[Bug 69168] Re: konqueror file manager loses chosen view setting

[Anthony Mercatante]

I wouldn't call that a bug in fact.
The point is that konqueror's based on kparts.

Browsing files uses a kpart, and browsing images uses another kpart.
When you change the view to "detailled", this isn't set to become the default, and will just stay "detailled" during your kpart session.
When you open an image, you "unload" the file browsing kpart and load the gwenview part.
Then, when clicking "up" you just re-load the file browsing kpart, and therefore reloading the configuration of it, which is still "icons" and not "detailled"

This shouldn't be consider a bug as long as you consider that konqueror
is not a file browser, bug a plugin reader, which, logically, reloads a
plugin configuration when the plugin is loaded.

Fixing this would be super complex in the code, as this means let
konqueror cache dynamically the configuration of your plugin as long as
not closed.

This, I'm sorry, will never be done, especially since KDE3 is now
unmaintained
