That would make a lot of people happy, really. Thanks for your patch, and for your interest in improving Nautilus. I think your use case is a real concern, and something we should fix indeed, but as others said in this thread, I don't think a confirmation dialog is how we want this to be implemented, especially when it carries a new preference with it. That being said, it's too late in the 3.0 cycle now to add new features anyway, as we're past UI and string freeze, and we have a global Undo feature in the pipeline for 3.2; I'd like to see this feature integrated with it, and e.g. the GMail-like approach that has been suggested by Holger seems a better UI for this than a confirmation dialog.

Any Shared Slides - New Features for GNOME 3.0
Hi all, I am writing to ask is there any public shared slides to talk about What's new in GNOME 3.0. Since we are going to have 120+ Launch parties in April, a slides like this can be reused and shared with some launch parties. -Emily -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: Any Shared Slides - New Features for GNOME 3.0
Hi, If I may be so bold, I think that we should not have a what's new in GNOME 3 presentation, but a What is GNOME presentation. Presentations should not just concentrate on the new shiny, but on the whole experience. Many people have not been watching closely for a number of years - this is an opportunity to show how great GNOME is, in general. vuntz is giving a presentation in Lyon, he might be persuaded to share it here? Cheers, Dave. Emily Chen wrote: Hi all, I am writing to ask is there any public shared slides to talk about What's new in GNOME 3.0.

At least for our local release party the audience is expected to be quite technical. Hence a What is GNOME presentation *might* be uninteresting for them. I don't want to generalize, just pointing out to consider it *in case* you know your audience a bit. andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper | http://www.openismus.com -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Do you really think I have slides for a talk that I'll give in three weeks? ;-) FWIW, my approach is likely to be something like why is GNOME 3 so great for you. If you take the highlights from the gnome3.org page, you actually get a good part of the content for such a talk. I like what Dave suggests, though. Maybe we can simply add some slides about the philosophy of the project, with examples illustrating that, that were already in GNOME 2. It certainly won't hurt, at least.

Re: Any Shared Slides - New Features for GNOME 3.0
Hi Emily, What do you want these slides for, exactly? Will they be to have on in the background, or the focus of presentations? If they are for background, I would suggest a slideshow that is low on text and high on images. I can think of some good candidates, and it shouldn't be too hard to throw together. If you are wanting talk slides, when will you need them by? We should have plenty of GNOME 3 presentation slides after GNOME.Asia...

Re: Any Shared Slides - New Features for GNOME 3.0
I really don't think the history is what is interesting to folks. They want to know what it is now. When a new president stands up, he doesn't talk about all the previous presidents, he talks about what he's going to do.

Hi, Stormy Peters wrote: I really don't think the history is what is interesting to folks. They want to know what it is now. When a new president stands up, he doesn't talk about all the previous presidents, he talks about what he's going to do. That's a nice parallel. When a new president stands up, he will usually begin by appealing to common values - our forefathers... and all that. Not history, but culture tradition. When announcing new stuff, it is usually in the context of a holistic vision - continuing the work of the past, making vision become a reality. That is the call to the past which I'd like to see. As I said, what *is* GNOME (not what was) is what people are interested in. And the cultural process values that brought us here is valuable in that context.

Fallback / Classic Mode
Hi All, This morning I saw this - http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/classic-gnome-3-beta-2-video-no-shell.html From the comments I conclude that people have no idea what the classic/fallback desktop is and how it relates to G3. Another conclusion could be; that humanity is doomed. Perhaps the marketing team could address the first point.

Re: Fallback / Classic Mode
Hey John, This is a sore point indeed, GNOME Shell won't run on VirtualBox (the only cross-platform/user-friendly/ opensource desktop virtualization app), same for KVM (I don't know what's the state for VMWare though). This really troubles me, a lot of people these days (certainly a lot of Mac guys) run Linux on a VM, at the same time, the Unity guys have managed to get their stuff running on top of the VirtualBox 3D driver. I do not know what is going on at the technical side (probably clutter requiring OpenGL extensions VirtualBox doesn't implement), but certainly something worth investigating with the clutter guys. Then again, I think we should keep the fallback mode as close to the 2.x look as possible tbh to avoid confusion. Maybe showing a startup splash explaining it the first time it falls back.
