    Default Status disabled

    When I log in and go to my Catalog / Products area in my admin my Status enabled / disabled is always on disabled. I do not remember this happening before with 1.39. I am using 1.5.0 now. Did I forget to turn something on in my admin/ config area? I can click on the red x and it stays on (green) until I leave or get logged off. Then when I log on it is back to a red x that shows disabled.
    One last question. Every thing seems to be working when it is disabled. So what exactly is disabled?

    The "status enabled/disabled" thing you're talking about is for the filter menu.

    The red "X" which you circled in the image you posted, it refers to whether the dropdown filter menu is displayed or not. If you click it then the dropdown menu will appear and the red X will disappear.

    The dropdown/pulldown filter menu is *not* displayed by default because it requires significant server resources to prepare that list, and on larger stores that will cause a serious slowdown when you try to view that page. If you need that feature, you can click it to turn it on and use it. But if you don't need it, then it won't cause any slowdowns on you either since it's disabled by default.

    I'm seeing the opposite on a fresh v1.5.0 install, i.e. the filter menu is displayed by default (showing Status-disabled and the red-x icon); clicking on the red-x produces a green-check icon and the filter menu is no longer displayed.

    Yes you are correct. The red X appears by default. Clicking it changes the filter and shows a green checkmark instead.

    Default Re: Status disabled

    Mine shows as a red x meaning disabled, but that is when the sort box shows.
    When I make a green enable icon show, there is no drop box.
    (I thought it would be the other way around?)

    I'd like to make this off by default on login as we have a lot of categories.
    Is this possible? (even though as above the red x for disabled, does show...)

    Thanks

    Yes, that is correct. I explained it differently in my prior post. Apologies.

    Yes. It'll require setting the default value in the core code to the opposite of what it does now.
    Change /admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php
    line 17:
    Code:
    if (!isset($_SESSION['display_categories_dropdown'])) {
      $_SESSION['display_categories_dropdown'] = 0; // change to 1 for the default to have it hidden.
    }
