Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
Hi Currently in dapper (gnome 2.14) saved searches are stored as an icon in your desktop with the extension .savedSearch. This should work exactly the same as .desktop files. Since .desktop files don't show their ".desktop" extension in gnome's UI I think savedSearches should work the same. The main problem I see here is that currently savedSearches are an xml file whereas .desktop files are text files with pairs of data (like a bundle resource), example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ cat linux.savedSearch <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <query version="1.0"> <text>linux</text> </query> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ cat DebConf\ 6.desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=enlace hacia DebConf 6 Type=Link URL=http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2006/debconf6/ Icon=gnome-fs-bookmark I don't know if this is a problem for nautilus. Right now if I remove the extension the savedSearch link doesn't work. Another problem I see with this scheme is that the extension has been hardcoded in english, and a foreign user doesn't have to understand what "savedSearch" means, so the extension isn't very usefull for all end users. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- saved searches should hide their filetype https://launchpad.net/bugs/58711 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
