Moving the logic to use .directory files into kio?

I like the idea :)

Should we then add a "file manager" kcm as well? So that the
user can configure the usage of global/local view settings - see
settings -> general -> behavior. (would also make sense for
other options, like sorting)

Thoughts?

Great idea, +1
