I didn't post the following remarks here because I wanted to find a
more appropriate forum, such as perhaps something like email@hidden
. I've looked and there's nothing, so ...
Now that I've experienced this View Option problem for three days, I
think I see the problem and the fix.
1. In Tiger, the View Options window had buttons at the top to let you
choose "This window only" or "All windows". The "All windows" option
was the way you set the defaults. It was very irritating, because I
would forget to choose "This window only" and change the defaults
without realizing it.
2. In Leopard, these buttons have been eliminated and the defaults are
assumed to be whatever you last set for a View Option. (Which is
usually wrong. Even more confusing, it took me 2 days to figure it out.)
3. In Leopard 10.5.3 or 10.5.4 or ..., someone will have come to their
senses and it will be done properly. In the FINDER PREFERENCES window
there will be a new pane, called "Views", where you can choose a
default view; and having three tabs named "Icon", "List", "Column" and
"Cover Flow" where you will set the default properties for each view.
And, these defaults never, never, never change unless changed via
Finder Preferences.
4. When the user changes a View Option for a folder window, it stays
that way until it's changed again.
(i.e. THERE IS NO "Always open ..." BUTTON IN THE VIEW OPTIONS WINDOW!)
If you know someone who can do something about this, pass it along.
I've got more ideas along this line, but until the very good
functionality of View Options in Tiger is restored, I would just be
spinning my wheels.
