But I'd have to go in the options each time to save each one, one by one, would I not?!
This isnt what Im trying to do, I'd like to change them on the fly, every time I want and not worry about going in the option to save em...
For example, after I set my default template for the entire computer drive and subfolders... I'd open the C drive and see the column at lets say 200 width (default set by me).
Now I'd like to stretch that a bit to lets say 250, and go into program files, I want only C drive to show 250, program files to show 200...
Now I close the explorer and go back in my comp, c drive, i want C drive to remember that it was 250 without me having to save it....
Now les say that I deem 250 is a bit too big for me (2min after setting it), I now want to change it to 225, well the next time I go in C drive, i want it to have width of 225..... WITHOUT saving it manually every time...
I just want to be able to resize a column, and have it auto save for that folder as I browse.... and this isnt possible with what I know....
Correct me if Im wrong?

take the current format and apply it to the current folder if you wanted.
See the manual and the Resource Centre for further information.

Subject: RE: Web Support 360003961744 : UsageThat's not at all what I asked...
I have too many folders, and I want to customize each one on the fly, and
then modify them again whenever I feel like it without having to go to the
options and saving it every time..You know what I mean?
XP and Vista have a feature that Remembers the folder views that was last
viewwed for every folder....
I want opus to do that, without having to save each and everyone.....From: greg@gpsoft.com.au

Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 11:47:49 +1000Hi Neg,
Many thanks for your interest in Directory Opus 9.
It sounds like you are on the right track:) You need set the global
formats
in Preferences - Folders - Folder Formats then the default formats such as
Custom (the actual default format) then others such as Local Drives or
specific folders if you wish.Perhaps delete or turn off all but the Custom folder settings to start
with
then work up from there. In Folder Formats (top section) delete all but
leave anything with COLL://. Leave the Content Type Formats alone and for
Default Formats, turn off all then ensure that the Custom Format is how
you
want it. Save Preferences. Close Opus fully (tray menu - Exit) and rerun
and
start from there.Remember that there is a special feature of Opus called Automatic
recognition of Content Type. Did you not notice the Content type field on
the bottom right of the status bar? This shows you what content type has
been selected for the types of files in the current folder.You can turn this off from the Content Type field by setting this to
Disabled or from Preferences - Folders - Options - Enable Folder Content
Type detection.Note that Content Type is a powerful system but can take a little
refinement
depending on just how you use your machine. We have tried to set the
defaults to 'acceptable' values but refinement may be needed.Content type is an extension of the normal Opus Folder Options system so
you
can define and control exactly what it does.For example, go to Prefs - Folders - Folder Formats and expand the Content
Type formats section. Highlight, say, Images and click Edit (or just
Double-Click) and you will see the standard-type dialogs for Folder
Options.
Here you can set what you want the Content type formats to display as you
want and you can change the Sort Order etc. Note that these settings
complement the existing Folder Options in the Lister - by that I mean if
you
do not have a setting turned on, e.g. Sorting, then the content type will
not change this. Maybe all you have to do is turn off Sorting on the
Content
type you are interested in?Also check the Options - here you can change the Threshold - which is
sometimes too low depending on the types of files you are looking at.
Also,
you can create your own Content Types if you wish to refine the system
further.Have a read of the section in the Changes document on Content type and you
will gain a good overview of the system.But, if you don't want it. Just turn it off!

If you still have a problem, ask a question on the DOpus Resource Centre
forums.__

Submission Date: 2/8/2009 5:01:42 PMHello,
I am trying this program because my main turnoff with vista is how it
cant seem to remembers how I like my folders.Now after an hour or two, I figured out how to get OPUS to remember
some folders if I click on 'Edit the current appearance and setting of
the current folder' button on the toolbar, and then click the 'save the
current folder format'...Simply put, I'm looking for the feature that windows 95, 98, 2000, me,
xp, and vista all have, its called: 'Remember each folder's view
setting'... as the name implies it remembers each folders view settings
(or is supposed to anyways), now yours does the trick if I go in there
and save it etc, but if I want to change it on the fly really quick,
and forget to save it again, itll just revert back to the old
setting....Isn't there a way like in win 95,98,xp..etc where I can go in my C
drive and set the folder I want for all the subfolders (yes I can do
this in OPUS), BUT THEN as I browse the sub folders underneath, if some
of them have extra large filenames, I'd like to expand THAT folders
filename size and NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CLICKING 3 extra times to get
it to REMEMBER that view, it should REMEMBER this view automatically,
and AGAIN automatically should I decide to change this..Does OPUS not have this basic 'REMEMBER EACH FOLDER'S VIEW SETTINGS'
thats inherent in all the operating systems so far?!
