Description Morten Sjoegren 2004-05-17 04:03:35 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

There is one thing I'm missing on KDE's desktop.
Custom or advanced sorting-order. I'd better explain what I mean by that (-:
I find the sorting of folders first and the rest (including devices) by name rather annoying, so I'd like too to set a priority for icons/files on the desktop they'd be sorted after.
If I wanted the sort-order to be: Devices, folders, images, audio, videos and others
I'd set:
Devices = 1
Folders = 2
Images  = 3
Audio   = 4
Videos  = 5
Others  = 6

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86081 has a patch attached.

I don't think this idea has much to do with #86081 and #63866

Comment 8 Andreas Schallenberg 2007-07-10 20:46:30 UTC

This wish is related to #93665. That bug is also about sorting icons depending
on what they point to.

kdesktop is dead ;-)

This is possible with Plasma on KDE 4 (using multiple folder views).
