May be a OS related, i have no problem on linux os...
(In reply to comment #1) > May be a OS related, i have no problem on linux os... I don't have any problem on Linux either, it only happens in Windows, maybe I should add [kde-windows] to window specific bugs?
@Aqeel: it is already windows specific (see assigned to: KDE-Windows). Also the bug is not as easy: If I do this on the Home directory it works (click Preview in the home dir, click on C: to switch to that dir, click on Home button to go back - the Preview is still enabled.) If I do this instead on C:\kde (I have to enter that in the location bar), it doesn't work anymore.
@Patrick Actually I was just commenting on Asen's comment. Is there anything I can do to help with narrowing down the problem?
Problem still exists in KDE 4.8 with Dolphin 2.0. I tried changing directory view, it also doesn't work anywhere except for Home directory, is it possible that dolphin is not applying view setting for any directory outside home?
I too encountered this in a fresh Windows install of 4.8. I thought it might be a problem with permissions (because my first install attempt failed durung unpacking), so I gave the user full access to c:\Program Files\KDE where KDE was installed. After that, Dolphin behaved as expected.
