Segregation in Nautilus
June 24th, 2006 | Published in oh hell
Does anyone else out there get annoyed that Nautilus makes a distinction between files and folders when sorting items in a window and won’t intersperse the two, instead sorting folders and then sorting files separately? Why the distinction?
If I say “sort these items by name”, where in there do I express any desire to sort by type, then by name?
Update: Just as I was thinking of writing a patch to fix this behavior, I went and looked through the Nautilus preferences one last time. Lo and behold, there on Views tab is a “Sort folders before files” option. Uncheck and voila.
