I wasn't saying that any particular config option should be
removed. Instead I intended to express a bit of frustration
at my feeling that it seems to be getting to the point where
almost *ANY* thing that I can click on (menu, list, column,
folder, item, icon, widget, etc.) seems to have its own
private config that secretly overrides the default, common
config (if any) for that item.
For the current discussion, I've no quarrel with view modes.
However, it is much more obvious (to me, at least) to have a
global option to have either (A) All folders use the same
view mode or (B) all folders use their last selected view
mode. The additional step of [externally] selecting a view
mode and then applying it to a folder seems completely
counter-intuitive when there's a very clear menu item to
choose the view mode available. I've committed these same
types of errors in my own software, so I know how easy it is
to imagine that the user will grasp all of these conflicting
options ... and I, too, have been wrong about that EVERY TIME.
