Not to mention that it's an obnoxious and incompetent design. Look at the fact that Mac OS litters every other computer it visits with turds, for its own (and in fact only one user's) benefit. It's doubly stupid because the next browsing Mac that comes along trounces the previous one's turd.

If Apple wanted to store view settings for remote volumes (or even local volumes), the competent design would have been to store them locally (and per user) in a central location on the machine doing the browsing.

I remember the promised re-write of Finder and thought it never happened. Nothing seems to have improved for the user. I could post a list of decades-old defects that persist today.

The one thing I can think of that has finally been fixed (and this was long after the "rewrite") was that you can now finally sort the file list properly: with folders at the top.

Now I wish someone would explain something that might actually be worse than DS-turds: the presence of a "Contents" subdirectory in every goddamned Apple package. I mean... who thought you needed to create a directory called "Contents" to hold the contents of the parent directory? It's mind-boggling.
