"Show folders apart" behavour

[Leopoldus]

If option "Show folders apart" is active, all folders are always shown together. When sorting order is usual, all folders are shown at the top of the list. But when sorting is inversed (by any parameter), all folders are shown below under all other files.
I don's sure, may be it is not a bug, but a feature. However I doubt, is this feature is useful. The most file managers, i.e. Windows Explorer, shows folders at the top, so any experienced user gets a habit to see folders at the top of the list in any case.

It's indeed a feature! I'm aware that most file managers handle this differently, but deliberately, like Sinatra, I did it my way.
Don't you think it's better like this?

EDIT: just checked Explorer (WinXP), and it behaves just like TrackerV3 (which was not the case under Win95).

Yes, you are right! I'm not a great user of Windows Explorer, that's the reason of my mistake.
However my opinion is the same. May be you could add a sub-option for option "Show folders together", so every user can choose what he whants?
And may be use a horizonatl line to separate folders section from files one? In case if custom icons are used for all or some folders, it is not so obvious for the glance where folders section finishes/begins.

Sorry, but both ideas are too difficult to implement. Not worth the pain in my opinion.

OK, it's up to you to decide.
However I must answer your direct question in the previous post: no, I don't thnik so.
