LO41834: CREATE ATTACHMENT DIALOG BOX DOES NOT RETAIN VIEW SETTINGS

APAR status

• Closed as requirement.

Error description

• Problem with file explore dialog (e.g. attach file). The files &
  folders are
  always shown in the Thumbnail view instead of the detailed
  listing.
  When user is accessing the file dialog, for example when trying
  to save an
  attachment, the explorer dialog is always opened in the
  Thumbnail view. If the
  user changes to the Detail view it will be reset to Thumbnail
  the next time the
  file dialog is opened. The Windows explorer by itself is set to
  the Details
  view by default. If you browse the same directory directly using
  the Windows
  Explorer, the folders and files are being displayed in the
  Details view. Does
  not affect Microsoft Office applications or any others (If you
  browse the same
  directory directly using the Windows Explorer, the folders and
  files are being
  displayed in the Details view)
  
  
  Doc # 1102793 describes the same problem but with different
  view. 'List'
  listing style is selected by default but the 'Thumbnails'
  listing style. It's
  not a problem of the size of the dialog but the wrong listing
  style, which is
  very inconvenient for navigation.
  Environment: Lotus Notes client version 7.0.1 on Windows XP and
  Citrix
  MetaFrame on Windows Server 2003
