[Bug 1807640] [NEW] "Join displays" causes desktop icons to behave badly

2018-12-09 Thread Endolith
Public bug reported:

1. Enable "Join displays" in the Displays settings
2. Drag the displays so that they are staggered
3. Set the right side display to Primary
4. Right-click the desktop and select "Organize desktop by name"

Problem 1: The icons will all move to the secondary display instead of the 
Primary display
Problem 2: The icons will extend beyond the screen, into the empty space caused 
by the staggering.

[Bug 11334] Re: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste

2011-03-07 Thread Endolith
 I seem to be in the wrong place. I came here looking for a GNU/Linux
distro (am I allowed to say GNU on an Ubuntu site, or is that
censored?)

Ubuntu might not be the right OS for you.  You might prefer something
with GNU in the title and a 1970s command line instead of an
interface, with a picture of RMS in the boot screen instead of a
penguin.  I don't see why all these people start using Ubuntu and then
complain about how it's becoming too easy to use and too similar to
other OSes.  Just use a different distro!  Stop trying to sabotage
Ubuntu's success with archaic crap.

 So the question is, if you're all so enamoured with Windows and the
Mac, why don't you just stick to those operating systems

No no no.  I used Ubuntu for 4 years and I'm *fed up* with it, so I
*switched* to Windows.  I'm not *sticking* with it.  I'm *switching* to
it.  Different.

 instead of trying to pervert GNU/Linux into the very thing people
switch to GNU/Linux to get away from?

Yeah, people are switching to Linux in droves, and the primary reason is
because the clipboard in Windows just works too damn well.  What they're
really craving is a clipboard that forgets everything when you close the
app.

And why am I still getting notifications for this bug when I've
unsubscribed from it and other duplicates?  :(

And why does Launchpad allow people to argue and leave advocacy comments
and other irrelevant noise like this, which is then sent to every one of
the subscribers?  There should be a way for users to mod up or down the
relevancy of comments, so the irrelevant ones are minimized and the bug
listing isn't crapped up with 260 comments that don't help fix the bug.

[Bug 593126] [NEW] Should be a way to view at original size but centered

2010-06-12 Thread Endolith
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gthumb

When taking multiple pictures of the same thing and comparing them for
blurriness, I want to view the photos at full size and flip through
them, but the focused area is in the center of the image, and gThumb,
for some reason, aligns the top left of the image with the top left of
the screen.  It would be better if the center of the image was aligned
with the center of the screen, and the edges (which usually don't
contain anything of interest anyway), were off-screen.

[Bug 538165] Re: Lucid reads file size wrong

2010-05-12 Thread Endolith
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 538783 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538783

Asif Youssuff, I disagree with you wholeheartedly.  I think that
changing SI units to IEC units everywhere would be wrong-headed,
illogical, and would create more confusion, and I am happy that Apple
took the initiative to finally work towards fixing this.  Many
technically-oriented users have very strong opinions against this, but I
don't think they're objective or logical.  It's just a matter of
perspective:

* If you were taught in an 80s computer course that KB = 1024 B, you
will think that this is the only true definition.  You will think of
Windows file sizes, memory sizes, and 5.25 inch floppy disk sizes as
correct, and everything else as wrong.  The evil hard drive, flash
drive, and DVD manufacturers are all in on a conspiracy to defraud you,
Apple is in league with the devil for using marketroid measurements for
file sizes, etc.

* If, on the other hand, you are a scientist or engineer or European,
and were taught the metric system first, you will think that it is the
only true definition.  Hard drive, DVD, processor speed, networking
rate, and other measurements are correct and logical, and the K = 1024
definition is a weird aberration created by early computer marketing
types so that they could say 32 + 32 = 64 instead of 65 when talking
with laymen.  (See Donald Morrison 1968)

* If, on the other other hand, you're an average computer user without a
technical background, you don't know or care about the discrepancy
between the two units, but you'll occasionally run into problems like
trying to fit 4.7 GiB of data on a 4.7 GB DVD.

2010-04-18 Thread Endolith
Isn't this by design?  Thumbnails *should* be bigger than icons.
They're thumbnails.

If a row consists only of icons, it's narrower, so that screen real
estate isn't wasted with giant icons when small icons are equally
legible.  I believe Windows 7 does the same thing, and it should be left
as is.

It's not marketing spin.   It's the international standard system of
units that has been used for hard drives, networking speeds, processor
speeds, DVDs, Blu-Ray, and many other things since the beginning of
time.  kilo- = 1,000, mega- = 1,000,000, ...

Also, it's more user-friendly and just makes a lot more sense than the
Windows way of doing things, where a drive that holds 300,000,000,000
bytes is displayed as 279.4 GB in one place and 286,102 MB in
another.  It's nonsensical.

