Most "rookie" users I know, rename files by right clicking and selecting 'rename' (both on WIndows and on Ubuntu). More savvy ones press F2. The click, wait, then click again pattern falls somewhere in between - I personally find it annoying and avoid it (hence like Gnome), but others swear by it.
Maybe a usability study would shed some light here. Adding more options is somewhat like saying "we don't know, decide yourself", which clashes somewhat with Gnome standards. -- Cannot rename by clicking on a file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
