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.
