First off, I apologize for my wording; no offense intended.

Second, the issue has gotten derailed because I was (mis)interpreting "Always open in xxx view" to mean that there was a list of choices for xxx, which I see now (after having just "played" with different folder view settings), of course, there isn't; as you said, the choice is always given for the folder view which presents itself.

Knowing that, all the stars come into alignment (ie, it is easy to deal with the issue). Indeed, I was missing something obvious. So many thanks.
