Hi - I wasn't able to reproduce the issue you're seeing with those steps - it is strange that you're seeing .directory files getting created at all on a Btrfs filesystem, though. Just to check, is the path where you're creating that folder definitely on that same volume? If you change the view settings of a previously existing folder, does a .directory file get created and/or updated? Thanks!

Hi John, you're right -- I mostly work on a mounted drive using rclone, but the issue is not reproducible working with my local filesystem. I apologize for not considering that. However, I'm not sure then why Dolphin listens to a different default display style when in the mounted drive as opposed to my local filesystem. I'm fine with using a couple .directory files there, but most of them shouldn't differ from my default details display style. Thanks for the info - hmm, just curious, if you perform the Adjust View Display Style > Details > Use as default view settings steps while navigated to a path on that rclone filesystem (as opposed to a path on your local device's filesystem), does that change anything? Just checking if there's some possibility that a different set of defaults is perhaps being used for filesystems that seem to not support extended attributes?

Of course -- yes, I've usually done these steps on the rclone filesystem, and I just tried it again. It still uses Icons as the default there, unfortunately. I am getting this issue where random directories decide to ignore the default setting. Right after I follow the steps in the parent post here, I go to another directory and it's back to showing icons without any explanation. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 496448 *** This doesn't look like a duplicate of bug 496448. That bug is about "Use common display style" not setting a common display style This bug is about "Remember display style for each folder" not doing that. The steps to reproduce are different, and there's a remote filesystem involved. I'm also not able to reproduce this on Linux, with Dolphin built from git-master or Dolphin 25.12.1 |
