Not getting a very basic aspect of appearance and settings

Hi all

I seem to be completely misunderstanding the most basic aspect of how customising folders’ appearance works.

Let me give you an example.

I have a folder with mp3 music files. I want the folder (in details view) to display the Title and Artist. I right click the top bar, and select “More…” I then select “title” from the documents menu, and “artist” from the music menu. My folder now displays the artist and title as expected. I then “save the current folder format” by selecting “for this folder” from the drop down.

I then click on a folder with images. This now shows Artist and Title. I change this to something more appropriate for images, and save this in the same way as before. Now my problem is, that when I go back to my Music folder, this has changed to the settings for the images folder. My artist and title have disappeared.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Mark
