How to keep icon size permanent in ~ (Thumbs)? [SOLVED]

Post by Sky Aisling »

Hi Tipsters,
The distro is Bionicpup64-uefi running on a Dell Inspiron N7010
How do I keep the icon size permanent in ~ (Thumbs)?

The icon size always reverts back to a list view whenever ~ (Thumbs) is opened. I want to lock it to a graphic view. Where's the switch to do that?

This is the desired configuration:

icon size 2.png
icon size 2.png (19.08 KiB) Viewed 683 times

Thank you in advance for your tip. :)
Sky

@Sky Aisling :-

Sky, I'm moving this thread to 'Users'. Simple reason that this section is where YOU tell other people how to fix something, or you found a way to make something work & you're passing that information on.

It's NOT for asking "How to....."?

Okay?

Mike. ;)

Right click on the background white space of a rox window,
select Options
select Icon View at the left,
configure it the way you want,
click OK.

You can set the default display configuration for a particular dir by
display the dir you want, the way you want,
right click, select Display -> Save Current Display Settings

Then, when you display that dir, it will display by default that dir the way you like.

Thank you, @williams2
I'd forgotten to check the ROX options settings. Of course :roll:

@mikewalsh Mike, please delete this thread if you like. Give the forum a bit more space. I'm a bit embarrassed by it.

There are no embarrassing question on this forum!

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

@bigpup
It's been so long since I've had to set up a new-to-me machine and tweak the distro that I've forgotten some of the basics. lol!
Once I get a Puppy up and rolling, they take care of themselves most the time. I sure like the format of this new forum. This forum is so much easier to use than our 'beloved' old forum. Thanks for your part in making it so.
Happy Holidaze,
Sky
