Our company just switched to kubuntu_12_04_64.
Which is a great option overall. But. In the transition we lost somehow one of the most important options.
Every time we open any app's file browser (ie: soffice, libreoffice, firefox, thunderbird) to open a file or insert a picture, we still get what it looks like the generic GTK file manager.
This UI is simple still effective for what we need. But does not seem to have any visible preferences control.
So, with the update, every time we open this generic file manager, it is defaulting to sort the files by ascending time. Instead of the previous descending time scheme.
Which means now we have latest files out of view, at the very bottom of the UI, and we have to reorder the date column, every time as well, to find the latest files. Or scroll all the way down to hunt the latest files.
Our system guys are stomped as well.
- I tried changing the file manager under the Default Application KDE Control Module to various types no avail. The generic one always appears.
- Also tried to force Thunderbird's ui.allow_platform_file_picker to false, and use a different file manager at least for emails, but even that one does not retain the descending time scheme.
- I set the KDE file picker ui's preference to descending time. And so I tried for Dolphin and any other file manager I could find. But none of them seem to be affecting the "generic gtk" one.
If we had this working before, Im sure we are just missing a setting somewhere.
Any leads would be really appreciated..
