remember directory layout for each directory

remember directory layout (brief, full, thumbnails etc) and sorting on per directory basis

My Win 7 installation is pretty virgin, and still I have more than 31000 folders - a lot to keep track of.

There is an Autohotkey script for this:

it can keep the settings for the folder in the folder itself

This incorrect over generalization suggests that you are using Total Commander in elevated mode all the time. Else you would pretty soon learn what error #5 means.
Normal users are not allowed to create objects in all folders.

Personally I do not like the idea - irrespective of access permissions - of a software that spreads its personal data across the whole disk in all folders.

So either Total Commander will have to create and update a dedicated file for this, maybe an sqlite3 db in its own folder (%appdata%\ghisler by default), or do what Explorer does, clutter the registry with such data.

Yes, There should be a law against such behaviour.

The user has created a few user-definied detailviews and stored it with a name.
You could use these as templates and the TC would remember that ones (per user) that deviates from the normal view.
By doing this >user-specific< you exclude the conflict with the right-management from Vista/Win7/Win8.
The average user will not configure 31.000 folders. Even this should not be a performance problem.
The average user has a few standard detail lists for movies, MP3, etc, for which he wants to see automatisation.
Other file managers offer this feature already. This is standard filemanagement nowadays.

I support this request!

Der Benutzer hat ein paar benutzerdefinierte Spalten angelegt und mit einem Namen gespeichert.
Man könnte diese als Vorlagen benutzen und der TC müsste sich -Benutzerspezifisch- die Einstellung für jeden Ordner merken, die von der Normalansicht abweicht. Also wäre ein Konflikt mit der Rechtevergabe von Vista/Win7/Win8 ausgeschlossen.
Der normale Benutzer wird keine 31.000 Ordner konfigurieren. Selbst dies sollte keine Performance-Problem sein. Der normale Benutzer hat ein paar Standard-Detaillisten für Filme, für Mp3 usw, die er automatisch sehen will. Andere Dateimanager bieten diese Funktion schon längst. Heutzutage ist diese Funktion standard.

Der Vorschlag hat meine Unterstützung!

And Twinkey does it, by setting a fairly robust folder filter and assigning a view to that filter.

Filter has the options of "Can Contain", "Must Contain" and "Not Contain", as well as Asterix (any char) in the filter.

I've only set a handful of filters, primarily for MP3s and image folder.

It is one of the most important needs to bring forth the thumbnails automatically (or configured) - And even more important: To prevent the unwanted thumbnails in all the other directories.

The first is for comfort but the other one is really annoying.

Es scheint eine der wichtigsten Forderungen zu sein, die Thumbnails entweder automatisch (oder benutzerdefiniert) zu zeigen - und mindestens genauso wichtig: Zu verhindern, dass Thumbnails in nicht gewünschten Verzeichnissen weiterhin angezeigt werden.

Das Erste wäre eine Erleichterung aber beim Zweiten handelt es sich um ein Ärgernis.
