Auto Selectable View does not get applied for This PC system folder when a certain Column Profile was used for a Tab

[Forez]

(In the wake of these 3 bugs having been fixed: viewtopic.php?t=13727)

I have a new consistent bug that can result with such contradictory scene:

This will happen if prior to going to This PC root by whatever method / route I would have used prior to this act my >>MXD 1.0.0<< Column Profile, while in the Right Panel I would have used my >>POGO 2.0.1<< Column Profile. This will happen if I will switch Panels i.e. used the >>MXD 1.0.0<< in Right Panel and >>POGO 2.0.1<< in Left Panel. The bug will occur also in both Panels if in both of them I would have used >>POGO 2.0.1<< and would not manifest itself if >>MXD 1.0.0<< would have been used prior to entering the This PC in the Tab


I have in total 4 Column Profiles that were defined by me at

Tools > Settings > View > Column profiles/Automatic views > Column profiles

and which are stored in the

FreeCommander.ini

config file like this:

When this glitch occurs I can always get rid of it by either:

A] first changing the Column Profile from >>POGO 2.0.1<< to >>MXD 1.0.0.<< while still being in the This PC, then navigating to some root folder of a Volume - and then going back to This PC

B] first navigating to some root folder of a Volume, then changing the Column Profile from >>POGO 2.0.1<< to >>MXD 1.0.0.<< - and then going back to This PC


All in all this ill-behavior is fully reversible and consistent. It happens in Build 946 64-bit Donor Portable - but if I roll back with the same settings to FreeCommander XE 2024 Build 912 64-bit Donor Portable and Build 901 32-bit Public Installed then it does not occur

[Forez]

I have also observed this new bug that might have something to do with the above glitch, as it also censers counting of space on volumes and is not manifesting itself when I roll back these 2 older Builds: viewtopic.php?t=14240

You use the detailed view with the condition <Fixed>.
No condition <fixed>

Profiles assigned to the type "No condition <fixed>" are never activated automatically. They can be activated manually via the menu item "View → Column profiles" or the hotkey "Shift+F1". They then stay active until another profile is chosen manually.

I did not find an option to remove this in GUI, so I opened the

FreeCommander.ini

main config file and changed in it

Code: Select all

Condition=<fixed>

into

Code: Select all

Condition=

So now the This PC is shown as I want it i.e. still with in Detailed View mode but always with data about space

But it has a drawback: every time I navigate from This PC up to Desktop or down to whatever volume, the Detailed View mode is sustained - and I do not want that. I need the View to automatically switch to either whatever it was before I navigated to This PC - or if this is impossible - to switch to the basic List View mode. So how can I achieve this?

Define profile conditions - Button f(x)

to switch to the basic List View mode. So how can I achieve this?

Change your Automatic View <Default View>: set View Type to List.
