Thunar does not remember/persist directory view settings

Hi,

According to these two tickets:
- https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/8
- https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/418

I understand that Thunar should be able to remember view settings for different directories/folders, but I can't seem to get this to work. When I change the view settings, e.g. from List/Detail to Thumbnail view, the setting persists for all directories. I can't get the settings to stay on a per-folder basis.

What am I missing?

I'm using Thunar 4.16.8.

Thanks for any help.

Hello and welcome.

Have you enabled Edit > Preferences > Display tab > Remember view settings for each folder?
