[Bug 326582] Re: sort order of files listings in nautilus is not alphabetical

2018-11-03 Thread Lucio Crusca
Talk about zombies! This report is so old I couldn't even realize I was
the one who created it in the first place, until I read that information
above the comments.

I've now took the time to read all the comments again.

@Chris Billington: I really don't know what kind of drugs I was on when
I wrote my comments here, but now I wish I never wrote most of that
shit. Sebastien was absolutely right, this is not the place to discuss
such feature requests. At that time I used to use Ubuntu, and I recall I
was quite fed up with Gnome user experience. I can only guess I used the
wrong tool to let off steam. Ubuntu provided me with the right tool
shortly after when it switched to Unity, which led me to switch back to
Debian...

[Bug 326582] Re: sort order of files listings in nautilus is not alphabetical

2018-11-03 Thread Chris Billington
On major problem with this search order is that it conflicts with the
order of files in Nautilius in the non-search view.

In my home folder I have 'thesis' and 'tmp' subfolders, and they are
shown in that order. I type 't' expecting 'thesis' to be the first
result so that I can hit enter and navigate to the 'thesis' folder.
However 'tmp' comes up first because Nautilus's search view is sorting
by length before aphabetically, or something (not sure what the exact
algorithm is). This is one of the behaviours preventing the new search
interface from being used for keyboard navigation as a replacement for
the removed typeahead functionality.

[Bug 326582] Re: sort order of files listings in nautilus is not alphabetical

2010-10-04 Thread Alan Porter
A good example of the need to sort alphabetically, and not numerically.

I store a lot of bank statements in a folder.  They have names like
this:

20090215_monthly_statement.pdf
200903_first_quarter_summary.pdf
20090315_monthly_statement.pdf
20090415_monthly_statement.pdf
20090515_monthly_statement.pdf
200906_second_quarter_summary.pdf
20090615_monthly_statement.pdf

The current numerically-focused sorting algorithm places the summary
statements at the top of the list, followed by all of the monthly
statements.

It's not what I would have wanted.  But I also see that this is a heated
issue.  So I have found a work-around, which is to insert dashes in the
filenames, like this:

2009-02-15_monthly_statement.pdf
2009-03_first_quarter_summary.pdf
2009-03-15_monthly_statement.pdf
2009-04-15_monthly_statement.pdf
2009-05-15_monthly_statement.pdf
2009-06_second_quarter_summary.pdf
2009-06-15_monthly_statement.pdf

These filename are sorted in date order, as one would expect.

I also have similar problems with photos, which might live in folders
with names like these:

2010-04-25_maker_faire
2010-04_easter
2010-04_new_york
2010-04_spring_outing
2010-05
2010-05-09_mothers_day
2010-05-30_jordan_lake
2010-05_shuttle_launch

Again, the dashes do cause the directories to be sorted into proper
numerical / alphabetical / date order.  Without them, the events that
span several days (like the May shuttle launch) appear before the events
on a particular day (like Maker Faire in April).

I do hope that you guys can come to an agreement without alienating each
other.

That would be more than enough, I rarely use gconf-editor and it did not
come to my mind. It's the equivalent of the "Advanced" tab I proposed
above.

I'm not a gnome developer, but since the coders managed to implement
such complicated sorting rules like the current ones, that are full of
exceptions, I assume they are also able to code a much simpler method
that uses only a subset of those rules, right?

2009-02-07 Thread Matteo Settenvini
If you're not a developer, you're always free to set a bounty in money
for others to implement; that'll foster development. It seems to me that
people complaining mistake "free as in speech" for "free as in beer",
and also take for granted that, just because a community exists, they
have to abuse it giving little in change.

Quite a lot of GNOME contributors are volunteers. They deserve more
respect than be bullied around at every user request. If you really want
to discuss this issue, bring it up on the desktop-devel-l...@gnome.org.

