Separate View per Platform Category in BigBox

BigBox currently allows remembering a separate view for each platform, but this does not extend to platform categories. Add an option such as “Remember Separate View for Each Platform Category”, or make the existing setting global as “Remember Separate View”.

This would allow different views for Platforms, Playlists, and other categories. It solves common layout issues, for example vertical wheels that look bad when a category only contains a few items.

This feature would give theme creators and users much better control over presentation depending on the content type.

Here’s an example with my upcoming version of the Slipstream theme.
