SUMMARY Feature Request not a bug. Currently you can customize the look and feel of dolphin very well, like icon view, zoom size in PX, sorting modes and default starting folder. If you change the sorting method it will remember this setting next time you start dolphin. Could I request a way in which once you customize you default setup, there is a menu setting to allow this to be remembered and not overwritten and always start in this customized setting when a new dolphin window, split, or tab is opened. I know you can set remember display style for each folder, but that does not achieve the same effect, ie I change the view to sort on age, when I go back into the same folder it would remember to sort on age. But I would prefer a default of sort on name and type for everything when in a new session of dolphin. I also know you can customize the default folder which is also great but does cover this request. I did discuss this in the discuss forum https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-to-set-default-dolphin-view-on-new-window/4862/8 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. apply settings in dolphin view on how you want it to be in default Icon, Compact or details Sort on X and ascend/descend Zoom size 2. navigate to a new folder make a change to the view 3. close dolphin 4. its remembered this view and not your default preferred view. OBSERVED RESULT Always adopt last know view settings EXPECTED RESULT On opening a new dolphin session, tab or split view it picks a previously decided look and feel.

This would be really useful
Doing testing for another issue, I see the ability to set defaults has been implemented as of Dolphin 24.12.1 If you have Settings -> View -> Remember Display style for each folder set Then when you go to View -> Adjust view display style you will see a checkbox for "Use as default view settings"
