Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
First of all, sorry for my English but I really would like to suggest. Currently, Nautilus file browser will "reorder" the items whenever the contents of the folder changes. However, I would like to suggest that this feature should be left off, as it causes too much usability problems. The reason is that the item position should not be unnecessarily changed because the user is likely to working on the contents of the folder. Reordering will be confusing in many cases. For example, if I copy 5 files into name-ordered view, all copied files will be spread into its position and some might not be visible. I'm then not so sure that I have copied 5 files already or not. The reordering also causing this bugs http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336955 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/79351 I appreciate hard work of Gnome developer, but I think this feature is not necessary and should be removed. I would like to suggest that reordering should occur only when 1. Opening folder 2. Refreshing folder 3.
