How to set favorite folder format for lister style or tab group?

If you want the default/user format to be used you should not normally need a style for that. That should be the format the folders get by default, unless some other format is overriding things for the particular folders.

Set the style and tab group to leave the format untouched entirely if you want the folders to get their natural formats, the same as if you opened a new window and navigated to them.

At any time, hover over the format lock on the status bar to find out which format is being used and where it came from. That and lots of other details about how to understand how the format is chosen can be found here (although using Styles on top of things can complicate things further than the guide goes into):

Folder Formats can be complex because they let you do a lot of different things. Without the complexity, the answer would be like in File Explorer: "you can only show each folder one way".

It's a holiday here as well. :slight_smile:
