--- Comment #5 from Akseli Lahtinen <akselmo at akselmo.dev> ---
Ah, I see what you mean. I think I can sort of repro it.

1. Open home folder
2. Configure dolphin -> view -> remember display style for each folder, then
press ok
3. Adjust view display style for home folder
4. Set it to folders and subfolders, change view mode to something different,
then click on "set as default"
5. You get a popup that counts a lot of folders

How this system works is that in
`~/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/local/` we create folders for each
folder that has their settings changed. So it does this recursively until the
end of time because it keeps going to this folder as well, which should
practically be off-limits to these settings.

I think the solution is to disallow changing view properties in any folder
inside `~/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/local/` when running the "set
view properties" setting.
