Bug ID: 523593
Summary: Dolphin always resets folder view to Icons when
changing directory (Details view is never preserved)
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 26.04.3
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: view-engine: details mode
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
Changing the folder view to Details works for the current folder only.
As soon as another folder is opened, Dolphin always switches back to Icons.
The selected view is never preserved.
The problem also affects Konqueror.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Dolphin.
2. Open any folder.
3. Select View → Details.
4. Open another folder.
OBSERVED RESULT
The new folder is always displayed in Icons view.
EXPECTED RESULT
The selected view (Details) should remain active when browsing other folders,
or at least the configured default view should be respected.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a
terminal window): Fedora KDE 44 (fully updated)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.28.0
Qt Version: 6.11.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I performed the following tests before reporting:
Removed ~/.config/dolphinrc
Removed ~/.local/share/dolphin
Removed ~/.local/state/dolphin
Let Dolphin recreate a fresh configuration
Cleared the user cache
Tested on a brand new folder
Tested in /tmp (local filesystem)
Tested with an NFS home directory
Forced GlobalViewProps=true
Used kwriteconfig6 to modify the configuration
Tested both Wayland and QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
Fully updated Fedora 44
The same behaviour occurs in Konqueror
None of the above changed the behaviour.
Changing to Details immediately updates the current folder, but navigating to
another folder always reverts to Icons.
No warnings or error messages are printed when Dolphin is started from a
terminal.
NOTES
This looks very similar to previous regressions around ViewProperties (for
example bug 495878), but the fixes for that issue are already present in
Dolphin 26.04.3.
This appears to be a different regression because the current folder changes
correctly to Details, but every newly opened folder is always initialized in
Icons view.
Since Konqueror shows exactly the same behaviour, the issue may be located in a
shared KIO/KParts/ViewProperties component rather than in Dolphin itself.
