Finder Default View Setting..?

[spetznatz]

According to what I've seen on here, I should be able to set defaults from the View Options (cmd-J) panel... there should be a 'Set as default' button, but there's nothing...

It doesn't matter which window I choose, there's never a 'Set Defaults' button... have they moved it..? TIA...

I had the use as defaults button showing yesterday, and I’m sure I had more options than what’s showing there for you. What happens if you switch the Finder window from column to list view then bring up the view options? I was in list view myself so wonder if the column view has a bug here.

Good call... yes, 'Use as Defaults' appears when I switch to list view... but I exclusively use Column View...

So frustrating...

Hopefully they’ll fix it with the next beta. They’ve had some issues with the defaults in Finder in previous betas where it wasn’t applying the default settings so must be some gremlins in there still.
