Leopard Folder Viewing Sucks

In Mac OS X Tiger:

1. Open a Finder window and navigate to a folder of your choice.
2. Change the view of the folder from Icon to List (assuming default is Icon view).
3. Close the window, open a new Finder window, then navigate to the folder you changed.
4. Notice that the Finder opened in the default Icon view, but the folder you changed is still in List view, as it remembers the change you made.

In Mac OS X Leopard:

1. Open a Finder window and navigate to a folder of your choice.
2. Change the view of the folder from Icon to List (assuming default is Icon view).
3. Close the window, open a new Finder window.
4. Note that the fucking Finder is now been set to List view as default!

This is painfully annoying. In order to set a folder to be in a specific view you have to open up the folder’s view options (View->Show View Options) and check the box at the top that locks the folder in a specific view.

I don’t have an advanced degree in user interface design or nuthin’, but doesn’t the Tiger behavior, you know, make sense? Cause the Leopard way seems totally moronic.

You know who frequently breaks functionality in new OS versions? Microsoft. Apparently superfluous use of transparency in inappropriate places is not the only thing Apple’s ripped-off adopted from Windows Vista.
