Description Pascal Korz 2009-01-28 17:09:57 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

Dolphin can save current view settings (are previews enabled?, etc.). This doesn't work for my external HDD with its FAT-filesystem: While for example my home folder and even a mounted CD/DVD remember those settings, the external HDD does not.
Comment 1 Peter Penz 2009-01-28 18:33:35 UTC 
Could you please post the URL of your FAT-filesystem here? You can achieve this by right clicking on the "breadcrumb" (= location bar), selecting 'Copy' and pasting it into this bug report. Thanks!
Comment 2 Pascal Korz 2009-01-29 13:36:25 UTC 
Sure, that would be file:///media/LaCie.

Mabye it has nothing to do with the filesystem, this is just the only difference to other media I've plugged in/inserted I can think of.

I would have checked if it worked with a another filesystem, but I own only one external HDD.
Comment 3 Peter Penz 2009-01-31 13:29:08 UTC 
I've added David to CC, maybe knows more about the possible root cause. I need to check this myself first be getting an external FAT HDD, so that I can debug this...

Comment 5 Frank Reininghaus 2009-03-21 11:37:22 UTC 
The reporter of bug 187773 noted that the view mode is remembered for NTFS partitions, but not for FAT. I can confirm this with 4.2.1 and trunk using my (internal) hard drive.
Comment 6 Unknown 2009-03-26 21:01:59 UTC 
I can also confirm this in kde 4.2.1 dolphin 1.2.1 of kubuntu jaunty.
It doesn't remember the folder view settings of my fat formatted external usb hard drive (even though remember view properties is chosen in dolphin settings).
Comment 7 Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-04-24 10:40:03 UTC 
Reproducible on trunk revision 958058.
Comment 8 Miro Hadzhiev 2009-09-10 00:26:15 UTC 
The same here - SUSE 11.2 (Factory), KDE 4.3.1, Dolphin 1.3.

Comment 10 Kolia 2010-09-05 16:55:10 UTC 
Problem still exists in KDE 4.5.1.
Comment 11 Matthias Fuchs 2011-05-29 00:37:19 UTC 
I was not able to reproduce this with KDE 4.6.3, Qt 4.7.3 and a USB stick formated to fat32. Could you please retry?

Comment 13 Matthias Fuchs 2011-05-29 00:40:52 UTC 
At BUG:243414 especially comment #2 is of interest if this still is a problem.
So please also try to reproduce with a newer version.

Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
Comment 15 Jekyll Wu 2012-08-24 20:15:13 UTC 
Can't reproduce it using KDE SC 4.9 . Mark it as fixed.
