Description Ronny Schoebel 2004-08-17 12:26:17 UTC
Description of Problem:

Since upgrading to nautilus 2.7.2, the file
manager no longer repsects its default view
setting. On my system nautilus is set to display
folders in icon view. After selecting "View as
icons" from the menu the setting sticks for this
folder. But every other folder still opens with
apotheke. Nautilus 2.7.4 exhibits the same
behaviour. What I just noticed is that folders now
even use the compact layout by default, though I
don't know if this is a feature or a bug....

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Leave all nautilus settings as they are by default.
2. Open a folder that you never opened before.
3. Stare at the apotheke-view (or icon-view with
compact layout if apotheke not installed)

Actual Results:

The folders open in the apotheke-view if it is
installed. If not, they open in icon view using
compact layout.

Expected Results:

Folders open in Icon view.

How often does this happen? 

Always.

Additional Information:

This can also happen when you install gthumb : the "catalog view" from gthumb
becomes the default and every new folder opens in this view.

I think this bug has been fixed with this checkin (from 2004-08-23) :

* src/nautilus-main.c:
Make default component for folders just use the gconf setting instead of
the short list (which is essentially random). Remove component picking for
non-folders. Remove unused code.

I guess we should wait for the next release of nautilus and see if the problem
is fixed...

yeah, it should work now.
