Feature description

Remember display mode of channel groups in subscription tab.

Why do you want this feature?

One could prefer grid view to list view with a lot of channel groups to avoid the need to scroll the screen to access all the groups.

Additional information

Alternative solution: #9387

#8605 / #9204 added new view to channel groups - list view. It's OK and there is still the option to switch between grid and list. However, the selection is not remembered and always fall back to list.

I did search for duplicates / similar issues. The is single one that mentions this in passing (#9387 (comment)) but it only states that it follows app setting. But if I select "use grid" then it will display What's new tab also in grid view (2 columns), which is not desirable thus I don't think it applies.

I do like new grid implementation of categories in subscriptions tab (wrapped view, no need to scroll) but it's not available by default with current functionality/settings.

If there is another FR / bug for this particular issue, or something that would see this implemented then could you please point im to the right direction so I would be able to follow that issue? :-)

If you mention the related issue/possible duplicate, it at least lets us know that you did the search.

@SameenAhnaf The underlying problem is the same, but this is a different solution, so we can keep this open.

@opusforlife2 my bad, I'll try to be more explicit next time :-)
