    No. You cannot and will not shame me for something that is not shame worthy. Shame on you for trying.No good intuitive way to set defaults for ALL folders at once

    You should be extra ashamed for not being ashamed and additionally shamed for taking this so seriously that you feel it necessary to attempt to shame someone who cheekily said you should be ashamed.

    Do tell oh wise one. I’ve been using MacOS for over 15 years, and would love to learn the ways of a master such as yourself

    Let me ChatGPT that for you without giving a shit how this formats, followed by more shame for relaxing your struggle with things because you lack the gumption to figure these things out in your own despite 15 years of use.

    1. Open a Finder Window

    Pick any folder (usually your Home folder is a good starting point).

    ⸻

    1. Set the View You Want • Choose your preferred view style: • Icons: ⌘1 • List: ⌘2 • Columns: ⌘3 • Gallery: ⌘4

    Then adjust things like: • Column widths • Sorting / Arrange by • Sidebar visibility • Preview pane visibility

    ⸻

    1. Apply with “Show View Options”
      1. With the folder open, press ⌘J (or go to View → Show View Options).
      2. At the bottom of the panel, you’ll see: • Use as Defaults (for List, Icon, or Gallery views) • Always open in … view
      3. Click Use as Defaults → this sets your chosen view/layout for all folders of that type.
