Store your app's configuration, including per-folder view options, in a centralized store -- either ~/.dreamfm/ or ~/Library/Application Support/ Dream File Man

Store your app's configuration, including per-folder view options, in a centralized store -- either ~/.dreamfm/ or ~/Library/Application Support/ Dream File Manager/ In the same view options configuration window, have a checkbox option to make the configuration portable along with the files, in which case write it out to .DS_Store or a similar file, to be used as a local override à la .htaccess Explaining this option succinctly may be a challenge but not impossible. Maybe "Save view options with folder" with a hover tooltip explaining that this would enable the view options to remain the same across user accounts and computers.

Thank your for your thoughts. This is more or less how I see it too in general. > Maybe "Save view options with folder" I like it, it's not only 'view options' though, as you understand. Many '.DS_Store' files are already there for many folders and I have to deal with them while compare sizes etc. Right now they are copied because I do not think FM should be invasive in your data as a general principle. But some option along the lines of "Copy meta data too" I think is reasonable way to deal with them.
