Description Jakub Steiner 2012-08-16 15:40:44 UTC 
We now have a nicely exposed view mode toggle on the toolbar. When traversing the hierarchy it feels wring the view changes. I think it makes more sense to relate the view mode to the window rather than the folder/location.

Since this is now a per view option.

This one is a total head-scratcher, how can you guys think having the same view when browsing documents, pictures and downloads is helpful?

I also think that remember view setting per folder increases the utility of a file manager. For example, I prefer having my Downloads folder viewed as a list sorted by date and my picture folders viewed as big icons. An option for having Nautilus remember view settings per folder instead of per window, would be great. There is a bug report relating to this problem here https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683802
