i got a few old, rather annoying bugs... that rather bug me (pardon the pun ;))

anyway:

1: Setting folder customisation you can choose "Pictures" (ie thumbnails) and apply to subfolders as well. This does not work at all. The sub folders stay the same, and so does the folder im customising

2: Some folders are linked to others, for instance, E:\Pictures\G-BYAG is linked to E:\ So if i set E:\ to be icons, the G-BYAG folder will also change, and the same happens in reverse, if i set the G-BYAG folder to picture/thumbnails, E:\ uses that mode too. I also have a few other folders that do this, like C:\DC++\temp and C:\ using same options etc etc

does anyone else see these bugs?

WinXP-32 SP2 fully updated.
 
I find the 'apply to subfolders' option to be very hit and miss. Sometimes it seems to do exactly what it says on the tin, and other times it affects folders other than the subfolders. It once managed to change every folder on my computer to thumbnail view, which was very annoying as I couldn't undo it, so had to change folders back manually.
 
I've also found the whole thing completely temporamental and decided to stay well clear of it. I've had every folder go into thumbnail mode, I've had folders stay changed for a while then randomly switch back, it's all erratic the moment I start to change anything. The feature seems to be implemented terribly.
