Media Section, Umbraco 4.9.1., Summary View of Folders
In the Media section, when you click on a folder in your Media content tree in the left hand section, the main section will display icons in rows of what that folder contains.
After upgrading to from 4.0.4.2 to 4.9.1 I have two issues:
1) There is only a single column of icons (no rows) in I.E.
Is there some CSS somewhere for the media folder that I need to tweak?
2) I have been asked to only show icons for pictures (not sub-folders or file types). In the previous installation it looked like this:
What approach did you take when upgrading? Have you made sure to get all new config files copied in to the /config/ folder and have you made sure to merge the other configuration files?
Do you see any error messages in the browser console when accessing the media section and browsing images and folders etc.?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Btw I recommend that you upgrade all the way to at least 4.11.8 since it's the most stable release and some serious bugs exist in 4.9 unfortunately. By upgrading to 4.11.8 you also make sure that your site is not vulnerable to the security issues found in the core this week.
The point is this should not happen - it should just work. It should really not be neccesary for you to have to go and modify the styling of the Umbraco backoffice.
Therefore I suspect there is an issue somewhere that can be caused by a variety of things.
And it also fixes a long range of minor and major bugs with Umbraco 4.9 - My point is we can spent a lot of time figuring out this tiny issue but you will still be left with some nasty core bugs AND secrurity issues.
Therefore I honestly think that your time is bette spent upgrading to the latest stable version of v4 so the most nasty bugs are fixed and the security issues are fixes so they will not come back to haunt you so you'll be pulling your hair out of your head - trust me, been there done that.

Jan,
I guess I shouldn't have said "upgraded" - I did a clean install of 4.9.1 and rewrote all the XSLT's from the 4.0.4.2 installation to make it work.
I do not see any other error messages.
Where is the CSS set for the display of this? If I could get to it, I could probably handle this.
IE's built in "developer tools" (hit F12 when IE has the focus) (like Firebug) show that a style called
.umbFolderBrowser .items LI
is set to
display:inline-block
When I change it to
display:inline
in the Firebug-like IE editor, the display problems goes away.
Can you give me any clues on where to look to address items 1 and 2?
I can see how upgrading to 4.11.8 is important, but I don't think it would address issue 2.

Honestly I'll urge you to upgrade to 4.11.8 since it fixes the newly discovered security issues as mentioned in this post http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2013/5/1/security-update-two-major-vulnerabilities-found.aspx
And it also fixes a long range of minor and major bugs with Umbraco 4.9 - My point is we can spent a lot of time figuring out this tiny issue but you will still be left with some nasty core bugs AND secrurity issues.

Just my 2 cents.
