Struggling to get 'Auto Switch Mode' configured properly

Post by *ducmans »

Hi,

I'm trying to get below directory structure shown to me in the mentioned sort order by using 'Auto Switch Mode'. That is all (sub-)directories sorted on Name and the files in the bottom directory sorted on Date.
I tried using several rules and wildcards but I cannot get the files in the bottom directory to be sorted on Date and all directories above that to be sorted on Name.

I tried this :
4_rules=D|&+E:\GC Info\*\
4_mode=5
5_rules=D|&+E:\GC Info\*\*\
5_mode=5
6_rules=D|&+E:\GC Info\*\*\*\
6_mode=5
7_rules=D|&+E:\GC Info\*\*\*\*\*.pdf *.jpg * .gif
7_mode=6

Can someone please give me the correct rule syntax to achieve this.

Thanks for your time!

Try this in your wincmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

[ViewModes]

1_name=DateTimeSort
1_icon=
1_commands=*|cm_SrcByName 1
1_options=-1|3|1||-1|-1|-1

Code: Select all

[ViewModeSwitch]
Enabled=1
0_rules=+E:\GC Info\*\*\*\*\*
0_mode=1
Just change the 1_ and the 0_ to match you case

Hi Petermad, it works like a charm :-)

I'll have a look at the autorun-commands, missed that at first.

Thanks !
