Can I Customize the Appearance of Windows?

[mulluysavage]

When I open a folder, I'd love to have the default view be list view sorted by last modified (most recent at top) is there a way to do this?

You're talking about ROX-Filer file manager? If so, have you read the ROX-Filer manual? (Click on the life preserver "Help" at the top right of a ROX window and you'll see it.) I don't know if it will answer your question or even be much help, I'm just asking.

Hi Mulluysavage

Reading the manual is worthwhile as there are many tricks and views available. By right clicking somewhere within the rox window you get seven menu headings, the middle one being "Options". Left click that and you get the options menu. On the display heading on the left panal select list and by date in the "view type" and "sort by" drop down menus. Click OK at the bottom. then shut your Rox window and reopen. You will now have a list view with the latest at the bottom. By clicking the date headings this will change to the top. Not sure how to make this view permanent as it seems to revert to latest at bottom and I prefer by name but this will get you most of the way.
I also tend to change the Icon view to automatic to avoid large icons.
Hope this helped.
