Finder window positions and view options not preserved
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2016 1:26 pm
I've been using OpenZFS for a few months and it has been working very well for the most part. However, I did just notice one odd thing. The Finder window positions and view options (e.g. text size, visible columns) for some folders are not being preserved between logins. It seems that if folders had custom view options or window positions when I initially copied them over to the zfs filesystem from my old drive (using Carbon Copy Cloner) the custom settings were preserved. However, if I create a new folder or copy a folder from another (HFS) volume with custom settings, these settings are not preserved after I logout and the folders open in default view. Also, if I change any settings on the older folders that I initially copied over to the zfs file system, these will revert to the initial (custom) settings after I logout. I noticed that .DS_Store files are not being created or modified on my zfs filesystem in any folders. I observed this issue on OSX 10.9 and it has persisted after I recently upgraded to OSX 10.11. Is this a known issue or something I am doing incorrectly? Thanks.
