Hello, I'm unclear what the problem is. Is that there are not enough mime-types for your liking so sorting by mime type mix them? Then definitely they should be added as a standard. We don't really work with extensions (except for some specific cases).
This sort by extension sounds more like a workaround for not enough mime types. Cheers, Carlos Soriano ----- Original Message ----- | First off, thank you all for developing all this. I know what time and | effort this all costs and therefor I appreciate any work put into such a | project like this. | | That being said, I want to know if there is a way to enable "sort by | extension" feature for Nautilus. | If there is already an option for this, I'm sorry for my | elaborationsbelow , but after digging a while I'm pretty convinced that | I would have found it already if existing. | | Now, before starting to harass me with "we don't need another make Linux | to Windows topic", which seems to be the only obvious reason for me why | such a programming wise extremely simple feature isn't implemented yet, | let me explain why and what for this makes sense: | In a perfect Linux world one may be happy with mime type detection or | type, granted. Reality however is, if people like me, who are forced to | work in both worlds, a missing feature like this is extremely work flow | blocking and absolutely annoying. Different filetypes are mixed because | they are assumed to be the same mime type. If need to copy out files | from my Windows/Linux cross project, I have mix ups between .ini, .map | files, between .dll and .so, .ilk and .bsc and and and. I guess I could | compile a list with dozens of examples. I fully agree that Linux is not | windows and I don't want the Desktop of my choice to be "windows'ed", | but such a feature is really an essential addition if one has the | requirement to work with windows files or who needs to have interactions | between both OS. | | | Anyway, thanks for your time, | Smirftsch | -- | nautilus-list mailing list | nautilus-list@gnome.org | https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list | -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
