4. I can't set some folders to use icon view and some to use list view, etc. When I switch in one folder, it changes the view for every folder on the computer (as well as on an external drive).
In one of the myriad reviews, it said that that's the way it's supposed to work. The Finder will show every subsequent folder using the view type that was used with the last folder you viewed.
If you want specific folders to open in specific views, you need to set them individually and check the "Always open in" checkbox. Unless somebody writes a script or app to set this for multiple folders, it will be a repetitive chore.
FTFF is a lost cause. Apple doesn't care about the spatial Finder concepts old Mac users know and like. It's either adapt to the new way, or go away.
