Hi
I would like every new Finder window to be always in list mode, alphabetically, no matter if I accidentally switch to "icon" or "Cover Flow" in a previous instance.
I believed this preference was stored into ".DS_Store" files, but it seems to me it is not.
(I use 10.12.5)
I just deleted every DS_Store file:
sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -exec rm {} \;
but still my "Finder" remembers which folder I last looked at with "list" mode or with "icon" mode.
Also, if I look to the modification time of a DS_Store file, then it is not changed even if I switch to "icon" from "list".
And the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file is not modified as well.
So I wonder: where is the preference about "list" vs "icon" stored? When I google for it, first results say it is in DS_Store, but it is not imho.
Thanks in advance
