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.
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:
Code: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
