request, but not practical. WinSetView sets the defaults for folder TYPES, not specific folders. There's also no API for setting a view for a specific folder. In another program I wrote (FolderViewPainter) it sets the view for the current folder, but that's done by importing a previously exported view and requires that the PIDL indexed entry for that folder has been created by Explorer (which happens when you open a folder). To create that entry independent of Explorer may be possible with enough reverse engineering, but I've tried and couldn't get it right (and that's with Copilot help in Visual Studio). It's something I may look at again in the future. Maybe. It was several days of spinning my wheels last time I tried. 😉 |

Thank you. I really appreciate your prompt answer and genuine effort to do this. As I said, I suspected things may be more complicated than I can see on the surface (and, as usual, the devil is in the details). |

Hi,
I don't know how simple or complicated this implementation may be, but it would be great to have the option to configure the folder options for a particular (custom or specific) folder. Let's say you have folder xyz and you would like to configure its view option different than the "General Items". It would be great to be able to have this possibility. Again, I don't know how complicated this may be, or how other implications it may have, but I see it as a great addition.
Thank you.
