    Folder and Subfolder views


    Hello,

    I have a slight problem with my Music folder (W7 x64), I'd like different views for my folders and sub-folders but if I apply one type, ALL folders gets the same view type.

    Here is what I'd like to do :

    Music : content as List
    ------Artists : Content as List
    ------------Albums : Content as Details


    I had no problem doing that with vista, it's a bit odd.
    Thanks for your tips.

    Hello Tx8, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Is this the Music Library folder instead of the C:\Users\(user-name)\My Music folder? If so, then this is normal in a library folder. All included folders in a library share the same folder view. You would have to access it from the C:\Users\(user-name)\My Music folder location instead to have separate folder views per folder.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    I just use Library for this. I set the first view as (Arrange by) Artist, it then automatically sets the next view as Album, then Song. You can change each view for a different look and it carries though out the same view type.

    See attached of course...

    I guess I have my answer
    Thank you.


    Edit : Library won't work for me, I have way too many artists to get something clean.

    Ah I see Logicearth,

    All Included Folders and subfolders in the library will share the same folder view, but all folders in the library will allow separate "Arrange by" views. Nice. :)
