The reason this is important to you is that you were complaining that when you use the "Show View Options" menu, the dialog that appears does not have an "Always open in ..." line, despite several people telling you it should be there.
I am perhaps the only guilty party who raised the
“Always open in ___ view†spectre, but in my defense it was because the topic had
drifted off the desktop momentarily, when grelber mentioned
this:
I have noticed that rather weird behavior, namely of opening a folder and having it display in a manner not of my choosing, over and over again. I set it in icon view, mutz around with other files, sometimes in list, sometimes in column view, and go back to the first folder to find it in some other view.
Very annoying, to say the least.
Since i don't have Lion, i can't dispute his belief that the Action menu (gear icon) and the main menubar are offering different View options... but somehow the confusion seems contagious.
