IMHO, the issue is that users both use shortcuts from the menu, and have to browse the filesystem. If we use "Home" as a shortcut label in the menu, they may think that browsing to /home using Nautilus will lead them to the same place as the "Home" shortcut -> usability issue.
BTW, making a bridge between Windows approach and Ubuntu/Gnome one may be a good idea, to make new Ubuntu users' life easier : the "My documents" concept is very well known and understood. The only way to addresse both of these issues (help users to make a link between the menu shortcut and their filesystem "~" directory + be "wording-compatible" with Windows) , is to use both the username and "documents" term in the shortcut label. This would give "Yann's documents", for example. -- "Home Folder" has 3 different names https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
