Change Details

Show Detailed Tree View by default in KDirOperator. This primarily affects the file open/save dialogs, because other clients generally set their preferred view mode manually. This change will result in Open & Save dialogs displaying {nav Detailed Tree View} by default instead of {nav Simple View} (which is being transformed into a primarily visual view mode; see {T8552}). {nav Detailed Tree View} is better for content that is best located by its filename or metadata, which I would wager is more common. Also, bandwagon argument: Windows and GNOME both display the same view by default in their open/save dialogs now (macOS displays the navigation-friendly {Column View} by default, which sadly lacks a KDE equivalent).
