To switch to pure alphabetical sorting (e.g. “2” comes after “11”), uncheck the //Use natural order numerical sorting// on the [[ui_pref_panels|//Panels// page]] of Preferences dialog. On the same preferences page, you can also opt to //Always sort directories by name//. | ||

| + | ===== [[view_style]] View Style ===== | ||

The Explorer interface additionally offers //Large// and //Small Icons// views. | ||

| + | In //==Thumbnails==// view, the local panel shows the same thumbnails as Windows File Explorer. The remote panel by default supports showing thumbnails of image files only. The remote image files are downloaded [[transfer_queue|on the background]].((Complete images are downloaded, as no protocol allows generating thumbnails remotely. Only images smaller than 50 MB are downloaded.)) | ||

If some files are hidden, their number is indicated on status bar (clicking that display also shows them). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that with FTP protocol some servers do not list hidden files when ''[[ui_login_ftp#protocol_options|MLSD]]'' command is used. You may need to disable ''MLSD'' to switch to ''LIST'' and make sure that [[ui_login_ftp#protocol_options|''-a'' switch is used]]. | ||
