Sort folders before files preference doesn't affect dconf /org/gtk/settings/file-chooser/sort-directories-first

[JamiKettunen]

 * Nemo version - 5.2.4
 * Issue is with - Windowed nemo
 * Distribution - Void Linux
 * Graphics hardware *and* driver used - AMD RX 580 with amdgpu kernel driver
 * 64 bit

Issue
Changing the Sort folders before files preference doesn't change the GTK /org/gtk/settings/file-chooser/sort-directories-first dconf entry value for e.g. save/open file dialogs.

Steps to reproduce

1. Check dconf read /org/gtk/settings/file-chooser/sort-directories-first
2. Open nemo
3. Change Edit > Preferences > Sort folders before files
4. Check dconf read /org/gtk/settings/file-chooser/sort-directories-first and observe it hasn't changed
5. Trying to open/save files from other applications don't respect the value of the Sort folders before files preference chosen in nemo

Expected behaviour
Changing Sort folders before files preference also affects the system-wide GTK open/save dialogs.

Nautilus already links it's "sort folders before files" preference to this dconf/gsettings value and I think it would simply make sense to do the same here.

Other information
Fwiw the state of the GTK sort-directories-first boolean can also be get/set via gsettings, e.g. gsettings get org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first

Nemo uses org.nemo.preferences sort-directories-first

gsettings get org.nemo.preferences sort-directories-first

@leigh123linux I know it uses that but my issue is it doesn't affect the GTK file picker and makes nemo feel unpolished as a result.

So will the nemo preference never be linked to org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first then (or at least also affect it)?

@leigh123linux Could I please get a second opinion on this issue from another developer? I think it's a bit rude to close this when what you said didn't even address my issue in any way.

Perhaps you should make your reports clearer, you never mentioned you expected the setting to be linked.
