OS X View Options

[simX]

I've been using OS X for a while now, and there's been one thing bugging me.. it's the View Options! I'm changing all my views to have bigger icons (they're just so dang beautiful and lickable! ), but I have to do them all manually!! Even though I have a global setting, almost all of them are not using it since they've been created WAY before I ever installed OS X.

So this is my question: is there some way that I can "copy" these settings to all enclosing folders, like you can with priveleges? Or is there some way to force all folders use the global settings, and then I can change certain folders to individual settings on a case-by-case basis?

Any solution will work -- I'm willing to jump into the terminal (I do it quite a lot), so if you have ANY way to do besides doing it manually, don't hesitate to suggest ANYTHING.

Thanks for any help.

In Finder preferences on 10.1, there is a checkbox that reads "Keep windows view the same when opening other folders in the window".
This wasn't in 10.4, and I was quite happy to see it in the upgrade. Hope this is what you want!

Well, that kinda helped... but kinda not.

I never thought to look in the preferences of the Finder (silly me), but now that I can have the toolbar open AND all windows open in a new window, I have the same problem again... the global view options are still not used by all folders (they're only forced to when using the same window), and I have to change them manually.

By the way, where'd you get 10.4? Did you go to the future to get it?
