I'm still struggling with this, as follows:
When I open a new directory with Konqueror, it frequently comes up in 'Icon
View' rather than 'Text View'. I've tried changing and saving view
profiles,
and looking through every configuration file I can find to see why.
I'm baffled. Does anyone have any ideas?
And, as a possibly related question, in 'Settings' what do
Remove Folder Properties
and
Save View Changes Per Folder
Actually do (and mean, come to that)?
cheers

exactly what they say they do
eg if you have a folder with pictures and you want that folder to
display thumbnails you can click save view per folder and only that
folder will display that way rather than them all
remove sets that folder back to defaults

OK, that makes sense. But where are the defaults?

What I believe I did to make settings stick is:
- on a folder icon, right click -> Properties
- click on the "Edit File Type" icon besides "Type: dir"
- click on "Embedding" tab
- in the list "Service Preference Order" put your favoured view to the top of
the list, hit ok to confirm
I hope it helps. I can't remember if I did anything else, but I *think* that's
it.

Open your filemanagement profile (might be labled File Management for
you) but the file, is contained in
/home/YourUser/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/profiles/filemanagement
Set it up the way you want.
Then save the filemanager profile.
Its the key profile.
Good luck

I've tried that, and I've looked there, but I can't see any default 'Icon
View' or 'Text View' entries.
PS Sorry about the bottom post.
More explanation please?

This seems to work! Even if it is highly non-obvious. I'll report back if it
stops...
Thanks
