Done! Thanks for the rebase @prurigro, I used your code and credited you in the PKGBUILD :) Btw, if you want to co-maintain as @PhrozenByte suggested, I'm happy to add you.

@PhrozenByte, about using patch files: I did that originally, but it is easier for me to maintain it this way and I try to minimize the effort I need to put here, but there's no important reason to keep it this way.

Hey, sorry this hasn't been updated, but unless someone flags this package as out-of-data I don't know when a new Nautilus version is out. I'll update it now.

@prurigro: Your repo is based on https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/nautilus, right? Besides this AUR package unfortunately still being out-of-date, I feel like that your approach better matches Arch's concept: Instead of relying on someone's fork of all of Nautilus the patchset should be moved to the package as *.patch files and applied to the original sources.

What's missing in your repo is attribution and correct licensing @prurigro: I assume you didn't write the patches? It needs correct attribution then and the code itself is licensed under GPL 3.0 I assume?

@albertvaka can you please update the package? Maybe @prurigro is willing to help out, maybe even as co-maintainer?

Thanks you two, your work is very much appreciated!

While we wait for an official update, I rebased the patchset against nautilus 49 and things seem to be working correctly: https://git.darkcloud.ca/kevin/nautilus-typeahead

Thanks for posting @empr, I added glib2-devel as a build dependency now.

empr commented on 2024-07-06 10:05 (UTC)

I had to manually install the package core/glib2-devel before this would build. I had this error:

nautilus/libnautilus-extension/meson.build:22:36: ERROR: Dependency 'glib-2.0' tool variable 'glib_mkenums' contains erroneous value: '/usr/bin/glib-mkenums'

This is a distributor issue -- please report it to your glib-2.0 provider.

thanks a lot for this, i cannot believe they removed this from the official package!

I would start by asking the Nautilus maintainers upstream at Gnome to re-add that feature. Only if they are against it (like they are for typeahead) we should consider maintaining an external patch for it. Having to maintain a patch like this one is a pain, I would be happier if we didn't need to do this.

Okay, I found the issue: My files used to be sorted by "Modified — Time" but after upgrading, that option is no longer available yet the files were still sorted by something (neither alphabetical nor chronological). Re-sorting by "Modified" fixes it.

Anyway, speaking of, is there a chance that you could reintroduce "Modified — Time"? GNOME certainly loves taking features away...

It works for me on a 7k files directory. Does the standard nautilus package not crash?
