I just opened the GIMP in Windows (which also uses GTK) and the open dialog uses case-insensitive sorting, so this is definitely possible. It may be a simple option or perhaps we need to upgrade the version of GTK used. |

I suppose the GIMP in windows compiles GTK directly from source. I had a look at the GTK 2.14.5 sources, and this is how the sort function looks like: /* Sort callback for the filename column */ static gint name_sort_func (GtkTreeModel *model, GtkTreeIter *a, GtkTreeIter *b, gpointer user_data) { COMPARE_DIRECTORIES; else { gchar *key_a, *key_b; gint result; key_a = g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename (g_file_info_get_display_name (info_a), -1); key_b = g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename (g_file_info_get_display_name (info_b), -1); result = strcmp (key_a, key_b); g_free (key_a); g_free (key_b); return result; } } Note the use of strcmp. There is also no method exposed to change the sort function or get hold of the treemodel behind the GtkFileChooserDialog. Either we compile GTK+ from source or we suspend this issue... |

Cannot be fixed without recompiling GTK, maybe a future release of GTK will expose the required functionality. |

Suspended then, yes? |

Suspended or closed? Sounded like it could be done in the future, but it was marked closed (causing it to fall of the radar), not suspended. |

This was effectively resolved by the migration to wxWidgets, which no longer uses GTK dialogs on Windows. |
