2. set different view modes (i e right view in icons view, left one in detailed list 
3. try to navigate in both views

view remembers its mode and stays in it until closed

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.18.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
i see that this bug is a duplicate of the one from 2012 but it looks like its forgotten, and i guess really a lot of people would like the "expected result" behaviour. If i get some adviŅes (at least what src file should i look into) i would like to try to implement this myself

I forgot to mention that
1) it applies not only to split views but also to tabs
2) it applies not only to view modes but also to sorting methods (sort by name, modified date...)

usually i work with just view mode 4 and folders are sorted by name, just sometimes i need to sort them by modification date or change view to 1 in one dir for 1 time, but then i have to change it back in all the tabs i have opened. temporary fix i found so far is 
`chattr +i ~/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/global/.directory`
this fixes current sorting method, view mode and some other parameters allowing you to change them in your current directory in just one tab, but it resets to fixed parameters as soon as you change dir or refresh tab, and it never influences other tabs which is kind of a desired behaviour for me. might be useful for someone even thou its a dirty hack. `chattr -i` to revert
