So the discussion went wrong. One parties do not really want to understand the other parties. To understand someone, one needs to empty his cup, listen to other and then he can get a snap of perspective that others want or is saying.
GNOME is nice, lots of developer contributed it, and this is one of the example of successful community driven opensource project. But it is not perfect yet and never will be. So you keep making it better and better, towards perfection. This is how you should vision your product or tool. If not, then its totally guided by closed groups of people who want to force some patterns and features which which others didn't like. Leaders and other enthusiasts should listen to what and why other people asking for some features, enhancements and tools? Simply pointing out the solution as to use terminal or other script is not really solution, but you are driving the discussion in different way showing your expertise. You like commandline, I like commandline, but for obvious task, I do not use commandlines always. If I am in nautilus, and if I have to rename a directory, I will not go open a terminal and rename it there. Rather I will Right Click->Rename or use F2. Why you think Microsoft and Apple are making it better and better and a simple user does not really has to use the terminal in these OS for any of their work. So suggesting to use terminal is not really the solution as it was asked in this discussion, its just you pretend to show your geekiness. If you think that was missed, just accept is. But you are acting like stubborn. I really do not want to hurt feelings here, but i want to show you want I am perceiving it at my end. Thank you.
