Remember directory sort column for each tab

Post by psager »

Hi
I'm using xplorer2 in dual pane mode.
In each of the pane I have a number of (named) tabs.
One of the tab is pointing to my "Donwloads" folder.
I'd like to sort this tab by the "Modified" column. The other tabs should be sorted by the "Name" column.
I can achieve this, by clicking on the corresponding column header.
Unfortunately, after restarting xplorer2 all tabs in the pane are sorted by the same column (by the one that I've last selected).
Would be great if you could add a feature that xplorer2 remembers the sort order per tab (and not per pane).
Thanks

use TOOLS > ADVANCED OPTIONS menu and search for "tab", then tick "each folder tab can have different view settings"
another possibility is to make "downloads" folder custom, save it with ACTIONS > FOLDER SETTINGS > SAVE. Perhaps that's more reasonable for your use regardless of tabs
