"Well, various programs (even MS ones) act differently, so I guess in theory it may be possible for paint.net to remember the default (I'm no .NET programmer though, so I'm not entirely sure). \n\nThe Details view never does, only the thumbnail view does. But even then, once Windows has processed such a directory, it doesn't proces the files again, unless they have been changed, or the thumbs.db file is removed. \n\nThat is extremely weird. As I said, it should happen only once. What happens if you navigate to that directory with the Explorer in thumbnail view? \n\nYou can navigate using another view (e.g. Detail or List), this should not cause the behaviour you described. \n\nI agree, it would be a nice feature if PDN remembered both the directory and the view mode it was left in, and/or had a setting to specify it. \nJAL "
