what you have done is not correct. you don't need to create new documents. I've modified the gconf key like you made, after that: - I opened a Nautlus window in list mode and the files were ordered in reverse sort order. - that was not ok for me, I closed the window and restored the gconf key - I reopened the same window and the list was back to normal sort order - after a bit of time casually I opened gedit and looking for a file to edit I noticed that the browser window was in reverse sort order, I checked other Nautilus window but they were ok, but all the other browser window, in all the programs that allow to surf the file system, were in reverse sort order.
What you say about new and old folders is not correct, the gconf option apply to old folders as well. Trying to reproduce the bug on my laptop I was not able to obtain exactly the same behaviour, there the gedit browser window maintain the normal order, but the bin folder I was using to check the changes has been changed in reverse order and now is not restored to the normal order. that smell like a brother of another bug in nautilus windows I reported before, bug # 435343 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/696505 Title: Problem with reverse list order in Nautilus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
