            Bug ID: 501798
           Summary: Default view display style settings are not being
                    respected
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.12.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: crystalmv13 at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When I try to use the "Remember display style for each folder" setting, but
then try to change the default display style setting to Details, Dolphin still
uses Icons unless a .directory is present.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Configure > Configure Dolphin > View > Remember display style for each
folder
2. Open More > View > Adjust View Display Style
3. Set View mode to Details, and check "Use as default view settings"
4. Create a new folder and enter it

OBSERVED RESULT
A .directory file is created in the directory. When entering the new folder, it
still uses Icons view.

EXPECTED RESULT
No .directory file should be created for this action. Instead, as it was
before, Dolphin should use Details view whenever a .directory file is not
present, and only create one when the desired view differs from the default.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250316 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In case it is important to know, my drive is formatted with Btrfs.
Possibly related to #495878. Version 24.12.3 fixed the bug for them but not for
me.
