/schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_hidden_files /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_hidden_files nautilus bool false Whether to show dotfiles If set to true, then hidden files (dotfiles) are shown in the file manager. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_backup_files /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_backup_files nautilus bool false Whether to show backup files If set to true, then backup files such as those created by Emacs are displayed. Currently, only files ending in a tilde (~) are considered backup files. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/confirm_trash /apps/nautilus/preferences/confirm_trash nautilus bool true Whether to ask for confirmation when moving files to trash If set to true, then Nautilus will ask for confirmation when you attempt to put files in the trash. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete /apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete nautilus bool false Whether to enable immediate deletion If set to true, then Nautilus will have a feature allowing you to delete a file immediately and in-place, instead of moving it to the trash. This feature can be dangerous, so use caution. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_icon_text /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_icon_text nautilus string local_only When to show preview text in icons Speed tradeoff for when to show a preview of text file contents in the file's icon. If set to "always" then always show previews, even if the directory is on a remote server. If set to "local_only" then only show previews for local filesystems. If set to "never" then never bother to read preview data. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_directory_item_counts /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_directory_item_counts nautilus string local_only When to show number of items in a directory Speed tradeoff for when to show the number of items in a directory. If set to "always" then always show item counts, even if the directory is on a remote server. If set to "local_only" then only show counts for local filesystems. If set to "never" then never bother to compute item counts. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/click_policy /apps/nautilus/preferences/click_policy nautilus string double Type of click used to launch/open files Possible values are "single" to launch files on a single click, or "double" to launch them on a double click. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/executable_text_activation /apps/nautilus/preferences/executable_text_activation nautilus string ask What to do with executable text files when activated What to do with executable text files when they are activated (single or double clicked). Possible values are "launch" to launch them as programs, "ask" to ask what to do via a dialog, and "display" to display them as text files. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/theme /apps/nautilus/preferences/theme nautilus string default Current Nautilus theme Name of the Nautilus theme to use. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_image_thumbnails /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_image_thumbnails nautilus string local_only When to show thumbnails of image files Speed tradeoff for when to show a image files as a thumbnail. If set to "always" then always thumbnail, even if the directory is on a remote server. If set to "local_only" then only show thumbnails for local filesystems. If set to "never" then never bother to thumbnail images, just use a generic icon. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/thumbnail_limit /apps/nautilus/preferences/thumbnail_limit nautilus int 3145728 Maximum image size for thumbnailing Images over this size (in bytes) won't be thumbnailed. The purpose of this setting is to avoid thumbnailing large images that may take a long time to load or use lots of memory. /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/use_public_metadata /apps/nautilus/preferences/use_public_metadata nautilus string local_only Whether to store metadata in each directory, or in a single global location Nautilus records information about each directory you visit, such as its background color, emblems, zoom level, and so on. This information can be stored in one location in your home directory, or it can be stored in each directory in hidden files. The advantages of storing per-directory are that it's more robust (can't be deleted in one go) and that for folders used by multiple users, the metadata will be shared. So for example all users can see emblems applied to files. If this setting is "local_only", for local filesystems metadata will be stored per-directory, and for remote connections it will be stored in the user's home directory. If it's "never" then all metadata will go in the user's home directory; if it's "always" then all metadata will go in the directory being described. (However, for read-only directories, metadata always goes in the user's home directory.) /schemas/apps/nautilus/preferences/smooth_graphics_mode /apps/nautilus/preferences/smooth_graphics_mode nautilus bool true Whether to use smooth (antialiased) graphics If toggled on, smooth out jagged graphics, possibly using more resources.
