[SOLVED] Folder View Setting

Post by helloimustbegoing »

Is there a way to set the folder view individually, for each different folder? Some folders I'd like to set as "View as icons," while other folders I'd like to set as "View as compact list." It seems that this setting is one setting system wide. Can't different folders be set individually?

I installed xfce for a neighbor and this was her complaint also.
I finally installed the caja file manager and set it as default.
She was all smiles and didn't nag me about this again.
Everything in life was difficult before it became easy.

Will using Caja nullify any settings I made in Windows Manager & Window Manager Tweaks?

Thanks all41. That was an easy fix. And I see that it doesn't affect any other settings.

One new problem is caja isn't showing for me thumbnails of video files. I made a new thread for it: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=194938
