(The first "HD" is for high def!). Anyway, the great feature is it records on a 40Gb hard disk, but the annoying thing is the video files are named in hex: MOV001 MOV002 MOV003 ... MOV009 MOV00A MOV00B ... MOV00F MOV010 and so on. But when nautilus displays the files, it decides to do it "cleverly", and sorts all the 001 to 009, 010 to 019, etc. files _after_ all the 00A to 00F, 01A to 01F files, so I end up with this: MOV00A MOV00B ... MOV00F MOV01A ... MOV001 MOV002 MOV003 ... MOV009 MOV010 MOV011 ... which is in completely the wrong order, so trying to categorise / edit the files becomes a pain, as the more files I have, the further out of place they get! `ls` doesn't sort it like nautilus - it does what I expect and puts it in the right order. so in short, is there any way around this? Can I tell nautilus to stop being "clever"? I had a look in the options, but I can't find it. (There's always `emerge -C gnome; emerge kde` but I don't know if that will fix everything ;) TIA, -- Iain Buchanan Gomme's Laws: (1) A backscratcher will always find new itches.
