Sort of. It wasn't even designed to show more than one directory at once. Now 
that I changed this, I forgot to think about the directories' settings :-}

No, it won't, I'd simply add something like

  class KDirListerPrivate::Settings {
    bool showDotFiles;
    bool dirOnlyMode;
    bool autoUpdate; // well, maybe not...
  };
  QDict<KURL, Settings> KDirListerPrivate::settings;

and adapt the KDirLister Code. Note, KDirLister is completely independent from 
KDirListerCache in this regard, and KDirLister is small, codewise ;-)

Just a "political" problem: do we want a KDirLister, that can list directories 
with different settings or do we want one KDirLister for every directory/tree 
view with different settings? I don't have a strong opinion on that one, so 
just tell me (although I'd favor to make KDirLister multi-settings aware).
