@David: thanks for your comment, some notes on the topic: - " Who was responsible for this questionable UI choice in the first place? Was it done to be gratuitously"
why do you assume it was "done" (e.g that work was spent to have it the current way)? could it be rather than the issue is that nobody contributed the code to implement the behaviour you are asking for there? - "where you think that...is a good idea?" who stated the current way is a good one or even an "idea"? it looks rather like a missing feature - Ubuntu doesn't write nautilus, we just distribute it, if you want to reach the people making the software you should comment on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439991 To go back to the bottom of the topic, the idea seems a good one and Ubuntu (and probably the people writing the software upstream) would probably review and apply a patch implementing it so if you know anyone interested to help there... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48671 Title: Cannot rename by clicking on a file Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: In Windows explorer, clicking a file and then clicking once more on the file name will enter "rename file" mode. Nautilus doesn't do this. Isn't it a useful feature to have?