Of course there are *always* someone asking for something that isn't
there. I've seen all sort of issues across bugzilla; some reasonable,
some not. The ability to set priority and tasks, and also the great
burden to say 'no' and disgruntle someone in the user base, is a painful
and too-often underestimated process: it takes time, effort, and even
the best diplomacy sometimes turns out to be wasted. This is very
discouraging. *A lot* of devs got so fed up at people *pretending*
things, that they now start ignoring them in the first place. This is
sad, of course; but the best way to avoid this happening surely isn't
being so vocal in the wrong place.

In the end, someone has to steer the wheel. The decision that has been
taken with nautilus has been the one most requested at the time of
implementation. Please also research bugs complaining about
lexicographical ordering, and MLs. Yours isn't a proof people want to
change implementation, just that there exist someone disgruntled (a
person, in the comment you pointed out, that hasn't been active in
bugzilla apart from that). Your reasoning is faulty there.

As a side note, try push a feature request like this up to, say,
Microsoft or Apple, since "Ubuntu will never be the OS for the masses".
Please keep us posted on their response. They tell me that even a phone
call is around 18€ in Microsoft. This kind of angst-driven comments
really makes me take the other side of the discussion, despite the
technical merits.

---

By the way, to stay more on this bug contents: if an implementation of
this really needs to be there, the right way in my opinion to have it is
by adding a new gconf key retaining current sorting behaviour by
default, but *not* adding a new UI element in the nautilus preferences
dialog.

Please note that lexicographical ordering is hard nevertheless in the
UTF-8 world.

2009-02-07 Thread Lucio Crusca
Last words I tell about this issue:

I should have tried to search this feature request on b.g.o before, but
now that I've searched, I can tell it's simply false that no one is
asking for it:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547350

In particular see comment #4.

Do you still believe no one would use this feature? Ok, take a look here
also:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169883

Still not convinced?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/322271
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574775

I could go on, but the truth is that *gnome developers* are not asking
for this feature (or should I say *glib developers* just to ease the
process of reporting bugs one step further?). Normal users do want it
instead. And there is a reason why I forgot to search through bug
reports in the first place: I come from Debian where I used to report
bugs through reportbug, which shows a list of already opened bugs on the
package, before starting the bug report. But someone told me that
reportbug it's not the bug reporting tool in Ubuntu and that apport-cli
is the replacement... except it does not show the already opened bugs,
but that's another story...

Thank you all for your unbiased opinions about this feature. Keep up the
good work and Ubuntu will become the O.S. for the masses. Dream on.

You're missing the point here, the problem it's not me. It's quite obvious that 
I can spend 2 minutes to register and report the issue upstream, but that two 
minutes and that extra registration are simply overkill for a normal user if he 
wants to ask for a new feature.

Because they are the maintainers.
I'm not asking for a lawyer to defend my interests, I'm suggesting a maintainer 
could file the bug upstream because maintainers are already registered onto the 
upstream BTS. The maintainer could simply file the bug with the same title it 
has here on launchpad, copy the URL to the launchpad bug in the bug 
description, add the original submitter email to the notifications list and 
remove himself if he wants, but he needs not to register on the BTS. That's an 
activity that takes at most 2 minutes because the maintainer is already 
registered at the upstream BTS.

>From that on, the original submitter will receive bug changes
notifications and can reply them by email.

> how would you call this option to be understandable though?
"Sorting" for example, followed by a list choice, including "Default" (the 
current one), "Alphabetical" and eventually others. I'm not native english 
speaker, nevertheless I find that quite understandable.

> they also learn that 11 is higher than 2 so why should it be listed between 1 
> and 2?
Because most files names do not represent numbers also when they are composed 
by numbers only. My first example should make it clear, in my case they are 
actually years and months (and sometimes days), not numbers. BTW, that scheme 
is used quite frequently by normal users who download their camera snapshots 
and organize them by date.

maybe others didn't bother to ask for it (one persone I know used to think it 
was a problem of its own setup and did not bother to file the bug, assuming it 
was caused by his own mistake).

>that was a typo, "un-usable",
what about an "advanced" tab that could be used to throw in all that geek 
stuff? I'm sure someone else already invented such a thing...

