Dolphin does not save appearance settings

[guenter_alzinger]

First I verified in “Dolphin settings-View” : radio button checked: use style for all folders.

Then I changed “Further or Additional (I’ve the german version) - View - modify view style”.

View mode: I select details

View setting: show preview: I unchecked.

After OK view changed as expected.

I closed dolphin, opened again, and the previous view was used, i.e. using previews and symbols.

What I’m doing wrong? What must I do? Can I help somehow?

Best Regards

You did click apply, right?

how to set the views globally for all directories/folders, i.e. they all should have the same appearance: no preview, details, ..?

Open 1 single folder. Set it’s view settings to your liking. Then While that is open and set go to Dolphin’s settings and set the below to “Use common display style for all folders” and click apply. [Screenshot_20260426_013337]

In which folder ?
What is your Dolphin version ?

This works for me for ~/Downloads with Dolphin 26.04.

You can use the following command to see what settings for the folder for key user.kde.fm.viewproperties#1:

getfattr --dump ~/folder
