 |
|
Being a long time KDE user, I'm starting to learn the ins and outs of Gnome. Is there a way to have file icons in Nautilus sorted in a case insensitive manner?

But they are - aren't they?
Hmm... perhaps it's your locale setting? |

I don't think so, but you can try filing a bug report requesting it.
I do think it is important to remember what case sensitive sorting is used for in *nix. Case sensitivity is there so important files are placed at the top of the list. That is why whe have "Changelog" "Makefile", "CVS" and "README" rather than "changelog" "makefile", "cvs" and "readme". It's not to bold them, it's to put them at the top of the list.

to fix this crappy sorting for all programs put the following in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile or /etc/profile :-
or whatever your native language is, otherwise it defaults to something like LANG=POSIX |

F I J K M a b c d e g h l n o p
13:33:16 /home/Brian/test $ LANG=en_US ls
a b c d e F g h I J K l M n o p |

That was it. I never set this before, as KDE had a setting that took care of the sorting issue.
I added "export LANG=en_US" to /etc/profile, and that fixed this.
