Different view when inside a folder
When using the new library experience, my customers are facing this issue with views per folder.
The setup is mostly like; Using a document library with several folders for security reasons. The 'All Items' view is used to display the folders at the library root level. When the customer opens a folder, an other view should be shown at that time.
In the classic experience this configuration can be made by configuring an additional view which is shown in folders of content type 'Folder'.
Using the modern library, this doesn't work anymore unless switching to the classic experience.

Hi all, a newer feedback post has been created here:
https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/34688932-different-type-of-view-in-sharepoint-document-librIt would be great if everyone could go and vote for this one also. I've had a Support Engineer send me a link to the new post and acknowledge that this is a limitation of the modern UI.

Such an important feature in encouraging the use of meta data in a document library. Sometimes you just have to use folders for security reasons, so we need to be able to have different views at the top level of the library and then within these folders. Please fix ASAP!

Is this going to work in the modern library?
Any other option to create a default view for a sub folder from a specified content type? -

IMHO this is a BUG.
It is an OOTB feature, it works in the classis experience and not in the new layout. Please, fix it. :) -

Please add the functionality. And if not, please deactivate the view setting as it doesn't have any effect.
