Public bug reported: OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS Release: 22.04
In Ubuntu 22.04 Nautilus > Preferences you have "Expandable Folders in List View" If you activate the "Tree" option, the arrow in front of the folders will be present even for empty folders. The arrow should only be present before folders when the parent directory is not empty, but it is always present, which causes a lot of confusion. What's the trick to expanding an empty folder? I use Nemo as File Manager on another laptop and the arrow before the folder is only present if that folder is not empty. Which also makes sense! A few days ago I posted this issue (including screenshots) on AskUbuntu and other users confirmed that it's a BUG, as it is reproduced to them too: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1454724/arrow-before-folders-when-you- enable-expandability-in-the-list-view-to-be-visib ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/2007998 Title: Arrow before folders when you enable expandability in the list view, to be visible only if subfolders or files are present in the parent folder Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS Release: 22.04 In Ubuntu 22.04 Nautilus > Preferences you have "Expandable Folders in List View" If you activate the "Tree" option, the arrow in front of the folders will be present even for empty folders.
