Description Hep Smoreson 2002-04-17 09:08:34 UTC
Package: nautilus
Severity: enhancement
Version: 1.1.12
Synopsis: right alignment of file names for Arabic
Bugzilla-Product: nautilus
Bugzilla-Component: View as List

Description:
It would be really nice to be able to align filenames in Nautilus' list
view to the right.
This is much more readable when the file names are in languages that
write from the right to the left (Arabic, Hebrew and others).

Ideally this option would be on a per-directory basis, so exoticly and
ordinary named files can coexist on one system without the need to
toggle the alignment manually all the time.

An advanced version would probably have three options: left, right,
auto-detect

The next step could be to add support for even more exotic languages
that write vertically...

Thanks for your bug report!
I disagree that this should be toggled on a directory basis. It seems to work
correctly when using a hebrew locale, i.e. the whole interface is mirrored
including the file names which are right-aligned.

Do you suggest that if in an LTR locale we encounter RTL strings, they should be
right-aligned as well?
