Default [Fixed] Thumbnail view

Is there a way to make the thumbnail view show when I save images? When I had the My Pictures folder on my internal drive it would do that, but because I use a LOT of pics i moved it to an external drive.... right now when I save the view is set to list -- can I change this permanatly so I don't have to right click > view> thumbnails everytime?

Also is there a way to keep the files arranged by Modified? and more importantly -- why when I try to arrange this folder like that there is no modified option, just Artist, Album, Duration, Year, etc as if it were a music folder?

Default Re: Thumbnail view

when you are in the folder, just set it to the option you want, and the OS should maintain it. I say 'should', as I don't know what OS you have. Just click view > thumbnails for that folder, and it should remember it.

To add the modified column, right click on the title area in the right pane (where you see name, date created, etc) and choose 'date modified', and it will add it to the columns. You can also untick whatever you need to there, and access other options by clicking 'view more'.

thanks,

v

it saves it when I open explorer again, but when I right click "save as" in Firefox it shows the list, not the thumbnail like I want it to -- and I'm using XP

The other advice worked, thanks!

Default Re: Thumbnail view

what do you mean, in firefox? that's a web browser, and that most likely will not follow the same rules as the windows OS.

Other than that, everything good? If so, I'll mark this one fixed.

thanks,
