First off, thank you all for developing all this. I know what time and
effort this all costs and therefor I appreciate any work put into such a
project like this.
That being said, I want to know if there is a way to enable "sort by
extension" feature for Nautilus.
If there is already an option for this, I'm sorry for my
elaborationsbelow , but after digging a while I'm pretty convinced that
I would have found it already if existing.
Now, before starting to harass me with "we don't need another make Linux
to Windows topic", which seems to be the only obvious reason for me why
such a programming wise extremely simple feature isn't implemented yet,
let me explain why and what for this makes sense:
In a perfect Linux world one may be happy with mime type detection or
type, granted. Reality however is, if people like me, who are forced to
work in both worlds, a missing feature like this is extremely work flow
blocking and absolutely annoying. Different filetypes are mixed because
they are assumed to be the same mime type. If need to copy out files
from my Windows/Linux cross project, I have mix ups between .ini, .map
files, between .dll and .so, .ilk and .bsc and and and. I guess I could
compile a list with dozens of examples. I fully agree that Linux is not
windows and I don't want the Desktop of my choice to be "windows'ed",
but such a feature is really an essential addition if one has the
requirement to work with windows files or who needs to have interactions
between both OS.
Anyway, thanks for your time,
