Hi Glynor.
Standard View .
Theater View is configured ok but I cant seem to
get the same result with standard.
I did a search and copied some code into the manage fields
panel but it only worked for folders nested 1 deep.

In for both, you can add a File Path type Category to your View.  This usually works best if it is the first (or only) category added to the View.



Just leave the Select Path field blank to have it start browsing from the filesystem root location (and show the drive letters).  If you want it "pre-narrowed down" (because all possible files will be contained within a particular folder or filesystem location), then you can put something in this box.

This works if they're all within the same root directory.

In the latter, Marko's MC17 View Schemes guide is mostly still accurate, and will certainly get you there.
