Hello, i have a problem with my finder and i think i have it since installing version 2.5.6 today.

It seems that the icon/detail view are not stored in the right way. I can't describe it very well, i put a video here.

Has anyone this issue too? I also have disabled the Add-on for preview and quickview in macos settings, but it is the same. Also a restart of MacOS does not help. 

If i change vom detail view to symbol view, it stores the view for all folders when i click in the sidebar. If i click around, it changes the view for all entries, if there is stored setting for a folder (difficult to explain in english, sorry;) ).  If i close the Finder window and open it again, it works for the first view (then, the saved view of the first folder is fine).

Please can someone look if he has the same problem? What can i do? Has affinity broken my Macos (or is it just a strange coincidence)???? 

If it is a bug, i hope that a fix don´t needs month like for Finder Preview working again. 

 

Anyway, i hope i am only paranoid;)

I tried this in terminal:

find . -name ".DS_Store" -delete

Then i set detail view to default for all folders in MacOS. It feels better now, but i can not say if it is right or not. All folders which have not own saved view settings takes the view (detail or symbol) from the last folder i clicked. Is this the right behavior of MacOS, or a Bug? I never had this problem so i thought it may be the updated preview function in Affinity... but maybe it is a MacOS Design or Bug ;)? It would be nice if you click around in your folders and write if it feels right or like in the video above.

 

Thanks!!!!

EDIT:

I learned that is a normal behavior of MacOS, so not an Affinity problem. It seems, that i am only paranoid. Maybe i saw this only the first time and it was a "feature" before ;) ? Anyway, thanks for looking into your system if it feels different or not. Then i can sleep again...

This is just the way macOS works. macOS remembers the view settings for each folder and is not an issue with Affinity. You can set all folders to open in a certain way with View > Show View Options and then click Use As Defaults. You don't need to use Terminal for this.
