Description

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.6 (Ubuntu-feisty) Build Identifier:

Currently it is not possible to make a particular directory to remember view settings. For example if my default view settings are View as compact list but I want some directories to display files as icons I cannot do it. Could be quite useful for dirs with images and so on.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open Thunar
  2. Enter any directory and change view
  3. Leave the directory and see that all other directories have the new view settings

Actual Results:
All other directories have the new view settings

Expected Results:
There should be an option to have settings are changed only for this particular directory while other dirs retain the default settings set in the Preferences.
