Re: "Select an App to Open this File" when viewing Pictures

I am using the standard version, not the portable version: FreeCommander XE 2023 Build 880 32-bit public Yes, I get the same dialog even after clicking the Always button. OK, I am trying to set up default programs inside FC. This is what I have so far, but I don't know where to insert the various im...

"Select an App to Open this File" when viewing Pictures

When I click on an image (JPG or PNG) to view it inside FC, I get this message all the time: https://imgur.com/a/upzIMcC

Is there some option I can click on, to eliminate having to click through this?

I am on Windows 11, FWIW.

Re: Two FC Questions

That's fine. I was just instinctively looking for a view mode called "Icons," because with a thumbnail view, I assumed that each doc (each PDF or DOCX) would have a thumbnail of its first page or whatever, created. I thought that would consume unnecessary system resources, but I see now th...

Re: Two FC Questions

Here is a screenshot of what I'm trying to re-create in FC: https://imgur.com/a/nyEYIJb Every PDF has one type of icon, and every Word doc has another type of icon. The List & Detail views in FC aren't similar to what I have in the screenshot, taken with Windows Explorer. Probably you didn't cli...

Re: Two FC Questions

OK, now I still would like an Icon view as my default. I see how to have FC show a list view, or thumbnails. But how do I get icons (different for each file type)?

Dreamer, in your first reply you gave me a link. I didn't see in that page, how to set up an Icon view in my folders.

Re: Two FC Questions

You pointed me in the right direction. I thought I had checked this before, but I looked at the Syllbus settings and found that it was still not set to sort by date, but by name. I set the settings at the bottom, to sort by date, and all is well. Man I'm sure I looked at that before, but I guess not...

Re: Two FC Questions

I posted a screenshot, both of the Settings dialog and of the FC window. I removed the Images item, and nothing changed. As you can see from the folder view, the files are not arranged according to date modified. Here is the link: https://imgur.com/a/psKXnm2 Sorry about the delayed reply, been busy ...

Re: Two FC Questions

Yeah, I pasted your code in, and still nothing. Interesting, perhaps a bug as you said? I dunno. Thanks anyways for this.

Try this Condition, exactly the same:

Re: Two FC Questions

No, the icons was a different issue. When I say "arrange according to date," what I mean is that I want the files in a particular folder to be sorted by date, not by name. The normal display/sort for folders is by name, and in most cases I'm fine with that. But this one folder, I prefer fi...

Re: Two FC Questions

Hmmm here is what I have. https://imgur.com/a/psKXnm2 What I want is icons but quite a bit larger. I didn't see an Icons option in the View Type drop down list at the bottom. Also, the icons are not arranged according to date. What am I doing wrong? Or better, what can I do to get what I want? I see...

Two FC Questions

(1) Can I have certain folders show me icons (documents), but other folders of pics, show thumbnails--and do this by default, each time I open up that particular folder? (2) Can I customize which folders sort their contents according to name, and which show their contents sorted by modified? I do wa...

Re: Way to have FC display thumbnails only for graphics, icons for all other files?

Thanks, Dreamer. I went ahead and did this. I went into my settings to set up an automatic view, and have a view name Photo, and the condition field has this in it: *.jpg; *.png; *.jpeg; *.bmp I have the view set for Thumbnail, but in a folder full of jpegs, I still see icons. Just remove txt from t...

Re: Way to have FC display thumbnails only for graphics, icons for all other files?

The best I can do is just set the folder for Thumbnail view, and then tell FC to not show thumbnail for PDF, DOC, RTF, etc. I guess that's the way to go here. Problem with that view, is that the icons for the text files are much too big for my tastes and for what I need, when I use the thumbnail vie...

Re: Way to have FC display thumbnails only for graphics, icons for all other files?

I did check that page, but I still didn't see a way to show thumbnails only for folders with lots of graphics (or simply, thumbnails for graphics only). I can go into FC view menu, and switch from icon view to thumbnail view, but that changes the view setting for all files. Can I have FC set up so t...
