When trying:
Code: Select all
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first trueI get this reply:
GLib-GIO-Message: 21:22:59.047: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.
Notes:
- FatDog64 812 here running Slimjet Browser via "run-as-spot"
- gtk3 3.24.31 package is installed
- export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib64/gio/modules/ has no effect
- manual edit of /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml has no effect
What am I missing? 
Thx in advance! 
EDIT:
(Some context)
When I needed to upload a file from the browser, the file list appeared disordered and not showing hidden files. Right click on the file list made appear those options to select, but after the browser was closed and opened again, those configurations were gone.
As it's seen, Fatdog64 is a tad reluctant to the "solution" I described previously (in order to make those changes persistant) but this workaround worked for me.
Instead of:
Code: Select all
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first trueI made the appropiate changes manually in "/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml":
"sort-directories-first": "false" > "true"
'show-hidden': "false" > "true"
And then I run:
Code: Select all
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemasThis last command creates a binary equivalent (gschemas.compiled) of all the schemas in the folder.
And that's it. Now the default view in the file list from the browser (that is, when you press "ctrl + o") shows the directories first and the hidden files too.
