2012-03-28 Thread Alex Bruce
yes with Nautilus.

You are right I should have confirmed it a bit more. Closing Nautilus
windows and reopening and issue was gone.

Although right clicking and clicking including left draging then right
clicking quickly after caused me to recreate the problem although this
time with the Zoom Out item in the right click menu in blank space..
again the cleared after closing the window

Then again seemingly random with one of the Open With application
items.

seems to be hard to reproduce reliably. any tips?

Re: [Bug 966975] Re: Right Click - Copy item is different Font on highlight/mouseover

2012-03-28 Thread Alex Bruce
Sorry, yes rather confusing.

Basically in an effort to try and make the issue occur again I was:

- Create folder.. right click.. scroll up and down
- Left click drag folder and immediately right click afterwards (in blank
space or on another folder).
- Left then immediately right click in blank space or on a folder
- right click on bread crumb names also and other aspects of Nautilus
- perform all of these in combination over a length of time

All of this brought mixed results and like I say haven't found a specific
method to reproduce the issue. It did happen again, this time with right
click on bread crumb folder and the second to last item changed alignment
when highlighting.

Strange issue. Can further debugging logs be utilised?

[Bug 499708] Re: Rhytmbox: I can't seek the progress bar doesn't move along the song

2010-01-03 Thread Alex Bruce
affecting me. may be related to Bug #284612

music plays as normal and moves on once finished etc but you cannot use
the progress bar at all (some may call it a seek bar maybe).

restarted rhythmbox a number of times. no luck. restarted pulseaudio as
indicated in the related bug. no luck. restarted pc and bug is still
present!!

I am using fully patched ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix edition on a eeepc
701. the problem dos not effect totem at all. pulseaudio seems to be
working ok with all the usual controls.

i dont use rhythmbox often but im sure ive used it without this bug.

2010-01-03 Thread Alex Bruce
ok upon further investigation.

i tried the same on a fresh new user and the problem didnt occur for the
test user. so obviously something user profile/settings related

back under my normal user, I noted that in the list each song listed its
time as unknown also. obviously rhythmbox needs this data to provide
the progress/seek bar. so removed all music in the list, restarted
rhythmbox and re-added through the normal import folder method and all
the times came back and progress bar works fine.

well that solved my issue anyway.

[Bug 15495] Re: Archive Manager doesn't mean anything if you don't know what an archive is

2009-10-15 Thread Alex Bruce
Interesting Paper Cut

I just thought I would add something in regards to the windows world
that is mentioned throughout

I think its slightly incorrect to think of the Send To -- Compressed
(zipped) folder dialog as universally used under windows. Ever since
zip files were handled by XP released in 2002-2003, I still run across
people who still think they need to install Winzip\Winrar or whatever
app to create\open zip files.

It is not very well advertised in the OS and people are most still using
windows as if its windows 98 and nothing has changed. eg still need
Winzip (shareware woot!) installed.. still need Nero installed to create
a simple data CD

So using this as the standard for how things should be implemented is
not entirely correct. I do think the windows way is more seamless than a
separate application though and ill usually just install 7zip on windows
(for myself and other users) to handle other archive formats (and more
advanced zip file creation) but leave windows as the associated app for
zip and cab files.

Still how it is implemented at the moment in Ubuntu is great. I do think
there should be less abstraction involved with dealing with archive
files (eg make them look like a folder with all the same operations as
mentioned above) BUT they still need to be recognized as files to the
user and it needs to be obvious that they are archive files so the user
can make decisions based on that

on the topic at hand.. I think Compress file\s... is only slightly
better than Create Archive. Most people would think that one zip
file will be created when clicking this... I doubt a majority of people
will think if they click this they will create many compressed files or
something silly like that

2009-10-15 Thread Alex Bruce
Another quick thought

are the words zip zipped unzip etc patented but Winzip in some
way?

so to use these words as a generic term for all compression, as apposed
to just referring to a zip file (compressed in zip format etc), may mean
its possible for Ubuntu to be sued for patent\brand usage etc (I'm not a
lawyer but yeah that bollocks stuff).

Windows has obviously paid out over these patent issues so can use
zipped in there dialogs

[Bug 382703] Re: Home Folder has 3 different names

2009-08-07 Thread Alex Bruce
Just reading some of the comments (including johnk above) I think some
people are confused over what is being discussed.

the convention /home/username (ie username= johns therefore home =
/home/johns) isnt going anywhere. this will always be the case as every
username on a Linux system must be unique therefore every folder is
unique. This is the same for Windows and Mac

This is just to discuss how it is refereed to in the Places menu or
other locations, just the name of the Launcher effectively.

Personally I think it should be a standard name such as Home. I can
understand the multi-language problems but am wondering if completely
different words can be used (not just a direct translations of the word
Home). Sorry I don't speak any other languages so cant provide any
examples, the philistine that I am. 8)

The main reason I +1 to Home is support. telling someone (over the
phone etc) to go to their home folder, if the home folder is called
JohnS etc will confuse some people.

Ive come across this when supporting Windows users when the environment
was changed that every My Computer Icon was renamed to the hostname of
the computer. This meant a lot of users just didn't even know where they
were going and asking them to go to My Computer meant they couldn't
find it. Some users were fine with it but it caused a lot of problems.

really the Home Folder should be the same place relative to any user
that uses an Ubuntu PC. Just like in the terminal any user can type cd
~ and they are taken Home. Although it is a different folder name
(/home/username etc) obviously for every user, the user should never
have to think that it is a different folder.

There are some other advantages as well. Although not a common operation
you might want to use a copy of a home folder generated under UserA for
UserB (similar to editing the /etc/skel folder). although this can be
worked around by other means (as a lot of things can in Linux) there is
a chance that the username references, UserA, will remain in the now
UserB profile complicating the process.

anyway +1 for Home
