Nautilus in Gnome 3.8 doesn't remember any view settings

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 11123 / 2 Years ago, wed, march 9, 2022, 2:48:01

Since I changed from Unity to Gnome 3.8, nautilus has not remembered any view options:

Every time I launch nautilus, hidden files are displayed

Nautilus doesn't remember view settings for any folders (e.g. I change to sort by date modified, descending, in ~/Downloads, but next time I start nautilus it has forgotten).

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks.

Turns out the fix was to clear my Nautilus settings (I guess some settings from when I had Unity installed must have been messing with the new version of Nautiulus):

$ rm -rf ~/.config/nautilus; rm -rf ~/.config/nautilus-extensions; dconf reset -f /org/gnome/nautilus/
