Large Icon Default

Post by goodBud »

Hi,

Why aren't we able to set 'Large icon' as a default type. The only way I have been able to do this is to use portable settings to .xml, change the global view parameter to 8, and then set the file to read only. If I don't set the file to read only, the setting gets reverted to 1 (medium icons) every time i close Explorer++. Needless to say, I don't like having to have the settings xml file in read only because it disables saving other features (window position/size, etc.). Could you please make this small fix?

Also, My windows 7 displays an Icon size that is in between your 'Large' and 'Extra Large'...I would prefer this size, but it is not available so I have settled on Large.

I want to display the large size icon at default, too.

If you set the default manually in the config.xml file, the change will stick, provided you don't open the options dialog. I realize that's not the greatest workaround ;)

Fortunately, I've just updated the dialog so that the view modes are shown in a dropdown list. You'll then be able to select large icons, small icons, thumbnails, etc.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Could you give a longer explanation?

I'd like to see the feature of seeing only the current view's icon size added as well. To clarify: In Windows 7 crapware Explorer you have the (surprisingly) useful option of setting the global view to whatever size icon you wish. (It's full of bugs though, as we all know, and why I decided to switch to Explorer++). Once you close the program the user-selected default view returns, thereby preventing an addition step of once again selecting your desired icon size before continuing with your task.
