SUMMARY In dolphin application, the trash bin is stuck on 'details view mode'. Anytime I try to change it to 'icons view mode', it will switch to it, but the moment I leave the trash bin and come back to it, it has reverted to 'details view mode'. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to trash bin in dolphin. 2. Switch to 'icons view mode'. 3. Leave the trash bin and come back to it. OBSERVED RESULT You will notice the view mode has switched back to 'details view mode'. EXPECTED RESULT It should remain in 'icons view mode'. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: NixOS 25.05 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2
I'm not able to reproduce this on Dolphin 24.12.2 or built from git-master Can you share a screenshot of the window for Dolphin Settings - View - General? Thanks

TL;DR not a bug Hit that also. The change identified is basically this https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/fdf854bd8#dba23e4b6d552f8b3ebd4fbeefe32879ccf724c4_95_159 Previous behaviour ignored useGlobalViewProps in case there were a custom setup. Now, it is not ignored and always override potential local changes. (So, simple reproducer is to to turn on useGlobalViewProps and look into special locations which will have the special setup instead of previously customized ones). OTOH, it now does what is written as a help in configuration dialog (which is a bit counterintuitive to "random clicking" in UI which persists selected display mode except special folders which are always overriden by pre-defined settings). I think that there are two options: a) Leave it as it is (with potential user confusion) (I'm preferring this variant) b) Don't use any special settings for special directories and let them behave according to useGlobalViewProps. c) Use special settings for special directories but save them on first encounter. In following accesses they could always behave by saved values regardless of useGlobalViewProps setting. It would ensure that they have senseful defaults but don't ignore user changing the view in UI. d) ?
