To be clear, the term "fork" usually refers to a split in development that no longer merges in changes from the other side, which is not what I'm proposing here. Instead, I'm hoping that if we had a patch to restore type-ahead find, Ubuntu would include and maintain it just as it already maintains various patches for other GNOME programs. The patch might not be trivial, but maybe it wouldn't be that hard to maintain once it's been written once.
Of course, I don't work for Ubuntu, so only they can say whether they would actually accept a patch like this. But in comment #22 above, Sebastien (who works for Canonical) wrote "for the record we do agree that this bug is annoying and would like to fix, we just need to deal with what we have". Given that, I'm hopeful that they would take a patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1164016/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
