STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Press View > Adjust View Display Style... 2. Change anything and press OK. The view updates with the applied changes. 3. Navigate to another folder. OBSERVED RESULT The previously applied options do not persist. EXPECTED RESULT The options should persist just as they do when changing them in other areas (such as the View menu, toolbar, etc.) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Dolphin: 26.07.70 Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Linux 2026-04-30 KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.26.0 Qt Version: 6.11.0
Apologies, I forgot to remove the comment at the top of the template.
not sure if it's the same bug, but i just upgraded from opensuse leap 15.6 to 16.0 which comes with dolphin 25.04.3 on kde frameworks 6.16.0 and i have a similar bug: i cannot disable grouping and have folders first at the same time in the detail view .. it always resets
I'm not able to reproduce this on Dolphin built from git-master (26.04.1)

I'm not able to reproduce this with Dolphin 26.07.70. For people affected by this, can you confirm if you have this set? Settings -> View -> Remember display style for each folder I see the described behavior with that *not* set, but with that set, I see the expected behavior.
Yes,I can confirm,it is fixed with the remember option activated,thank you so much!

i already have the remember view setting on. This is my situation: Default view settings: * Name ascending * no grouping * folders first when i navigate to the home folder, I get: * Modified descending * grouping on * folders not first when I change my view settings similar to the default ones, the view looks fine. Except, when i go into a subfolder and go back, my changes on the view are not remembered, so I get again grouping on Modified Even after changing the settings through the View Display Style dialog, even though the home folder then looks okay in Dolphin, if I reopen the dialog immediately after, I notice it did not remember my settings. I looked for a `.directory` file, but there is none. It is kind of logical since I just configured the Default view settings manually (so no `.directory` file needed). The home folder is a mounted ext4 partition. If i disable grouping and enable folders first, it does remember the setting, but it's still sorted Modified descending. As soon as I change that to Name ascending, it's broken again (reverts to enabling grouping, disabling folders first, Modified descending)
i forgot to mention: If i disable folder grouping and sort by Name ascending, but leave the "folders first" setting untouched, it also works. It's the combination of all 3 that never works..

This depends on your view-settings mode global or per-folder. In global mode, I don't think there is an issue In pre-folder mode, in the dialog for the settings to be the default or be applied recursively from the current folder they are toggles at the bottom of the dialog in the "Apply to" section. Notably "Use as default settings" Did you pay attention to this ? Knowing this, does it change anything to your situation ?
yes, i'm aware of the default settings and how to set them
