re: if I click on a category and then go back to “View All” it displays only the names.
The “View All” link is working as it should… it should be list of all the entries in the directory. If you do not wish to use that link, you can turn it off in the settings. This can disabled on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab in the Result List Actions section.
re: Is it possible to have it always display the entries as they appear in the screen shot?
Yes, that is the default view of the directory. You will only ever see the names as a list on the View All page which as explained, the link can be turned off.
Hope that helps!
ps. The initial error you experienced I was able to find and fix with the aid of another user who experienced it too. I hope to release updates to both Connections and the Enhanced Categories extension which fixes the issue. When you see the updates in the admin, you’ll be able to safely update.
