Not to mention the whole argument of where you should put that config file. In
theory config files should not under any cirtumstance have identifiable
information in them. So do you put it in ~/.config or ~/.local/share ? I'm not
against per-folder settings being an options but not the default under any
circumstance. If I set the view mode to details or icons I want it everywhere.
Though in my case I almost always use details view, as it's way more useful.
Especially if you name your files properly you would never need the icons view.
