Comment 6 for bug 291565

I have the problem, too, with trunk (kdebase rev. 816127). If I remove the .directory.lock file by hand (which I can do as the same user as dolphin runs on cifs), dolphin unfreezes and changes the settings. I guess it should a) not freeze on any view mode changes and at least timeout and b) should work in default here. But this is only my 2 pence. I hope you fix it somehow.

Cheers,
