Title:
Change file icon action opens file chooser far from icons
Status in Nautilus:
Fix Released
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
All naive (and most savvy) users will find it extremely hard to find
icons to customize the appearance of an entry in Nautilus.
When the entry is right clicked, the properties popup shows the
present icon as a button that has to be clicked on in order to choose
a new icon. Whether that is obvious enough or not is not the problem,
however. The problem is that clicking on the button, far from offering
a sensible set of icons to choose from, simply opens a file chooser
poiniting at the user's home page.
I'd venture than less than 1% of the users will be able to find that
the alternative icons hang in a confusing jumbled tree from
/usr/share/icons.
Possible solution:
The file chooser should open on the relevant subdirectory of the
usr/share/icons tree, if possible in a pictorial view of the icons instead of a
dry list of files.
