How to make the "Image View" the default view instead of "List View"

How can the “Image view” made the default view for the records of a doctype?

Instead of the list, it should be the image based view:

Please apply a custom/client script for the listview.

frappe.listview_settings['Your DocType Name'].onload = function(listview) {
    window.location.href = "/app/your-doctype-name/view/image";
};

If the apply script then you can’t use listview.
If you are comfortable with it then use it.

Thank You!

Simpler option on v14.

Doctype/Customize form > “View settings” > Set “Default view”

Thank you for your answer. It is what i was hoping for to find. However, i don’t have it available. What i’m missing?

It was implemented on v14.13

Works fine on all older versions and the user is able to switch back.
You could also do

window.location.href = window.location.href.replace("/List", "/Image");

Hi, I am not getting “Gantt” as an option in the “Default View” select field. Is anyone else facing this problem?

Because the Gantt option is not in the Default View option and the feature is not developed yet.

Thank You!
