Switching from Budgie Desktop View to Nemo Desktop

Solarmass

penny-farthing Must I uninstall Nautilus ? (I haven't done it)

or reset its settings somehow.. I would try it 🙂

penny-farthing

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 ?

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:

remove Nautilus
reinstall Nautilus
check broken packages https://getsol.us/articles/troubleshooting/general-troubleshooting/en/

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! 😃

EbonJaeger Is it still necessary to keep Nautilus, once we have installed Nemo? (since this one should logically replace it)

EbonJaeger

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.

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.

Thank you for your answers to both of you.

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🙂

I'm on Gnome and I've given up on Nautilus. I installed nemo and removed nautilus as part of my new install. So far so good.

riffer I installed nemo and removed nautilus as part of my new install.

Speaking of changing to Nemo: Why is Nemo placed in the Accessories sub-menu (after a reboot) on Budgie? Why not System Tools, or if not that, Utilities? To me, it seems like it's definitely a system tool.

Hi,
How can I change the icons nemo using to nautilus' icon set!

EbonJaeger

kizilyildiz I'm not sure what you mean. The icons in those screenshots look the same to me; they should be using whatever you have your icon theme set to.

EbonJaeger

WetGeek Because the category that it has in the desktop file is Utility, which the spec describes as "Accessories," which is the name that Budgie uses. Just yesterday I actually made this PR changing some of the category sorting, in which the current Utilities category will no longer exist because it's A) ambiguous with Accessories and B) doesn't include a desktop category that one would expect (X-GNOME-Utilities).

EbonJaeger In the next edition of Solus, this will become the default for new installations of Solus Budgie, and these steps will not be necessary.
Hello, I just wanted to give a small feedback, that this is not standard as of now. Just in case you switched to nemo in the current ISO and something is not yet working as it should. I did a fresh install yesterday and nemo-desktop wasnt set as default yet.
