How can I set all my desktops at once to "Folder View"? And is there a way to change the default view from "Default Desktop" to "Folder View"? I've already set "Virtual Desktops" to "different widgets for each desktop" since I want different backgrounds on different desktops.

I noticed the following when experimenting with a single desktop. The relevant files appear to be ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktoprc and ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc. In the following, the files with the .old extension represent "Default Desktop" mode; the files without an extension represent "Folder View" mode.
The numbers in the square brackets increased by one each time I made a change. Perhaps useful to begin your own investigations.Code:steve@t520:~/.kde/share/config$ [B]diff --suppress-common-lines --side-by-side plasma-desktop-appletsrc.old plasma-desktop-appletsrc[/B] [Containments][24] | [Containments][25] plugin=desktop | plugin=folderview [Containments][24][ToolBox] | [Containments][25][ToolBox] [Containments][24][Wallpaper][image] | [Containments][25][Wallpaper][image] steve@t520:~/.kde/share/config$ [B]diff --suppress-common-lines --side-by-side plasma-desktoprc.old plasma-desktoprc[/B] 24=3 | 25=3

Wonder if this would work:
You should be able to revert back withCode:kquitapp plasma-desktop cp ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc.backup sed -i 's/plugin=desktop/plugin=folderview/' ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc plasma-desktop
Code:kquitapp plasma-desktop cp ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc.backup ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc plasma-desktop
Don't think the number is important as long as they match and do not conflict with other containments (the increment is probably the result of the live change).Originally posted by SteveRiley View PostComment
