And of about twenty users I asked about this change, none found it useful or good, and some have seriously questioned the sanity of people who decided on this. This clearly is a regression, as GTK+ isn't used by just GNOME, and no other environments have implemented such change, so it's very unreasonable to have different settings just in GTK+ 3 applications outside of GNOME 3. > Whether or not you prefer "directories first", this seems fairly > clearly a matter of preference, and the setting still exists, so I > think "for proper operation" is overstating the severity. Mixing files and directories distracts users and makes finding needed directories and files significantly slower, so I disagree it's overstating. -- Cheers, Andrew
