P9 dialog settings

Is there a bug in P9 in which you can't set the dialog (file open, etc.) to
take on a preferred "view"? I'd like my file open to show me the standard
XP "Details" setting instead of the "List" setting so that I can scroll up
and down (not across) and see the dates of the files I'm searching thru. I
can alter it usually once open, but it doesn't stay that way.

If not a bug, can you help me set it permanently?

Jim

I'm not aware of any such settings in Paradox.

I know there's nothing in the options to make it so, I just thought that
somebody might know a registry setting
or someway to alter the std. view. Funny that they would have the choice in
the dialogs, but not give you a way of making it your default choice.

oh, well

Not a bug in p9.

If M$ didn't program it in, it must NEVER be called a bug. It is then
a FEATURE.

You are talking about an OS issue, and blaming it on a bug in Paradox.

Jim,
just to be sure we're speaking about the same situation:
In the project-viewer I click right on e.g. forms and choose open in the
context menu.
As Tony said, it depends on the OS what happens because Paradox uses the OS
routines.
I tested it just with Vista - I'm not a friend of - and there the chosen
mode is kept. If I choose the detailed view it is still there after
reopening Pdox.

I didnt' realize that it was an OS issue. I'm in p9 so I thought it was p9
handling my clicking of the 'view' icon in a p9 dialog box. Egbert seems to
have answered my question in that it works with Vista but apparently not
with XP, which is what I'm running under.
oh,well....
