File Views

You can change the way that files and folders are displayed in the Folder Pane by changing the File View. One Commander has a number of built-in File Views, which you can modify and add to. One Commander remembers the File View you have selected for each folder.
The File Views are listed by clicking the button in the Folder Pane Toolbar. The button pops up the following list:

  • Default: the basic file view, showing for each item the name (with some metadata, such as the number of pages in a .docx file), "age" of the item (how long since it was last modified), date and time of last modification, attributes, and size.
  • Name Only: displays just file/folder names, with no other columns.
  • Powershell: Similar to Default, but with the columns in a different order (attributes, date, size, name).
  • Thumbnail Grid: Displays thumbnails in a grid; change the size of the thumbnails by holding Ctrl and rotating the Mouse Wheel.
  • Thumbs+Details: The Thumbs+Details File View is optimized for folders containing image files. In Settings > View you can get One Commander to automatically check folders for which you haven't already chosen a File View Design to see whether they might look better using the Thumbs+Details File View. You can override One Commander's choice by selecting another File View.
  • Edit File Views: You can modify any of these File Views, or create custom Views, with the File View Designer.
