GTK Open dialog:
File_1.ext
File_2.ext
File_10.ext
File_11.ext
File_100.ext
I don't know if this would be an easy fix, but it would help me a lot!
I think we should do this. Probably a related issue is using
case-insensitive sorting as well. I think there may be a function in
GLib for sorting filenames that does this, but I can't seem to find it
I think GLib(or maybe GTK not completely sure) sorts file lists
automatically. At least, if I start a GTK app on my system it uses the
German locale and when I open a GTK file open dialog, files are listed
case-insensitive, i.e. I get a list of
k.file
M.file
n.file
O.file
p.file
If I start the same app with the C locale(LANG=C app) the file open
dialog lists the files sorted by case:
M.file
O.file
k.file
n.file
p.file
Maybe there is a GTK/GLib preference which can be set by the user in
~/.gtkrc-2.0. This isn't really related to the topic, I just wanted to
mention it ;-).
By the way, if I remember correctly, "naturally" means in relation to
file sorting the sorting files are actually saved on the disc, the
"natural" sort. This is what you get when you read the contents
of a directory. So, there is no need that files in a directory have any
real sorting.
