I have (I thought) konqueror configured to show me the detailed listing
of directories. It mostly works, but if I hit the "up" arrow to go to a
parent directory, it suddenly switches to icons instead of the detailed
list (even
if
I was in the parent before, in detailed list
view, and then went to a
child directory, and then hit "up").
How can I stop this from happening?

What's up Doc
Your mission, should you decide to accept it...
Ok go to konqueror, settings, file associations, inode, directory.
Just to be complete for anyone who finds this later while trying to solve
the same problem, that is actually:
konqueror | Settings | Configure Konqueror | File Associations | inode |
directory
Click on embedded and them move Detailed List
View to the top.
Amazing!!
How did anyone ever discover that?
I have been using KDE/TDE since 2001, with konqueror as my file manager in
all that time, and this was news to me (unless I knew long ago and
completely forgot it, which is, I have to admit, unfortunately, a
possibility).
I personally use Tree View same thing but gives
you the ability to open
directories without having to click into them.
Do the above for both directory and system_directory
Hit apply, then ok, then close out all konq sessions and give it ago.
All seems to work. Perfect! Made my day :-)
Remember that, if you save a profile with icons
or another kind of it, it
will default to how you saved.
Yes, I sort-of-vaguely understand how profiles work. Although since all I
ever really use konqueror for is managing files, I generally don't have to
mess with them. But thank you for the reminder.

Fortunately, it failed to self-destruct, so I had time to read it a couple
of times :-) I even had time to tag it red in Thunderbird, in case I ever
need to look up how to do this.

I think it was either Ali of BigDaddy fame, or Slavek of just being famous or
both who told me.I'm just relaying the info with comedic style.
This, good people, was just a group effort.
Proof, once again, of the open collective's power.
