Set default view for folders from command line
(1/1)

Hi all,
I have some Samba remote folders that I would like to automatically open as "Split view" when I double click them.
I can set the "Default" opening mode to "Split view", but this setting is lost after reboot. Is there any way to set the "Default" opening mode for a folder via REXX?
Thanks
Gabriele
Alex Taylor:
You should be able to use SysSetObjectData with a setup string of 'DEFAULTVIEW=SPLITVIEW;'.
Andreas Schnellbacher:
You can easily use the 'Open as...' cascade menu item to set a folder's default view: Keep the Sh key pressed while clicking with MB1 on a view item.
BTW: That feature is apparently not well documented in XWP's hlp and inf files. But I've found it here: xfld001.hlp -> Version Information -> XWorkplace 1.0.9.
o Shift+MB1 on an item in the 'Open as' menu now sets the default view for files and folders. Bug 4 [rw]

Hi Andreas, the folder is a remote (Netdrive) resource and the setting is lost with reboot.
