Screenshot of nautilus and GTK file chooser (182.38 KB, image/png)

Description Mike Williamson 2006-10-01 16:48:44 UTC 
At the moment, Nautilus shows any hidden files or folders after ordinary (i.e. non-hidden) files or folders. This is the opposite to the GTK file chooser, which sorts hidden stuff before everything else. As such, to create a more consistent user interface, I believe that the Nautilus behaviour should be changed to match the GTK file chooser.

Thanks

See bug 337622, which suggests this is a gtk+ (2.8.x only?) bug and nautilus is correct...
Comment 2 Mike Williamson 2007-04-09 15:39:53 UTC 
Still true on Foresight 1.1 (GNOME 2.18, GTK+ 2.10)

I also have this issue in the latest Ubuntu 12.04. It can easily be seen when choosing a file using Gimp.

IMHO, I disagree with the OP though, in that I believe the ordering of nautilus  is more preferable than that of the GTK file chooser.

Show regular folders before hidden folders.

Bug 587040 is a duplicate of this one. Given that bug 587040 has a richer discussion, let's track this issue there instead.
