GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 341034
Always sort by name desktop icons
Last modified: 2007-12-30 11:57:55 UTC
Hello, Desktop contextual menu have an item "Clean Up By Name". As it is grouped with "Keep Aligned", i thought it was too a check item. I think such feature are useful if nautilus *always* keep icons sorted by name. (similar to Finder behavior on Mac OS X on desktop). I suggest to have a /apps/nautilus/default/use_manual_layout option. If set to true, behaviour is like the current one. If set to false, then icons are sorted by name with devices (local, then distant), then folder, then files. Thank you. Étienne. PS: do not think i wish nautilus clones the Finder. I hate the Finder behaviour as a browser, but i like the possibility to have icons automatically placed.
