I too would like to know if you can set a different default folder view for folder portal fences.

This for me mainly applies when you a viewing (in a folder portal) a folder which contains further folders.  If you doubleclick on a folder the portal displays the classic icons view of that folder even if the original folder was using some other view.  It would be good if either the view was the same as before or a settable default other than classic icons.

+2..... I would like to set all portals to have details view AS DEFAULT for portal and all subfolders. I currently have to change it via the menu every time i navigate to a new folder.

Did this feature ever get created? It is so annoying to have to set it at every folder level.
