hello,
I got a problem with MorphOS 3.9
I want to have "show all files" as standard setting just for some windows. Amiga-like, I went to "fix all" in contextmenu (fix means freeze) but after reboot, only folders/drawers are shown again...
Is this normal or what am I doing wrong?
cheers
If this setting is needed for the top level of a volume (eg the system: or work: volumes) then you need a "disk.info" icon file in the root of the volume (system:disk.info or work:disk.info). This allows the snapshot information for the top level of a volume to be saved, analogous to a folder's icon.
This disk.info file won't show up using Ambient's "icon" view, but will show up using "list" view or using the CLI. You can safely use drag/drop these to copy this file between drives if needed, or use the CLI if you prefer. If you don't have a suitable icon handy, there are some in system:prefs/presets/deficons that should suit your need.
