[Bug 386150] Re: Nautilus file browser toolbar is complicated, redundant, and ugly

2009-07-07 Thread NickSpencer
Is it worth linking this bug up with the one at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/382626 as even though they're not an exact match it seems evident that an overhaul of nautilus' interface would be welcome. -- Nautilus file browser toolbar is complicated, redundant, and ugly

Why not have both in the one widget? Clickable and typeable. This would have to be done very well not to be annoying. I believe the Google Chrome browser has something like this, as does the Linkify extension for Firefox. and Better yet, why not get rid of the toggle button and make the

2009-06-12 Thread NickSpencer
It does seem odd that evince deals with it in this way fullstop. If we want to drag text on the same page, we have to select and then drag otherwise nothing happens, whereas with an embedded image it can just be dragged and will open up another version of evince with it inside. Surely if we're

I've seen this as well - confused the hell out of me when it first happened and I'm not a novice. I have an application form that looks like page of text but is actually a page sized image, accidentally swiping the mouse pad caused evince to grey out (compiz) for a good minute before opening

2009-03-10 Thread NickSpencer
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus When viewing the properties on a file in nautilus, the basic pane consists of a number of pieces of information such as name, type, size etc. It has a location: entry as well but for long paths this information is useless as it is 'ellipsised'
