Sort by Type

Greetings,

I'm not sure if this should be classed as a bug or not, but I'd like
to bring it up. Nautilus allows you to set the default file sorting
according to "Name", "Type" and a couple of others I don't care about.

I prefer to sort by type, however when I select a file in this mode is
has a habit of jumping to another position, which repeats as I select
other files.

I'm guessing when I select a file, Nautilus gets the file type in more
depth, and so rearranged the file accordingly.

Just pointing this annoyance out,
Raeth

Unfortunately, it does not work as expected. Double-clicking on the
separator returns to the default size (16 or 32 characters?) and not to
the "best fit" which would match the longest file name in most cases.

Oops, forgot to follow-up. Indeed, you're right.

Shortly after my post Kjartan pinged me on IRC, and we found out some
details. Turns out the double-click makes GTK+ (?) set the width to some
default value. On the 2.14.x I had available at the time of the post
this indeed is "best fit", as in no file name is cropped. On later
versions the default is not the same, thus double-clicking will not
resize to best fit, but to the default...

Is there a gconf key to change the default behaviour?

The only way to get the old behaviour back is to disable ellipsation in
the treeview. I don't think there is a way to get the old behaviour when
ellipsation is on. I think this is pretty weird, so maybe it can be
fixed in Gtk+.

where's the "copying files" icon stored?

Hi,

When you copy some files in nautilus you get a progress window with a
specific icon, like the screenshot I attached.

The idea is really good as it gives a hint of how much is left without
even having to look at the window, but the icon looks a bit
old-fashioned. I'd like to make a new one, so could you tell me where
the current icon is stored so I can take a look at it and do some work
on it?

Thanks,

David.

It's actually coded in
./libnautilus-private/nautilus-file-operations-progress.[ch]
and
./libnautilus-private/nautilus-file-operations-progress-icons.h

Re: Two performance bugs

Hi Ravi,

I also want to get involved with the code and did some searching for 
resources for my Summer of Code application.

If you download the source, there are some documents in the "docs" 
folder you may find useful.

~/Desktop/nautilus-2.18.0.1/docs $ ls
architecture.txt          Makefile.in             recommended-books.html
dnd.txt                   nautilus.faq            smoketests.html
key_mouse_navigation.txt  nautilus-internals.pdf  state-machines.txt
load-states.dia           nautilus-internals.sxw  style-guide.html
Makefile.am               nautilus-io.txt

I'm not sure how up-to-date everything is, but the 
nautilus-internals.pdf by Alexander Larson was quite informative.

Also, check out: http://live.gnome.org/Nautilus

I think it's more up-to-date than the project page 
(http://www.gnome.org/projects/nautilus/).

Haven't actually dove in to the code yet.  (Still working on finishing 
the last couple weeks of school.)

Hope that helps.

Steve
