[TW] Different file/folder sort order in GTK and KDE
I am running Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma. I have noticed that KDE apps sort folders above files, which I like, whereas GTK apps sort everything alphanumerically. Is there a way to make GTK apps sort folders above files? Bob -- Bob Williams No HTML please. Plain text preferred. https://useplaintext.email/

I have done this before and forgotten. Google to the rescue: "make gtk sort folders before files" and you see tons of answers ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Ah. Thank you Carlos. For anyone else wanting the solution, download and install dconf-editor. Run it and then go to org->gtk->settings->file-chooser, then activate the option sort-directories-first. It works! -- Bob Williams No HTML please. Plain text preferred. https://useplaintext.email/

Or, without the need for the GUI app, fire up a terminal and type in: gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first true Cheers, -- Atri Bhattacharya <badshah400>
