Hi,
Just wondering if it's possible to make nautilus order files without case sensitivity when they're sorted by name.
I've tried a few searches but turned up nothing, except that the gnome documentation says it isn't case sensitive (here)
There's nothing in gconf either, as far as I can see.
If I recall correctly, it wasn't case sensitive when using nautilus in other distros...
Sorry if this has come up before, but I couldn't find anything in the forums.
thanks

Sorry to dig this out, but I have the same problem here. Maybe it has something to do with a Locale setting?
EDIT: Indeed, changing the Locale did fix the problem. Add this to your ~/.bashrc
export LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
Note: Now most programs will sort files insensitive including the "ls" command.

There's no need to add additional export settings to your .bashrc. Simply commenting the line in /etc/profile will revert your LC_COLLATE variable back to whatever you have set as your LOCALE in /etc/rc.conf. For example:
#export LC_COLLATE="C"
