The selected items in the status line of the view window are not saved and reset to the defaults every time the view window is closed.

This problem exists in TP9 as well. The view settings are stored in the file Thumbs9.vconfig. When I upgraded to TP10 the corresponding Thumbs10.vconfig file was not created so I copied Thumbs9.vconfig as Thumbs10.vconfig.
With TP10 closed, edit the Thumbs10.vconfig file and look for this line (note the line likely will have all or almost all values set to "=1"):
The "655nn" values correspond to each option. (Previously, I had right clicked the view status bar and counted the options to relate the option to the "655nn" value.) Through trial and error I got the options set the way I wanted. Off is "=0", On is "=1". Save the file and when you start TP10, the view status options should be set the way you want them.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gary

Your hint worked for me, thank you.

Hello Gary, unfortunately your tip of does not work for me anymore with build 4001. I can no longer find the appropriate entries in the configuration files.
Hello Cerious, please fix this bug (configuration of view window status line not saved and always reset to defaults after closing of view window)! Apparently a long existing error.

Why this issue exists is a puzzle. When you install TP10 (especially a "clean" install), the Thumbs10.vconfig file is not created so there is no way for TP to save view settings. Do you still have a vconfig file? If so, rename it Thumbs10.vconfig and the status bar settings you have manually edited will stick. I would upload the Thumbs10.vconfig file I have, but I don't know how to upload files in this forum. Can anyone help with the upload?

Hello Gary, somehow I lost all .vconfig files. If file uploading directly to this forum fails, I would recommend [link=http://www.zippyshare.com/]Zippyshare[/link]. It is very simple and there is no sign up required.

Ok, see if the link works ...

Of course you will have to edit the file to match the way you want the status bar to display.
Let me know whether or not this works.
Cheers.

Hello Gary!
Thanks a lot. Download worked fine. After editing your Thumbs10.vconfig according to my preferences I can now enjoy a status line that meets my needs.
