Nautilus likes to change its views

[Paul F. Johnson]

Hi,

Purely by itself, Nautilus changes it's method of viewing from folder to
folder. Some tries to display as catalogue, some as list, some as sound
etc.

Is there any way to stop this behaviour and always just open as one
particular type of view? I've looked if there is anything in gconf, but
can't find anything obvious.

It is bloomin' annoying!

Looks to me like it always is defaulting to catalogue, which fails when
trying to open Start Here, and Computer.  Also very annoying just
looking through directories as I have to select Icon or text view with
each new directory or I just get a blank window.

Probably should stay default Icon or text (user's choice) but user
should be able to select another view on a per-directory basis.

Actually that's because it remembers your preference.

No, I've seen the behaviour here too, and it definitely is unusual.

Hello all.

I thought I'd add my voice to the group, I've just updated to the latest
round of gnome updates on rawhide and am noticing exactly the same
problem (both on my home laptop and my work test machine).

I have submitted a bug here, please update with your details, if your
also suffering from the problem (or of course are not).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130220

It appears to be overwriting predefined preferences and not picking up
the users default (Icon View).

As the bugzilla report says, definitely a problem caused by gthumb.

As a temporary workaround, deleting
/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_GThumb_CatalogView.server works, by the way.

Regards,
