Wini-Buh Raster setting is customized with the horizontal (found on the bottom of the dialog) and the vertical (found on right side of the dialog) slide controls.

You mean, the horizontal and vertical grid spacing? I changed both of those to their mid-point settings, and could perceive no change anywhere. Perhaps I'm still doing something wrong? Maybe a reboot needed?

EDIT: Ahhh, I found out what "grid spacing" means. It has to do with how closely the desktop icons are spaced from each other. Nothing to do with screen resolution. I'm learning a lot. Thanks for your help.

    It didn't work. I did the switch as described but it wouldn't let me log in to Budgie after rebooting. Logging in with ctrl+f5 and removing nemo from ttk eopkg fixes it.
    I do not think this switch was thought through very well or the most ideal solution to begin with I'm sorry but this is a disaster.

      Ahem So, back to Nemo....

      shipoopy It would be helpful to see journal logs to see what went wrong in this case.

        FYI: I deleted a number of posts that were entirely unrelated to the topic. Please try to keep the discussion limited to things that relate to Nemo / desktop icons / the switch from budgie-desktop-view. (also don't respond to this message)

        Back to ontopic! Nothing to report so far, it's just nice that you can make a temp file on the desktop 🙂

        Nemo has so much functionalities I discover and appreciate (easy to change folder icons, emblems, mouse shortcuts, per folder config, pin folder, etc.), thank you to all the team for this migration ! 🙏

        Hi, nice performance with this installation of Nemo in Solus and congratulations to the developers involved.
        I would like to point out a problem in changing the default settings of the icon view in the Preferences menu.
        Indeed, when the default zoom level (100%) is changed to 150%, everything is fine, this change is effectively reflected in all other folders.
        But when you then go from 150% to 200%, this is no longer the case : some folders follow, others do not.
        And when you want to go back, it's the same thing.
        All that remains is to adjust the zoom level per folder using the button at the bottom right of the file manager (we don't have this problem with Nautilus).
        On the other hand, I did not find how to sort, in Nemo, the folders by type, by date of last modification... (like in Nautilus).
        Thank you in advance for your help.
        Best regards.

          penny-farthing On the other hand, I did not find how to sort, in Nemo, the folders by type, by date of last modification... (like in Nautilus).

          Assuming the default icon view, right click in empty space, and look for "Arrange Items...". In list view, you can just click on the headers.

            OK, that works now for the tip about sorting folders, thanks.
            And about the problem with managing the default settings for the icon view in the Preferences menu, what do you think ?

              penny-farthing I would guess this is because by default, Nemo does view preferences per folder. So if you've already opened a folder at one zoom level, that gets saved, and it keeps using that. You can try to enable this option in the Behavior tab in Preferences, but it still seems weird sometimes:

                penny-farthing Do you mean the actual folder icons have mismatching sizes or are there something like generated thumbnails in the mix?

                    [deleted] When I went from 150% to 200%, "Personal Folders" stay in 150%, "Documents" changed to 200%, "Music" stay in 150%, "Pictures" changed to 200% (and "Videos" too (it seems to remind me)).
                    When I came back from 200% to 150%, it had no effect.
                    So I recreated my account user and I configured at 150% the parameter of icon view.
                    It's just after I noticed the button to adjust the zoom level per folder.
                    Hoping I have been more clear,
                    Regards.

                        penny-farthing Okay nvm then. I think I misread the issue completely 😅

                          No problem. I'm not English, so I do my best to express myself in this language. 😆
                          Isn't the main thing to participate? (Solus is well worth it.)

                          Just something I found interesting about Nemo ...

                          I stopped using Solus for my daily-driver laptop, and installed Kubuntu in its place, because apparently it's the only way I can get access to VirtualBox 7.04, which I intend to use every day. But that's another issue.

                          Using Dolphin on Ubuntu products has never given me access to my NAS shares, and I've just settled for accessing them from a terminal when I've needed something. Today it occurred to me to try using Nemo instead, so I installed it and damned if it didn't work!

                          All I need to do is use a password at the beginning of each session, and I can access all the shares and all their contents. I've had the permissions issue on varous distros that I've explored, and I'm now tempted to just install Nemo on them next time it happens.

                            WetGeek I stopped using Solus for my daily-driver laptop, and installed Kubuntu in its place, because apparently it's the only way I can get access to VirtualBox 7.04, which I intend to use every day. But that's another issue.

                            This will be ready next sync.

                              Another thing: I checked the "Sort folders before files" option in Nemo's preferences, and indeed, folders appear well before files.
                              But when I want to move a file from one folder to another, the contents of the selected folder appear, in alphabetical order of course, with the files and folders mixed in, why?

                                WetGeek Today it occurred to me to try using Nemo instead, so I installed it and damned if it didn't work!

                                I don't know whether this matters to anyone else, but since I made this statement, I thought I should tell why I removed Nemo and replaced Dolphin. Then stopped using that laptop, except as a backup device.

                                Nemo did indeed give me access to remote folders, allowing me to enter a password to gain that access. But the file manager is also pressed into service by other application. E.g., choosing a destination for exporting an address book from Thunderbird, or accessing the Downloads folder to receive a downloaded .ISO file. For such purposes, it doesn't prompt for password access and thus doesn't work at all.

                                Since VirtualBox 7.x is to be in next week's sync, I'll just keep waiting, and put up with 6.1 until then. I just didn't want to give the impression that Nemo was the solution to all my file manager problems, as I first thought.

                                  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?
