Reported upstream in Gnome bugzilla as #709818 This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 810518 [details] Screenshot of inconsistently-sorted filename list in Nautilus Description of problem: There's something weird about how Nautilus sorts same-named files with different extensions. When the filename changes, the order of sorting EXTENSIONS can reverse itself. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-3.8.2-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always? Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open folder containing appropriate set of files 2. Switch to List view 3. Sort list by Name Actual results: A list of files, sorted inconsistently. Expected results: Sanity. Additional info: To save you needing to look at the screenshot, consider the following directory of files, sensibly ordered in the output of 'ls -1': 003.part 003.part.met 003.part.met.bak 005.part 005.part.met 005.part.met.bak 006.part 006.part.met 006.part.met.bak 006.part.met.seeds 009.part 009.part.met 009.part.met.bak 010.part 010.part.met 010.part.met.bak In Nautilus, the attached screenshot shows that those same files are sorted ("by Name") thusly: 003.part.met.bak 003.part.met 003.part 005.part.met.bak 005.part.met 005.part 006.part.met.bak 006.part.met.seeds 006.part.met 006.part 009.part.met.bak 009.part.met 009.part 010.part 010.part.met 010.part.met.bak Even if you believe that the longest-extension-chain-first ordering is sensible (I disagree, but that's neither here nor there), note that the extension order REVERSES itself when the filename base changes from 009 to 010! Whatever kooky ordering Nautilus uses for filenames, it needs to at least apply it consistently.
