Description Steve Cossette 2024-01-29 16:47:24 UTC

Problem: In dolphin, if you set a filter on a specific column in a specific folder, Dolphin will not retain your preference next time it is started.

Steps to reproduce:
1- Open Dolphin, go in any folder.
2- Click on a column to sort by said column.
3- Close, and reopen Dolphin
4- Go back to that folder.

The filter you set should have reverted back.

(NOTE: This bug does not occur on the "File Picker" dialogs in apps, that one retains the settings you set as far as filters go.)

Is Dolphin in per-folder sorting mode, or global sorting mode? You can see in its config dialog.

Comment 3 Steve Cossette 2024-01-29 22:21:42 UTC

It's set to "Use common display style for all folders", I swear it was set to remember display style for each folder though...

Comment 4 Steve Cossette 2024-01-29 22:34:55 UTC

I found something interesting.

If I go in a folder and click on the "Modified" column to sort, and restart dolphin, it will not remember the settings.

BUT, if I do the same sorting, but using the Right Click -> Sort By -> Modified and relaunch Dolphin, THEN it remembers.
