Package: thunar Version: 0.8.0-6 Severity: normal The normal sort order for my locale appears to use case folding:
$ with-temp-dir env -u LC_COLLATE bash with-temp-dir: entering directory `/tmp/tmp.hAbJR22098' $ touch .bzr README autogen.sh configure.ac src $ locale LANG=en_AU.utf8 LC_CTYPE="en_AU.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.utf8" LC_TIME="en_AU.utf8" LC_COLLATE="en_AU.utf8" LC_MONETARY="en_AU.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.utf8" LC_PAPER="en_AU.utf8" LC_NAME="en_AU.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_AU.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU.utf8" LC_ALL= $ ls -1A autogen.sh .bzr configure.ac README src Since files beginning with an uppercase letter typically represent "important" files (e.g. README, COPYING), I override case folding by exporting LC_COLLATE=C. This ensures they are listed first, bringing them to my attention: $ export LC_COLLATE=C $ ls -1A .bzr README autogen.sh configure.ac src If I start thunar in this directory, it is immediately apparently that LC_COLLATE=C is being ignored; README is listed between configure.ac and src: $ thunar . $ exit with-temp-dir: leaving directory `/tmp/tmp.hAbJR22098' -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages thunar depends on: ii desktop-file-utils 0.12-1 Utilities for .desktop files ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.6.1-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.10-1+b2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.1-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexo-0.3-0 0.3.2-5 Library with extensions for Xfce ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.13-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.13-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.3-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpango1.0-0 1.16.5-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libthunar-vfs-1-2 0.8.0-6 VFS abstraction used in thunar ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxfce4util4 4.4.1-1 Utility functions library for Xfce ii shared-mime-info 0.22-1 FreeDesktop.org shared MIME databa ii thunar-data 0.8.0-6 Provides thunar documentation, ico ii xfce4-panel 4.4.1-1 The Xfce4 desktop environment pane Versions of packages thunar recommends: ii dbus 1.1.1-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii gamin 0.1.8-2 File and directory monitoring syst ii hal 0.5.9.1-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
