I Hate My MacBook

I want all my folders everywhere to be in column view, sorted by Kind and Name. Nope. You can't set that for the whole system.

And this drives me nuts :)

You can. Cmd+J will let you choose defaults system wide. This will be overruled if there are local settings manually selected for a specific folder.

If you want to force system wide view settings in finder, delete all DS_Store files and then do the thing with cmd+j

Officially that’s true, but I’ve been running OSX since at least .8, and in practice it just does not honour the “I want all finder windows like this” ideal.

Cmd+J never worked for me system wide. Tough it looks like it may be working in the latest Catalina versions.
