Fedora :: Nautilus Not Sorting Data Properly?

View 13 RepliesI've recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu and have a question regarding tweaking the character order Nautilus uses for alphabetical sorting. In my music/graphics/etc folder hierarchies, I have used a hyphen at the start as a 'hack' to 'sticky' some folders above the rest for quicker access. This worked fine in Windows, but Nautilus ignores a hyphen in it's sorting calculations. Is there anyway, simple or complex to replicate this behaviour in Nautilus?

killall -9 nautilus
in a (successful) attempt to get Banshee to properly locate my ipod but now i can't figure out how to properly reinstate nautilus.
I ran
nautilus
and
nautilus&
and these got nautilus working until I close the terminal.
My question is: is there a way to get nautilus to work properly again without having to either restart my computer or keep terminal open?
Has anybody noticed that delete in Ubuntu 10.10 is only compatible with Ubuntu. E.g. I have a usb stick with 2 movies on it. Delete them using ubuntu's Gui just right clicking files and move to thrash so the drive looks empty. then i physically remove the drive and put it into a windows xp machine and all the files are still on the stick just put into a folder called thrash.
I also reformatted the usb stick Fat32 inside ubuntu and when i put it into the windows machine the file names were still there. (The movies were currupt and unplayable in Windows.)But still its very strange I suppose i'll just have to Blow up my usb if i ever need to destroy the data on it.. Just let me know if this has happened to you guys before. (I had Bootable Backtrack 3 on one of my old usb's that I gave to a work colleague.
I know that deleting and reformatting only deletes the indexing info for the OS but i always thought that deleted files couldn't be accessed by the average computer user.
I often record music from the webradio with Streamtuner.How can I rename the mp3 files recorded in a way that numbers are added to the beginning of the filename representing the order in which the titles were played on the webradio station?I am looking for an automated solution like a renaming tool since there are usually hundreds of files in a directory. I used autorename / ARen for windows back in the day when I was still on XP. What I could do with the tool was:a) Sort the files by date of creationb) add an increasing number at the beginning of the filename based on the position in the sorted list.

I am trying to sort a file, so I can compare it to another file later. I am storing the file name in a variable called curMo. I then call sort $curMo and it hangs for a very long time and I have to quit the process. why this is not working or how to make it work?
Here is part of my code:
#sort this file for this Location
sort -u $curMo -o $curMo.sorted

I have a list of list and I'd like to sort the list according to the last value of each row.
Let's say we have the list

L2 = [ [78,-3] , [1,2] , [4,6] ]
Is there a simple way to do that in python?
I have this dictionary file that has this format:
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE, Real Value
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_2, Real Big Value
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL, Hardware Abstract
SUBSTITUTE_V, Valley Mem
I want to sort this file so the LONGEST Substitute Values are listed at the top ( so SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL would be first in the list). Obviously I want to keep the related values tagging along with them, so the whole first line would be
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL, Hardware Abstract
Playing with sort This has me pretty close: sort dict.file -k1.1n,1

I love using htop, but I have noticed that whenever I sort by a parameter (for example, Shift+m for sorting by Memory usage), the htop stats stop dynamically refreshing. Is this intended? I also notice this with top as well.

I'm currently trying to organize a media server so that things will be in some kind of logical order rather than the current setup of dumping everything of a certain content type into a single folder. However, the size and diversity of content within these disorganized folders precludes me doing things manually. Does anyone know of a program or script that could sort the files into folders based on part of a filename

I am using the code:
sort -k1
but it prints it by sorting the second column.
The command: Code: ls -lRt Shows a recusrive listing, and sorts by modification time. But this in in tree fashion, where it first lists the contents of the current folder sorted by time, and then the contents of each child folder sorted by time. How would one accomplish this type of sort, but with an aggregate listing - all items recursively sorted together, rather than by individual folder?

