Another solution
What seems like a good solution to me is to do something similiar to the .DS_Store files, but much more cleanly. Let all view information be stored in a .DS_Store file that is located in the highest directory in which you have write access, or if you have a home directory on the disk, to somewhere in your prefs folder. Then when a directory or file is copied to another disk, that information can be merged rather easily into the appropriate .DS_Store on the other disk. To find the view info, just traverse the directory tree to the root and use the first .DS_Store relevant.
Another solution
what happens if it is a shared volume that can be accessed at several different points in the directory hierarchy, ie a users home folder?
Another solution
This all depends on the user using Finder. Most (not all) of the Finder-set settings in the .DS_Store files are retained whether I move the folder in Path Finder or in the terminal. But if there is no *real* file in a folder, then unless i use the finder to move it ALL my settings are lost for that folder. |
