Sorting files according to type in Pcmanfm is not working properly.

Hi,

For a long time I just ignored this fact, but as now I'm trying to make everything work as it should, my problem with Pcmanfm bothers me more and more. I would like to sort files according to their types. Nothing easier, right? So I chose "Sort by type" option and got this - (1).

As you can see, the files are not in the alphabetical order as they should (but are sorted by type) But, when I click on View menu (Widok on the screenshot - (2)) the files jump back to their original, alphabetical order, still being grouped according to types (3).

Anyone encountered such a problem before? Tried to find something familiar with no results. I'm using FAM with Pcmanfm, maybe there lies the source of my problems?

I'll provide every information you might need, just ask.

Might or might not be the problem, but why FAM? Gamin is faster and lighter - I don't think anything really needs FAM anymore?

EDIT: I'm an idiot, it appears there's a bug with Gamin and PCManFM. Sorry!

Hey Lilim,

Jump is if you feel like it. As you can see I filed a bug report with pcmanfm. We'll have to wait and see if it's the actual problem.

Hm, so it seems that the problem is on Pcmanfm's side. Thank you skottish (once again), let's hope that this will be solved somehow.

Really? Didn't know about it, really :roll:

I've been having the same problem, on top of pcmanfm not refreshing when new files or directories are created, or when they're renamed. I have to hit F5 everytime I do something like that for the window to reflect the changes.
