Description crystalmv13 2025-03-20 14:12:35 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I try to use the "Remember display style for each folder" setting, but then try to change the default display style setting to Details, Dolphin still uses Icons unless a .directory is present.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Configure > Configure Dolphin > View > Remember display style for each folder
2. Open More > View > Adjust View Display Style
3. Set View mode to Details, and check "Use as default view settings"
4. Create a new folder and enter it

OBSERVED RESULT
A .directory file is created in the directory. When entering the new folder, it still uses Icons view.

EXPECTED RESULT
No .directory file should be created for this action. Instead, as it was before, Dolphin should use Details view whenever a .directory file is not present, and only create one when the desired view differs from the default.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
