'Files' option missing from Tiles
« on: April 26, 2006, 12:25:28 am »

I never noticed this before but I think this used to be an option right?

I know MC 11.1 is on fixing bugs now so maybe this is for MC 12, but since you can't bring the files at bottom all the way to the top, can the 'files' option for each tile be added back and maybe just make it a full blown panes viewing option after selecting a tile?  That would be perfect!

In thinking about this a little more, the opposite could be done when starting with pane browsing.  After making a few selections from the panes, it would be killer to then continue browsing in tiles.  There could either be a toggle or right click option on the selected files to then see panes! ;D

"Files" option is still there under tiles for me.

If your tiles are set too small for all the links to fit, you should see a "view" option, and when you click on that, you should see some options, the last of which should be "Files"

Nope they are not there.  I must have switched off some sort of setting.  I tried turning 'filter in both directions' on and off but that made no difference.

Hmmm....

I jsut created a brand new library with default view schemes and the file option is still not there.  What options or settings would still be global in this respect to libraries in MC?

The 'Files' option will disappear if the files view has already been turned on and it will be listed in under 'View' if there isn't enough space to show all view options under the thumbnail (as in marko's example).

Can you send or post a screenshot of what you're seeing...

OK, OK, misunderstanding here.

I see now that when the files at bottom are minimized or closed, the file option returns to each tile which then only brings back the files at bottom when selected.  This is bad!

I would like an option to see a files link in every tile at all times that allows you to see a full screen view of those listed files.

There used to be an option in the beginning of the library merge right?
