File Save: missing options?
With Devuan Ascii, when doing a "File Save" there was:
- a "recently used" save location option & corresponding folders list
- folders before files sort order
How to configure these with Devuan Beowulf?
A right-mouse-click in a File Save window displays several options,
among which "sort folders before files" but selection is not permanent
between file saves.
WM: i3.

Install dconf-editor and find the setting in there. It seems to be more nearly permanent that way.

Chromium/Firefox browser (save as, save link as, print & save as pdf), Geany editor. The "Save As" window is identical.
Searched dconf-editor for "save" and there's no corresponding setting.

May be under org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser

^ This.
Or from the command line:
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first trueBrianna Ghey — Rest In Power

Nope.
Or from the command line:
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first true
That worked, thanks.
Remains: "recently used" save location option & corresponding folders list

Nope.
Check again, my command just toggles the "sort-directories-first" option in the section suggested by PedroReina.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
