To J P Gilliver That sounds like something that Windows is doing. I call a routine where you can select a file, and that routine is "out of my control" until you select a file or cancel. I think if it is showing two columns, and you click the one on the right, it moves it to the left because the right column might be slightly longer than what shows (there might be space there after the file names, but it is not showing a third column because not quite all of the possible width of the column is showing.) I think the column width depends on the width of the longest file name in that folder. For example, if you pick a different folder where ALL file names are short, like Smith.jpg and Jones.jpg and other short names, it might shows more columns or the columns might be narrower. If the folder contains long file names, the columns are wider. John Steed ________________________________ From: J. P.

To: J. P. Gilliver, et. al., I believe the issue of self scrolling file lists is a "Windows File Explorer" thing (is it "File Manager" in Win 7?). It depends on the "view" method selected for the directory. John Gilliver, when you wrote that you had to "...scroll right" it indicates to me that the folder setting was as "List View" or perhaps "... Icon View." When you access that folder (even via a dialog box/window from another program), there is often more than one column of files shown in those views. Hence the need to scroll right to select your file. If you click on a file in the right hand column, you select that file, but the window shifts to move that column left so that it's information is also shown. When it does this, your cursor is now hovering over a different (unselected) file name. Thus the second click is selecting a file you didn't intend. I think the default view for folders with pictures is one of the sizes of "Icon View" which give you a thumbnail of the contents and the name. If you change the folder in Windows File Explorer to display as "Details View" it will list the files vertically because there isn't room for two columns of that information in the dialog box/window. But you won't see the thumbnail of the picture then.

Yes, that's what's happening (though [a] I _think_ I've seen it happen with not-just-the-rightmost column of filenames, [b] I've not been aware of the problem in other than BK, though I can't _swear_ it hasn't happened). > >I think the default view for folders with pictures is one of the sizes >of "Icon View" which give you a thumbnail of the contents and the That certainly is the default in Windows Explorer, yes. In BK, I'm getting "List view" when I click "Add Picture" (which suits me: I can see more files that way, and it's usually the name I'm going for anyway - if they're scans of document pages, the thumbnails aren't really big enough to tell one document page from another). >name.

I like Details in Explorer most of the time, as when I'm using Explorer, I generally am interested in dates and sizes; in BK, I'm happy that it comes up in List, as I can see more files that way, and am usually looking for a file I've just placed there with some other app. (such as a browser or IrfanView). > >Regards to all, >Roy Marriott > Compliments of the Season, JPG === [] How about a three-way referendum, allowing second choices? -- Are petitions unfair?

It is not the windows shell. I have changed my File-explorer views and my BK7 always shows the same view. Please note that BK7 has its OWN control of Win-Explorer. See my pics >>> Top Right-hand corner, a Windows option, but in a Brothers Keeper Window. http://www.pycroft.co.nz/temp/BK7_Pic-View.jpg Once you have chosen an "add picture" file view, that selection is the same for each restart of BK.

Change / Resize of the "Add picture" folder view in BK (v.7.3.3 registered). My Win10 setting for BK Picture folder is "Details," but it looks like BK keeps its own (last used?) setting. Clicking "Add Picture" to a person opens a window of the default BK picture folder with a default (in my case: "Icon") view type. But if I change BK's "Select picture file" view of that folder from "Icon" to "Details," that sticks. So that next time I use "Add picture," I now see the folder opened in "Details" view. I then closed and reopened BK and the view remained as I had chosen from within the BK "select picture file" window. I then rebooted windows, opened BK, and the chosen "Details" view still remained. So I find that the selected view type (when selected from within BK) then becomes the new default for BK. I can also change the SIZE of the "select picture file" window being displayed from within BK and the new size also sticks throughout the close, reopen, and reboots. So if you would like a larger Window for "Select picture file" and if you have enough space on your screen you can drag the edge(s) with your double arrow <--> and then your file list might not jump to the left.
