Created attachment 175097 [details]
the issue itself.

SUMMARY
when having to upload files, or open files from any app, the file selection dialog doesn't keep my preferences and I have to always press the show thumbnails button to be able to see the thumbnails of my pictures. this may be a misconfiguration of my session, as it seems that it doesn't happen on a clean install of plasma. I welcome any fix for this. do note that it didn't happen on plasma 5.x.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open any app
2. try to upload a file or open a file to bring the file picker dialog
3. dialog doesn't remember last settings, forcing me to click the show thumbnails button

OBSERVED RESULT
just as I said.

EXPECTED RESULT

dialog remembers my settings and always show thumbnails of my pictures, no action required.

Cannot reproduce with current git master. Any chance you can attach a screen recording that shows the issue happening, i.e. it not remembering changed settings when you open the dialog for a second time?

after some research, I ended fixing it by editing kdeglobals config file. see this for reference.
