Description Morten Sjoegren 2005-03-06 18:00:45 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

This is a small patch for KDE, it moves "By Name (Case Insensitive)" above "By Name (Case Sensitive)" in

Desktopmenu -> icons -> sort icons

Normally of order in "sort icons" is:
"By Name (Case Sensitive)" 
"By Name (Case Insensitive)" 
"By Size"
"By Type"
"By Date"
"------------"
"Directories first"

this patch changes that to
"By Name (Case Insensitive)"
"By Name (Case Sensitive)"
"By Size"
"By Type"
"By Date"
"------------"
"Directories first"

I never use "By Name (Case Sensitive)" so I find it weird that it's onto.

Sort By Name Case Insensitive first.

It work on both 3.3.x and 3.4

Well, others use it, so the reasoning doesn't really hold.
Changing the order of menu items is just a way to confuse users.

Besides, how often does one change the ordering of his desktop icons?
It's not like this is an area where "often used" matters.
