How do I make my view be 'details' by default?

Post by omar »

Everytime I open a new tab or session, I want the default view to be 'details'

There's nothing in settings
In the 'View' menu, there is an option to save current column layout
This has no effect

ALSO: is there anyway to get keyboard shortcuts that we have in Explorer?
Some are there and some aren't

Thanks

For me this was under Tools / Options / Default Settings. Select the Details radio button.

@Will_Rubin - awesome! never seen that before.
my script is really useful anyway though, as 20% of the time i need to switch to thumbnail view
+ i also need to see by date modified - which isn't always correct

Unfortunately, this basic feature has been removed from Explorer++ 1.4.
The section Tools | Options | Default Settings is no longer there! This alone will make me drop Explorer++ and look for alternatives, as it is just too annoying having to change the view each time I navigate to a folder.

Just a note that the default settings tab definitely hasn't been removed.

There is no setting for "Default View" in Explorer++ version 1.4
