--- Comment #1 from Felix Ernst <felixernst at kde.org> ---
I totally agree that saving all folder view properties in a local folder would
be preferable. AFAIK we actually have a consensus among Dolphin contributors
that we would want this as a default behaviour if it were to be implemented
correctly. Unfortunately implementing this correctly is somewhat difficult. You
see, if we don't save the .directory files within the folders but at a local
location, renaming or moving of a folder would make us lose the view properties
for this folder. You might be interested in this discussion:
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/288#note_368581

If anyone is able to implement this correctly, their contributions would be
very very welcome. It would also allow us to to enable specially fitted view
modes for special views like recent files and search or the trash folder by
default.
