15.4 - install dconf-editor to fix gtk3 file-chooser not sorting dirs first
All, One annoying wrinkle with gtk apps in 15.4 is the default file-chooser does not sort directories first leaving an alphabetical sorting with directories and files jumbled together. There is a fix (regardless of the desktop you use), install dconf-editor and then set: org->gtk->settings->file-chooser sort-directories-first True Now things look normal in the gtk file-chooser. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Yeah, I hate this file chooser. Especially that sorting.

Nice, many thanks! However, I just used gsettings because it was already installed here. :) $ gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first true Gruß Jan -- A conservative is a worshipper of dead radicals.

Hah! I didn't even think of using the old stand-by. Already installed here too. There is always more than one way to skin-the-cat in Linux :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

There is also a bug with the gtk file-chooser if it is used while you have a usb drive mounted and available through /run/media/you by UUID. The side-bar width is expanded to display the UUID and it will not shrink back after the drive is unmounted. Playing with gsettings: Check current width: $ gsettings get org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sidebar-width 304 Yuk! Fix it: $ gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sidebar-width 180 Back to normal! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

You got it backwards. gsettings is current glib interface, dconf is one of possible supported backends. Before dconf there was GConf, so you may confuse it with gsettings. There are other backends besides dconf, and gsettings will work transparently for any of them.
