[dolphin] [Bug 495878] Customizing the default view settings doesn't work anymore

--- Comment #62 from Méven <meven at kde.org> ---
To shed some light, affected people could you run and report the results of
commands :

getfattr -d ~/Documents

And generally the folder concerned, after you have set non-default settings,
and after you load the folder and reproduce the issue.
The command may return nothing and that would be informative.

And

getfattr -d ~/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/global
cat ~/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/global/.directory

When you have changed the default settings (that's where they are stored).
The .directory file isn't supposed to be present.

I will probably add verbose traces to dolphin, so that after a future release
we will have more to work with.

> I'm a little concerned how this issue is so hard to reproduce, as I am using essentially stock KDE with stock Dolphin. I have done nothing special whatsoever and I have only modified the settings listed in this issue. All other settings are default

Don't be, as you have seen this requires some unknown conditions for the bug to
manifest. The fact that you have a fresh install and most people aren't has
probably to do with it or at least partly.
Be patient please and diligent please, I am very much frustrated be assured.
