[Bug 878939] Re: Nautilus resets to "Icons" view whenever I change directory

 

What value do you have in gconf-editor for
/apps/nautilus/preferences/default_folder_viewer?

The .convert has:
default-folder-viewer = /apps/nautilus/preferences/default_folder_viewer

so the value should have been converted on the first session start after
update...

** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)

Title:
  default_folder_viewer not correctly migrated?

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've always been using the "List" view in Nautilus. Since Oneiric
  however, the view reverts to "Icons" whenever I change directory.

  System:
  * Ubuntu Oneiric amd64
  * Nautilus version 1:3.2.0-0ubuntu5

  Steps to reproduce:
  * Launch Nautilus by clicking "Home Folder" in the launcher
  * Set view to "List" (CTRL-2)
  * Double-click on the "Desktop" folder

  Expected:
  * The "Desktop" folder opens in "List" view

  What happens instead:
  * The "Desktop" folder opens in "Icons" view

  Observations:
  * Once you set "List" view, Nautilus remembers it, but _only_ for that folder! For every new folder, it falls back to "Icons" view. I want "List" view as default...
