Parent Details View - Subfolders Thumbnails View

Hi, this should be easy, but I can't seem to figure it out.

How do I set a parent folder "C:\Photos" to details view, but all of its (and future) subfolders ("C:\Photos\2025") to thumbnails view #3, etc.?

You create two folder view settings

01.
The first while being in C:\Photos with details view
You'll leave all settings of the folder view as default

02.
The second while being in a subfolder of C:\Photos\... with thumbnail view
And in the manage dialog for that one you'll change the path to:
C:\Photos\*
and tick
[x] Include subfolders

Thanks again, highend! It works like a champ. And now, I think I understand Folder View Settings!
