Hi! Dolphin allows you to set the size of icons in two sections: by default and in the preview. Suppose I set the default size to 32 pixels, go to one directory, where I have to enlarge the icons, enlarge them, then close the Dolphin program. When you open the application, the icons do not have the default size of 32 pixels, but have the size of the folder in which I had to enlarge. I think Dolphin should use the size of the icons from the default section and restore the size of the icons to 32 pixels. This is how Nemo behaves. BTW - I use the selected option "Use shared view properties for all directories" To return the error: - start doplhin, enter the settings, view mode, detailed, set the default eg 32 pixels. - enter into general behavior and check the Use common properties views for all directories option - apply changes - enter any directory, enlarge the icons and close the dolphin - restart the dolphin. Everywhere the icons are bigger.

Hello and thanks for your detailed bug report. The problem with this change would be that it would cause another bug: If a user wanted to use the slider to make all icons permanently bigger, this would not work because after a restart all changes would be gone. It is interesting to know that Nemo does apply this behavior, but I am not sure if it'd be a good change for Dolphin. Is there a specific use case where this problem couldn't simply be resolved by using "Remember properties for each folder" instead? That'd be great to know. Thanks!

From previous environment, I'm taught that all folders must have the same size of icons for me. I noticed an interesting ailment while testing. I have the option "Remember the view properties for each folder", but when I enter, for example, in the paintings catalog, enlarge icons, close the dolphin, I still have enlarged icons everywhere, not only in the images folder. I still have a question, what is the default slider in the settings -> view mode? When I move it, nothing changes, even after restarting the program. I forgot to add that I have switched on the double panel view.
Julian, does comment #2 provide the requested information? Please set the bug status or add a comment.
Yes, thanks for the additional information @GratisLPG. I am still not convinced that this would be a good change (IMHO it'd only make the behavior less intuitive), but as I am not really a Dolphin developer I'll leave this decision to the people who are.
