2017 and this STILL exists??? I have a bunch of files for my TRS80 Color Computer (For DriveWire) and I need to sort out the CAS, DSK and ROM Files. Those are the extensions.
Here's a small sample and I have "Sort by type" selected... Wildcatting (1981)(Tandy)[26-3067].rom Zaxxon (1983)(Tandy)[26-3062].cas Zaxxon (1983)(Tandy)[26-3062].rom Zone Runner (1987)(Tandy)[26-3286].dsk I tried the steps to include "MIME Type" but those are sorted as "application/octet-stream". I just need to have .cas files with .cas files, ditto for .rom files and .dsk files. How is this not useful? I'm in agreement with #4. I swear the GNOME people are trying to dumb down Linux users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/13319 Title: nautilus should sort by extensions Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: In Warty I have a folder with tons of still pics, bmp and jpg, and a few WMV video files. Normally when I sort them by type, all the video files are put the bottom, which make sit easy to find them. Now with Hoary, it doesn't work anymore, the WMV files are in the middle of all the bmp and jpg files, it's a pain to find them :o( I think Warty used the file extension to sort the files, hence "WMV" came after "bmp" then "jpg". But it looks like Hoary uses the "MIME" (?) description. "bmp" is called "Windows BMP image" and "WMV" is called "Microsfot WMV video". "Windows" comes after "Microsoft", and here you go, the video files end up lost in the middle of all the other image types :-/ Is there a way to change the sorting mechanism/method back to what it used to be ? Or is it configurable somewhere ? http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168663: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168663 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/13319/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
