Description szucsilikes00 2025-08-15 18:10:27 UTC 
I think it would be better if icon view is used when 50% of the folder's content is images or videos.

The best way to do it if we divide the total items with "float(2)". 2.0 would result in double and here we don't care that much about accuracy so using float should be better than double. Dividing with a float number could allow us to change what percentage is needed to switch to icon view so instead of dividing with 2.0 we could multiply with 0.5 and we can have a slider to change the threshold.

Also integer variables for Dynamic view is set with "uint" instead of "int". Only Dynamic view uses uint and as far as I'm aware uint is undefined in c++ and nowhere else in the code uint is used this should be change to normal int.
