Nemo - Not seeing Always on Top option in menus

Franck

Bonjour,
I don't see on right click a widow in Nemo, the option "Always on Top" ; is there a shortcut or other tips to do it ?
Merci

Hi Franck,
do you mean "folders first, files second" in the order that Nemo displays them?
Or what do you mean if not that?

SOLUSfiddler Or what do you mean if not that?

"Always on top" usually refers to not allowing an app's window to become buried under other applications, for those who insist on using just one workspace. If it's always on top (of other windows) it's always easy to find.

I mean select window with the option "Always on top" actived, is never overlay by others window.
It is an ordinary option on many Linux distribution (like rezise, close, minimize, maximaze...) ; by right clic on the widow.

Hm... Right-clicking on the title bar of an open program (window) doesn't work?

Franck

pomon
No ; I don't have this kind of menu on right click the title bar of a window.
There is no menu in my distib Solus/Budgie/Nemo ; only the 3 buttons minimize/maximize et close.

pomon

Take it easy. I also have Solus Budgie and Nemo.
I know you have a problem with Nemo, but does the same menu fail to appear in other programs as well?
To check, maximize the window and try right-clicking.

PS. I'm clicking around, and sometimes the menu doesn't open for me either. Try in different areas of the title bar and by double right-clicking.

Befor the PS of Pomon :

I just thought this menu doesn't exist on Nemo/Solus ; but I try doube -and third and more- right click and sometime the menu appear ; I test one my other computer (as say, same ditrib, cf.Fastfetch capture) with "real" mouse (and not mousepad) and it's the same ; so I testing alt+space shortcut and the same ; just sometime it appear.
"Happy" to note that qk4-li3 had same problem... and pomon most search area zone et double-right click (?) sometime to see the option.
Don't know if many people use this menu, but apparently there is a trouble...

qk4-li3

Right click Nemo launcher icon at the launcher. My terminology might be incorrect. Here's picture.

Franck

Thank to evry one for your feed back !
But I test right click and equivant sortcut "alt"+"space" on my two computers (one tower and a lagtop, with alomst the same parameters/themes...).

and the emergence of the option window (with Always on top and others) is totaly chaotic when I freneticly click-click-click using one or other methode ; the sortcut seems to work "better"... but I can not quitely count on it to use this feature on my system.
Nobody notice same troubleshoot ?

@EbonJaeger , do you have any insight why the Always on Top option might not appear in the right click menu on the Nemo titlebar?

EbonJaeger

TraceyC It appears to be working for me...

@Franck Can you please list the exact steps you're taking to try to turn on Always On Top, preferably as a numbered list? For example:

Open Nemo
Do thing

qk4-li3

EbonJaeger It appears to be working for me...

I can report that there's no right click menu appearing when I click title bar of Nemo window.
But for example calculator works but text editor (gedit) works in a way that I have to right click and hold the click to keep the menu visible.
Solus Budgie up to date here.

Franck I found that a double right-click on the title bar of Nemo seems to bring the menu up. It is strange, I agree. However, a right-click on the Nemo icon in the panel and selecting the triangle next to Home does always show the menu which includes 'Always On Top'.

stocc I found that a double right-click on the title bar of Nemo seems to bring the menu up.

I found out that I have this too, but not always. Sometimes double-right clicking (at Nemo title bar) gets to a state in which I have to left click (to reset...?), and then double-right click works again. And... while playing this click game I noticed that just a couple of times, only one right click was needed. Quite inconsistent behavior.
