Description abcdefz 2010-07-02 10:39:03 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Hey there!  I'm having trouble with view modes too, but I've narrowed it down, view modes seem to act funny when you're working with a VFAT filesystem.  It can't remember a folders view mode even within the SAME SESSION.  No matter how many times you click "View">>"View Mode">>"Icons", (and it DOES redraw the screen properly, at first), if you leave that directory and come back to it IMMEDIATELY, the thing has reverted to Detail Mode.

It's a pain.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
On a VFAT mounted fs, while using Dolphin to rove around, no matter how many times you click "View">>"View Mode">>"Icons", (and it DOES redraw the screen properly, at first), if you leave that directory and come back to it IMMEDIATELY, the thing has reverted to Detail Mode.

The exact same thing seems to happen in Konqueror 4.4.4...
Comment 2 Peter Penz 2010-07-02 10:57:34 UTC 
@David: Dolphin tries to remember the view properties in the folder for local writable folders (see constructor of http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/apps/dolphin/src/viewproperties.cpp?view=markup).

Might it be that with VFAT the following code:
    if (url.isLocalFile()) {
        m_filePath = url.toLocalFile();
        const QFileInfo info(m_filePath);
        if (!info.isWritable()) {
            m_filePath = destinationDir("local") + m_filePath;
        }
    }

indicates that the folder is local + writeable, but saving with
    KStandardDirs::makeDir(m_filePath);
    m_node->writeConfig();
fails?

Hmm, I've a kind of deja-vu - didn't we discuss this already once? ;-)
