Hi, I've been using gnome3 for a year or more now. I can say I'm pretty OK with it but I hope it well get better and better in the next years.
But recently I discovered something which I really didn't find obvious and intuitive. I was searching a way for sorting items in Nautilus by their types so folders always come before files. This can be doable by clicking the down arrow icon next to the "View items as a grid" icon and selecting "By Type". BUT, if you're viewing items as a list, you don't have that option :) I think this is a very bad asymmetry as both options are symmetrical in terms of their functions but their "down icon" menus differ vastly. Then I thought that "OK so they didn't implement ordering for listed items, fine." for 6 months or so. Then I couldn't accept this (because it's easy and a very old feature actually) and tried google'ing. Bingo! I found that when you click "Nautilus" tab next to activities (when Nautilus is running) you actually have a bunch of things instead of a single "Quit" action that I encounter with firefox. There in preferences there's an option "sort folders before files". So finally I think that is a quite hidden place for a Preferences and other actions. Second think is that why there's some ordering options in nautilus's "down icon" menu for grid but nothing for "list view"?