2)Let us say I have sentence "I am young" I want to arrange the words in this line in alphabetical order so that I get 'am I young'. First I thought replacing space by in sentence.Then !#j then type sort -n where # represents number of words.Then #J to join the filteredlines.It works but now I have file with hundreds of sentence of varying length.If I make a macro how will it know the number of words?
Sometimes I get a bounce back mail saying the e-mail address used wasn't valid. Is there a way to create a folder in "mail", and automatically sort these bounced back mails into this folder? Once this is done, how can I view these mails in a flat file manner? Am thinking of writing a script to parse through the mails to get the invalid e-mails all in one go.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am parsing through XML documents with a PHP script and creating an array because, as far as I know, I can manipulate arrays better than the features DOM gives me. That part is not as important, though. The array it produces though is multi-dimensional, but somewhat inconsistent. If I have the following XML:
PHP Code:
<domains> <domain>
<title>google.com</title> <bookmarks>
<bookmark>maps.google.com</bookmark>
<bookmark>news.google.com</bookmark>
<bookmark>mail.google.com</bookmark>
</bookmarks> </domain> <domain>
<title>bankaccount.com</title>
<bookmarks> <bookmark>login.bankaccount.com</bookmark>
</bookmarks> </domain> </domains>
To call the first bookmark from the first domain, it would be:
PHP Code:
$array['domains']['domain'][0]['bookmarks']['bookmark'][0]
To call the first bookmark from the second domain, it would be:
PHP Code:
$array['domains']['domain'][1]['bookmarks']['bookmark']
The problem is, I want to simply call bookmarks through a simply 'foreach()' or 'for()' function and the lack of consistency might be a problem, but the fact that some levels have a '0' array key and others do not is causing a problem.
I have a problem to reorganize a spreedsheat using shell, I want to use "sort" to organize the first column (descending scale) and then organize the second column in an ascending scale related to the first column so that the final result should be that one displayed at the end of the message. I have tried "sort -r -n" but I don't know how to reorganize the second column related to the first column.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI need a shell script which gathers the data from a remote XML file and then displays it according to my needs.. I need this for my job due to the fact that I need to keep track price changes of euro, usd, gold, etc. The XML file I am talking about is located at this page: here. The reason I am posting the URL is that I need to use curl to get this file and it does NOT have newlines after each tag. I thought that that would be a problem. Here is what I need from the script: 1) curl to get the page 2) make use of sed, awk, etc. to display its contents in a more structured and readable manner as shown below:
A: 64.125 (% -0.26)
B: 81.130 (% -0.32)
C: 1.4930 (% 0.00)
D: 1.9590 (% 0.36)
I was glad to see another release of exaile. I'm always happy to see improving mainstream desktop apps, especially when they start being much superior to their commercial counterparts in both, quality and quantity, of features. But as if developers are ignoring the simple usability problems - again - exaile like all other gnome music players (apart from amarok, but that's kde!) can't browse your library by album artist!
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo I just had a quick question on logical volumes and such with ubuntu. I've been looking into setting up a storage array of 4 2tb hard drives for media storage in my house but have ran into a wall with with sort of array i should use, whether it be setting up a full raid system (raid 5 or 10 most likely) or using LVM for stripping. The one thing with LVM however, is that there is no parity or redundancy built into it in case 1 hard drive fails. I was wondering if it was possible to create something similar to that of LVM stripping, but instead the logical volume is sorted into whole individual files, not stripping them across the array. That way, if one drive fails, sure, i lose the contents of the one drive, but the rest of the content isn't lost and I have no loss of space because there is no inherent parity.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just started programming in PHP so I haven't figured out how to do this yet, but I have a multi-dimensional array that I need to sort by one column. That's fine...but I need the sort to ignore case! Right now I have it sorted by 'name' (the other column is 'uid').
The problem is that by the default the sort is case-sensitive so the array looks like this:
Code:
Apple 4015
Banana 4011
Cherry 4045
avocado 4046
I want to be able to sort the the 'name' column in a case-insensitive manner so that the array actually looks like:
Code:
Apple 4015
avocado 4046
Banana 4011
Cherry 4045
How to accomplish this? Just FYI I'm not actually sorting the PLUs for fruits...but it was a simple example. I'm actually doing this for a Facebook application.
