guest148 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi, Thumbnail view is annoying, I really dislike it (it's slow, it's ugly, doesn't give relevant info and often causes hangs/crashes). That's why I set my default folder view to 'details' in windows explorer. As for applications, all other programs I use also use a detail list in their save dialog. Only PDN insists on setting it to thumbnails everytime. You can change it to detail view while saving, but next time, it's back to thumbnails again. Is there a way to stop this? I read a thread about it being possible in Vista, but not in XP, so I asked about it in that thread, which was old, but still very relevant to the current situation, but it was locked. Anyway, is there, or will there be any way to not be forced to thumbnail view in the PDN save dialog, when using XP? Every other program can do it, so it's not impossible. I realise the application is free, so I don't want to demand anything, just asking for info. PDN is great software, kudos for making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest148 Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yes, I'm talking about the thumbnail view in the save dialog. You may like thumbnails, I don't. In the save dialog it's possible to change view type to details, but next time you save something, it's back to thumbnails again. I would like it to remember my choice.

david.atwell Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 This is fixed in Vista; I'm not sure whether Rick is working on a fix for XP or not. The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest148 Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Not for me. I always have detail view. Both in explorer and in save dialogs of other programs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airspeed Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hi there, I had the same problem. Everytime I hit save, Paint would shutdown. I was doing a screenshot and it was the only way I knew how to do it. I had to abandon my project. It finaly dawned on me that Paint was shutting down because my computer was overloaded. DUH, (I guess I was thrown off because the program shutdown before the dialog box opened.) But not before I tried restoring, reformating and buying a new harddrive. :oops: SO I moved my pics out of the My Picture folder and put them in another folder so I could use the Paint program again. There is another workaround, but you have to be a genius. Here is the link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/03/CQA/ and the quote: Fortunately, in this case that way is not hard to find. Once again Spy++ comes to the rescue. Spelunking with Spy++ reveals what happens when the user selects a different view, using the dropdown menu in Figure 4. The dialog sends a WM_COMMAND message to the SHELLDLL_DefView, with command ID = 0x702c. So to change the view to details, all you have to do is send a WM_COMMAND—to the shell window, not the list control: :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
