File Manager - file attribute display and changing

Hi catstevecam and welcome to Seven Forums.

Yes you can display the file extension. In explorer select Organize->Folder and search options. On the view tab uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.


If you right click on an empty area in a folder you can chose sort and grouping options. Type is one of these.

You can change the attributes of some file types (Music & Videos) in the properties details tab.

Glad that's sorted cat. The only way I can think of to apply to hundreds of folders is to include them in the Music Library. You just have to set your options once and it applies to all folders viewed through the library. Unfortunately it is only a library view and doesn't change the actual folder settings.

Maybe someone else will have a better solution.

Hello Cat, and welcome to Seven Forums.

If those audio folders all have the same folder template, then you could use the tutorial below to apply a folder's folder view settings to all folders with the same folder template. This will not work in libraries though.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Shawn. It's always the simple answers.

You're welcome Keith. I just hope it helps Cat. :)

You're most welcome. I'm glad that we could help. :)

No problem Cat. That's the thing about this forum. If a person doesn't know the answer someone else will.
