[Konqueror]Set Default View mode for removable media?

I wanted to ask how to set Default View mode for removable media:

I have set the default profiles of konqueror (file manager, web, etc) to use the "Tree view".

Every time I use a removable media (pen drive/data cd-dvd), whether with the auto open, or if I open it from the desktop, it opens it with the "Icon view". And even worst, after setting to Tree mode, every time I move to a folder inside the pendrive I get again the Icon view.

I have even created a new profile "removable" (where I set tree mode) and set ivman to use that profile:

Source code

 
1

<ivm:Option name="exec" value="MOUNT=$hal.block.device$; kfmclient openProfile removable media:/${MOUNT#/*/}" />
But it stills open it as "Icon view".

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mguel

PS: a work around would be use a .directory file. I have read that in the .directory file you can set the view mode, although I haven't been able to find info on how to do it. And the draw back is that it's just a workaround, and would work with my pendrive, and every time I insert another pendrive I'll have the same problem again.

Same problem here.
This damn "icon view" brings my whole system down to its knees.
And I can not find a way to disable nor change the default setting.

Thanx for all your help.

Try this: in any folder, right click and select Properties. Next to "Type: Folder" you will see a button with a configuration icon on it. Click that to get the options for viewing Folders. Under "Embedding" you will see the complete list of KParts available that are capable of showing Folders, with konq_iconview on top. Find konq_detailedlistview and move it to the first position.