> you should better be doing that yourself in this case
As said above, I'm doing that myself. BTW, I don't know anything about the 
triager and how to use it, but if you expect normal users to collaborate and 
file bugs, you should widen your policies a bit and file bugs upstram on behalf 
of normal users also when you don't agree with them. That's called listening to 
users requests. Otherwise Ubuntu and Linux in general will remain a geek only 
system, regardless of all the fuss and philosophy around it.

IMHO, obviously.

@Sebastian:
"normal users" are not "stupid users", with few exceptions :)
"normal users" learn the alphabetical order at 6 y/o when they go to school, 
it's not that hard to understand...
"normal users" would certainly use such an option, just like they use other 
much less useful options for them, "date format" for example.
"normal users" already face things they do not understand (what about the 
option to show the "MIME type" column for example? Do you expect "normal users" 
to understand it?)
Finally, if adding such an option makes the system unstable, I've to say there 
must be a design flaw in the system itself... I'm sure even Microsoft could 
manage to add such an option to explorer without making it more unstable :)
 
I understand this should be filed upstream, but I used to hope that Launchpad 
served to forward bugs upstream when needed. Maybe my fault here.

nobody says that users are stupid, how would you call this option to be
understandable though? do you think that's really somebody users want to
have to choice rather than something that should just work? adding
options for every requests would mean having thousand of options listed
which wouldn't benefit anybody and complicate the dialogs

> "normal users" learn the alphabetical order at 6 y/o when they go to
school, it's not that hard to understand...

they also learn that 11 is higher than 2 so why should it be listed
between 1 and 2?

> "normal users" would certainly use such an option, just like they use

you are one of the first users to request for a such options in 5 years
of ubuntu, there is not so many users requesting for a such choice no
and the option would be there and complicate the dialog for everybody
else

> "normal users" already face things they do not understand (what about
the option to show the "MIME type" column for example? Do you expect
"normal users" to understand it?)

that's a good point and maybe that should not be an option, feel free to
open a bug to discuss that if you want

that was a typo, "un-usable", too many options means you have to spend
efforts to find anything

Launchpad served to forward bugs upstream when needed. Maybe my fault

you can use launchpad and the bug triager will forward bugs, that is not
a bug though but a change request, somebody who don't agree on the
usefulness of the change is not the best person to open the request or
argue upstream, you should better be doing that yourself in this case

So I've headed bugzilla.gnome.org, and guess what?

"

   1. Create an account

Damn, I already have an account on Launchpad, I've already filed the
bug, but I have to create another account just to copy and paste my wish
onto bugzilla, because Ubuntu Desktop maintainers refuse to forward
it...

Next time someone tells me that reporting bugs and suggestions helps the
community to improve the product, I'm afraid I'll find something better
to do in my spare time...

Now I'm going to file the bug upstream nevertheless, but I'm going to
file it on bugs.kde.org, at least I can tell myself I'm not wasting my
time. If Gnome developers want to see it, they'll have to come here and
read it.

I've just tried konqueror: version 3.5/debian uses alphabetical order,
version 4.1.4/intrepid (but not on kubuntu) behaves the same as
nautilus. I've no other versions to try. However I don't believe that
the behavior of any other piece of software, be it konqueror or others,
should be a reference point, 'cause in that case I could take 'ls' as a
reference point (or konqueror 3.5) and pretend nautilus behaves the
wrong way.

I think the reference point should be end users. I'm not a nautilus
developer, but I think that adding an option in the preferences panel to
change the sort order could make more people happy and it should not be
all that hassle...

However I'm not asking for a fix, but I'm asking for an option to be
added in the preferences panel. I'd have rated this bug as "whishlist"
if I could.

Anyway, I personally know at least two people except me who do not
expect this behavior, but they would expect a normal alphabetical
sorting...

Lucio.

[Bug 326582] Re: sort order of files listings in nautilus is not alphabetical

2009-02-07 Thread Matteo Settenvini
This was discussed years ago on the relevant mailing lists, and it was
chosen to be the intended behaviour. I don't think it will ever be
changed. Imagine saving a large number of screenshots, or using wget for
downloading some files:

for i in `seq 0 100`; do touch ${i}.txt; done

The current behaviour is what most users would expect.
If I recall correctly, also konqueror (now dolphin) behaves the same.
