@Lonnie: you seem to be a power user and have your workflow, that's fine but that's just an anecdotic example ;-)
Just as a counter-example, I've been using Ubuntu for 10 years, I do use nautilus to manage files but I've used that feature. - I access music albums or photo collections through rhythmbox or shotwell usually. - If you double click on an image it opens in eog which has a "gallery" which lists all the images from the current directory - you can easily dnd a directory to totem, or open the directory, select all and right-click/open with Everyone has a different workflow I guess ;-) Note that you wrote "For the sake of intuitiveness, always provide a contextual menu for each element graphically displayed", user testing shows that context menu are not "intuitive" for most users. As written on one of the duplicate, there is no right/wrong there, but a balance between too many options making the menu difficult to parse/use and having the useful options easily available. I'm unsure how used that feature is/how good the workaround are considered by most user (dnd, select-all -> right click on the selection) and I don't know if we have a good way to get useful datas on such questions... -- 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/1026254 Title: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Note, bug has been open long enough to be fixed so who cares ... - If you wish this back, ppa here - https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/nauty-open This rev removed the context option. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/nautilus/master-git/revision/16061 While unlikely to be reconsidered upstream I know many Ubuntu users find the option handy.
