How to exclude the subfolders in Auto Switch Mode conditions?

Post by *rt2ryu »

I want to make the Auto Switch Mode conditions like this
if the folder have any subfolder ,the Auto Switch Mode will not work.
or in another way if the folder had full of pictures,maybe 10 or more,the switch mode to picture thumbnail,but if it has a subfolder and 10 pictures,it will still the default mode.

How to add the conditions in the Auto Switch Mode rule? :?: :?: :?: :?:

use: c:\photos\ If you want the auto-switch mode for folder "photos" only,
use: c:\photos\* If you want the auto-switch mode for folder "photos" and all subfolders

Just press F1 or HELP-Button for more options on it.

Sorry, you don't understand what I says.

when folder\subfolder\subfolder exist the folder and subfolder both have only subfolder and picture. I want the folder have the subfolder and picture both mixed, the rule is not switch.and this also fit for the subfolder.

LIKE THIS FOLDER EXAMPLE

Code: Select all

1
│  11.png
└─1
    │  12.png
    │  13.png
    │  14.png
    └─2
        │  21.png
        │  22.png
        │  23.png
        └─3
         31.png
in the folder

Code: Select all

 1   1\1    1\1\2  
both have sub-folder and pic file,so it will not auto switch, but in the

Code: Select all

1\1\2\3
it only have pic files ,not have sub-folder, the rule will work to switch show thumbnail

It will be hard for people to understand you. Look at your folder example. Look how it is displayed now. Put your folder example in [ code ] ... [ /code ] tags, as this will preserve indentation. :)
