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.

This email will self-destuct in five seconds.
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.
