GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 315390
icon view and reversed order behaviour
Last modified: 2005-09-06 22:32:53 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have a folder with some files and some folders. Some of both the files and the folders have an emblem (same emblem on all). I also have "Sort folders before files" enabled in the nautilus preferences. Then I use "Arrange items" in the folder and set it to "By Emblems" and "Reversed Order". Steps to reproduce: Actual results: This displays the files without emblems first, the files with emblems second, the folders without emblems third and the folderd with emblems last. Expected results: Since I thought the global nautilus setting of "Sort folders before files" should take precedence I expected the behaviour to be: Folders without emblems first, folders with emblems second, files without emblems third and files with emblems last. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: Maybe others feel that the way now is the correct way, but with the current behavior the reversed sorting order of all the sorting types is unusable if you want the folders before the files always. And it makes the preference setting of "Sort folders before files" meaningless if you have a reversed order.
