In Eagle, the thumbnail size and layout settings for each folder are independently remembered. This design accommodates the content differences and usage habits of different folders——after all, not all folders store the same type or size of materials, and different types of content often require different thumbnail sizes to achieve the optimal browsing experience.

This behavior is consistent with macOS Finder and Windows File Explorer: they also remember view layout, icon size, and sorting settings individually for each folder.

Why this design approach?

For example, a folder storing high-resolution photography works might need larger thumbnails to appreciate details, while a folder containing numerous UI icons might be better suited to smaller thumbnails to browse more content at once. Similarly, justified layout can keep the interface neat and organized; while when images have significantly different heights, waterfall layout can better utilize space and improve browsing efficiency. Independent settings allow you to optimize for each folder's specific needs.

Adjusting thumbnail size and layout for individual folders

Open the target folder
Use the thumbnail size slider in the toolbar above the list to adjust thumbnails to the appropriate size
Click the "Order By" icon in the upper right corner and select your desired layout
Once completed, you can switch to other locations

When you return to that folder again, it will automatically retain the thumbnail size and layout you last set.

Can I batch adjust thumbnail size or layout for multiple folders?

Currently, Eagle does not yet support batch modification of thumbnail size or layout for multiple folders. If you have this need, please feel free to submit suggestions through "Support → Contact Support," and we will carefully evaluate and include it in our future development plans.
