Solarmass So, I right click on the file I want to move in Nemo, then on Browse, and there I select the Documents folder, and this is what I get:

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

      NB. I would like to point out that, quite recently, I had the same problem with Nautilus. It has since been fixed, without any intervention from me (perhaps, following a system update ?)

      What item in the context menu do you select? Copy? And on that screenshot it's not Nemo, I think it's Nautilus folder selection dialog window? 🤔

          Yes, I did start from Nemo, and as explained above, right click on the file selected, then Move to, then Browse... to end up to the screen (where I selected Documents) reported on this post.
          No idea ?

              penny-farthing gotcha! Move to item was disabled for me.
              Folders are on top for me, my settings:

              BTW have you tried another method:

              cut the file > open destination folder > paste the file

                  Solarmass I have the same settings like you (except for the icon view which I prefer).
                  Regarding your suggestion, indeed, in this way, the display is correct.
                  But I must admit that I was so used to using "Copy to..." or "Move to...".
                  Must I uninstall Nautilus ? (I haven't done it)
                  Anyway, thanks for taking the time to try to help me during these exchanges.
                  I think that, like some users, I will consider reinstalling my system with the new ISO v.4.4 when it will be released.

                      Solarmass I looked in the Preferences menu and I could not find a link to reset the values set in Nemo or Nautilus.
                      Is there a terminal command to do this ?

                          penny-farthing

                          Install Dconf Editor, go to /org/gnome/nautilus/ and check the toggle Use default value everywhere

                          ^ here is (!) non-default setting

                          Next steps you can try:

                              Solarmass The instructions you gave me were to correct any defects in Nautilus. I can confirm that folders appear before files when copying or moving a file to another folder.
                              But this was still not the case for Nemo.
                              So here is what I did:

                              • uninstall Nemo, then restart the PC
                              • reinstall Nemo following the procedure provided by @EbonJaeger
                              • in the Preferences menu, I unchecked the "Inherit view type from parent" option
                                and here is the result:

                              Thanks again for your patience and help and good continuation... with Solus! 😃

                                penny-farthing I'have unistalled Nautilus and Nemo work in the right way also with copy to and move to.
                                I believe that you jump from Nautilus to Nemo without realizing it.

                                    penny-farthing Installing Nautilus is fine. If the operation you're doing involves a file picker, then that's a part of GTK itself, not any file manager. The file picker is in GTK.

                                        EbonJaeger hey Ebon---your instructions worked on a fresh budgie install. no more nautilus!

                                        I recommend all Budgie new installs to do this and read the whole thread for the nemo add-ons. nautilus was problematic when I used it immediately after install. some mediocre things never change (nautilus) but thanks to you I changed it. in fedora budgie nemo is the default. that will probably happen in the next .iso...

                                        ...but I could not wait🙂
