--- Comment #68 from Iyán M. V. <m...@iyanmv.com> --- Some thought after reading a bit the source code. I think the issue might come from a bug in the logic of when to store settings, and when not. It should check if settings in that folder differ from the global ones, not the default ones from Dolphin. These are my global settings, saved by configuring Dolphin to "use common display style for all folders", modifying the settings to my like (i.e., details view, no previews) and then changing back to "remember display style for each folder" $ getfattr -d ~/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/global # file: home/iyan/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/global user.kde.fm.viewproperties#1="[Dolphin]\012PreviewsShown=false\012Timestamp=2025,2,6,22,18,9.49\012Version=4\012ViewMode=1\012" Since PreviewsShown=false there, I would expect that any directory with PreviewsShown=true should store this in the filesystem attributes or in the .directory file. Same goes for ViewMode. It should only be stored if it differs from ViewMode=1. What I noticed is that these global settings are ignored, and (I guess?) default's Dolphin ones are used instead. For example, if I changed ~/Pictures/Wallpapers to details view mode. $ getfattr -d Pictures/Wallpapers user.kde.fm.viewproperties#1="[Dolphin]\012PreviewsShown=false\012Timestamp=2025,2,6,22,48,53.577\012Version=4\012ViewMode=1\012" Notice that there are two things wrong here: PreviewsShown=false should not be saved, and ViewMode=1 should not be saved. If I enable previews, then $ getfattr -d Pictures/Wallpapers user.kde.fm.viewproperties#1="[Dolphin]\012Timestamp=2025,2,6,22,50,8.382\012Version=4\012ViewMode=1\012" Again, wrong, because PreviewsShown=true should be saved! And what happens when I changed both to Icons view and show previews? Bingo! $ getfattr -d Pictures/Wallpapers (Nothing!) When it should, instead, have saved both PreviewsShown=true and the view mode... In the source code, the attributes are deleted because boolean allDefault (line 534 in current master) gets set to true. Hope this helps someone more familiar with Dolphin source code. If I'm not wrong above (which maybe I am...), I don't understand why is so hard to reproduce the issue... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
