Description Christian Muehlhaeuser 2012-11-21 21:34:20 UTC 
If I navigate to a directory that has a .directory file inside which is neither readable nor writable by the current user, Dolphin fails to successfully switch between view modes: you can click and toggle the view-mode button, but the mode never gets shown. Once I make the file read & writable, Dolphin can immediately switch between view modes again.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a directory's .directory file non readable & non writable to the current user.
2. Navigate to this directory.
3. Try to switch to a new view mode inside Dolphin.
Actual Results:  
The button gets toggled / activated, but the view mode never changes.

Expected Results:  
Expected behavior: Even if Dolphin can't store the new view mode setting in a .directory file, it should still succeed switching between modes.
