X2 Open Dialog Window

[mross]

When you open a file using the open dialog box it is set to default as "Large Icons".

I would like to set this to "List" by default. Is there any way to do this?

I looked through the help menu and searched the forum here but didn't find anything relevant.

it may be tied in to your windows settings. do you get the same thing using windows explorer? try set your directory's to details and apply to all typs

mross,

 

For me, it has always stuck to the last display type that I used.

That's the way it is supposed to work and it's the way it works for me.

my windows settings are set to use "list".

and i have changed x2 to this format several times and they don't seem to be sticking.

i can however notice that when i click on open, when the window pops up for a brief period, not even a full second, they're shown in the "list" format but then it just jumps over to "large icons"

BTW....in the McamX control panel applet, in the "file open dialog style", when I tell it to use "windows standard" it works how I want, but if it's set to "mastercam x" it does not.

and I don't have a problem using the "windows standard" but you don't get to see a preview or descriptor or any of that special stuff.

 

oh...and I am using Windows 2000 Pro. don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Hi guys -

 

This seems to be a bug on Windows 2000 systems only. It has been logged as cnc00024894. Thank you.

[mross]

thanks Chris, unfortunately some of us are stuck working on older workstations...

Time to dump win2k support perhaps,

 

SW2007 will not run on it, MS no lunger supports it. Off into the past.

I have that too, runnin' Windows 2000
