Configuration - View Mode Back
Defines one or more view modes. <default> is the standard mode, which is set when none of the rules applies in "Auto Switch Mode".
View Modes: User-defined view modes. Use the buttons on the right to add a new mode, delete an existing mode, or change the mode title.
Add... Adds a new mode. Enter a name appropriate for the view, e.g. "Photos" or "Red".
Delete... Removes the mode selected in the list.
Rename... Allows you to rename the mode selected in the list.
Arrows Change order of the view modes.
Details of the selected mode:
Columns view: The desired columns view, like "Full" or "Brief". If you have defined your own columns in "Custom columns", they will be offered here too.
Sort order: Defines the sort order, e.g. by file name.
Reversed: Descending sort order, e.g. newest or largest files first.
Additional sort orders
Allows you to sort by additional columns, e.g. first by extension, then by size
Tab color and icon: If you work with folder tabs (Ctrl+T), you can define a color and icon here.
Priority: Gives the view mode icon priority over icons loaded by other methods, e.g. from desktop.ini, or drive icon for root directory.
Background: Set a background color for the file panel. For example, it's useful to define a different background color for FTP connections or plugins. This allows you to see immediately when a file panel shows such a location. It's recommended to choose a color which only slightly differs from the default background color, e.g. a very light blue when using a white background.
Background 2: Background color of the file panel for odd lines.
Note: The colors can be set separately for normal and dark mode.
Auto-run commands: Commands to run when the view mode changes. Supports internal commands cm_x and user-defined commands em_x.
Put a dash '-' in front of the commands to not run them when switching between tabs, only on directory changes within a tab.
Put a * in front of the commands to run them on each directory change to and within that view mode. Without the *, the commands are executed only when switching from a different view mode to this view mode. Use a comma to use multiple commands.
To run commands when a view mode is left, put them behind | (vertical line).
Example: cm_100percent|cm_50percent
Expands the active panel to full window width when activating a specific view mode (e.g. thumbnails view), and returns to 50:50 view when leaving that view mode.
