And that nautilus verifies this whenever I reenter the same directory (thus remembering what I chose before)? In that case this should / could be done in persistence (maybe it is already, i did not verify) - not through a setting which would be proper to Tails and differ from upstream. We do not ever want to have such delta with upstream.
