Snow Leopard Glitch: No Default View Options

[danielmbcutler]

if your a programmer why cant you just go into the terminal and modify the settings yourself?

this is one of the most annoying things of the mac ... and one of the many things that i really really miss from windows

I figured it out but It did not help. I found that if you open up your finder window and do not use the side bar, the folders will open as you have set them to. If I use the side bar they will not. So if i navigate to my movies folder, the folders in "movies" will open as i have set. If i open movies from the side bar and then select the folder I want, they won't open as i have set

I have been having the same issue and it's driving me nuts. I too am very particular about my view b/c I am finder folders constantly.

[kstinky]

open your finder but do not use the sidebar. This works for me. if i open "my pictures" located in the "pictures" file, it will open in icon view as I have set it to if I open my finder in column view then find "pictures" under my home folder. If I open pictures up from my side bar, it will not open in icon view.

can you explain in more detail please. will doing this resolve this issue. Apple care has told me that my hard drive must be bad and I need new one.

[kstinky]

has anyone found a resolution to this. it is driving me nuts

So funny when I realised that issue and had to spend more than 30 mins to adjust size and grid to "Most Visited" folders. We are being so "Maniac" in organising our OS environment and that's thank to Apple. But I guess they missed the point on this one. 10.6.2 at the moment and hopefully they'll fix that on the next update!

guys any solution? I hate this view thing...

[Nanotech11]

This has been driving me nuts too, very frustrating. I wish that when they revamped the finder they would fix small bugs like these.

I noticed this too, but it seems for me that the "Use as default" option works for that specfic folder; so if you change the size of the icons in that folder and then go back to it it changes back to what you clicked as default. I haven't had it change out of my default though. Hopefully 10.6.1 changes these little things that pop up after a new OS comes out.