This is a good change.

2010-03-13 Thread Endolith
In this case, though, CDs have always, unlike hard disks, been labelled
in binary megabytes, and my opinion is that it would be against the
spirit of the new units policy (even if not its letter) to quote CD
image sizes in decimal megabytes.

Yes.  DVDs are measured in decimal, though, and that was causing even
more confusion for people who couldn't fit 4.4 GB on a 4.7 GB disk.

No matter what is done, the software needs a well-designed interface
that shows the user what they need to see in a given context.  I think
Brasero should show both measurements side-by-side, for instance, or
show the disk size and image size in the same units near each other.  I
don't care if you write 700 MiB or 734 MB, but please don't continue
using the erroneous 700 MB with no qualifier.

And yes, only half-fixing the problem and leaving a bunch of apps
conflicting with each other in an LTS release is not good.  (But not
really the end of the world, either, since the status quo is already
inconsistent and confusing.)

since, like it or not - and I don't - that's how the things are
labelled

And for the record, to present another point of view, I *like* the way
hard drives are labeled.  Decimal is what people are used to working
with in everyday life.  We don't use 1024 for anything in real life.

Writing disk and file sizes in base 2 multiples is needlessly confusing
and serves no purpose that I know of.  It doesn't simplify anything or
fit any natural sizing of the numbers.  There's nothing about hard
drives or files that lends them to binary measurements.  The only thing
that naturally comes in powers of two is memory, and we have KiB and
MiB for that.  It has never made any sense to me why people think it
preferable to label a drive that holds close to 100,000,000,000 bytes as
93 GB.  It's not logical or user-friendly, and the only rationale I've
heard for continuing to do it that way is that Windows does it that way.

The total capacity of an optical or magnetic disk isn't based on the
size of its sectors.  It's based on fitting the maximum number of bits
in the surface area of a given circle.  They aren't going to throw away
storage space just to make it an even multiple of the nearest power of
2.

sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes

How is it beneficial to display this disk to the user as 149 GB, or
152,627 MB?  What advantage is there to this convention?  How does this
make things more intuitive or convenient for the user?

160.0 GB makes a lot more sense to me.  Likewise 500 GB for a
500107862016 bytes disk, and 8.0 GB for 8040480256 bytes.

[Bug 458622] [NEW] Cannot make links on FAT partitions

2009-10-22 Thread Endolith
Public bug reported:

If I try to make a link on a FAT partition, I get this error:

Error while creating link to filename.
There was an error creating the symlink in /media/FATpartition.
Show more details
v
Error making symbolic link: Operation not permitted

1. If you can't make a link on a certain filesystem, you probably shouldn't 
even offer to.   Ctrl+Shift+Drag should show a not allowed icon instead of a 
link icon.
2. If you do let them think they can create a link, and then show an error 
message, you need to reword it.  This error message is too cryptic.
3. Better yet, there should be a way to make pseudo-links on filesystems that 
don't support linux-style symbolic links.  A .desktop file could be created 
that targets the desired location, for instance, or a Windows .lnk shortcut 
could be created.  Related ideas here: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16427/

In other words, libarchive may only support proper archives, but from
a user's perspective, .bz2 is an archive format, too.

Wikipedia's article, for instance, differentiates between Archiving
only, Compression only, and Archiving and compression formats, but
they're all under the umbrella of Archive formats, as the term is
usually used.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats

A .bz2 file can be opened from the context menu with Archive Manager,
just like a .tar.bz2.  I think it should correspondingly be mountable
from the context menu with Archive Mounter.

I'm not sure what you mean by opening the archive.  Archive Mounter
does not show up in the context menu for these files, and if you try to
make it work through Open with Other Application, it does nothing, as
far as I can tell.

Opening a .tar.bz2 immediately creates a mount point on the desktop.
Opening a .bz2 through the custom command menu does nothing.

[Bug 130997] Re: Non-Linux hidden files like Thumbs.db should be treated the same as .filename

2009-09-24 Thread Endolith
Remember there are two possibilities:

1. Reading the hidden attribute from filesystems that support it
2. Pattern-matching on commonly-hidden filenames like Thumbs.db, desktop.ini, 
~*.tmp, __MACOSX, etc. - like a global .hidden file

The kernel devs refuse to consider #1, while dfalk's patch seems to
implement #2.

Does Samba do something like #1 that could be implemented for local
filesystems?

I don't see anything on http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ about this.  The
mailing list discussion says it will be ignored, but maybe we should
file it anyway?

I don't think #2 is a bad idea at all,  though, and could probably be
extended to be part of a related idea to allow for files to be
attached to other files, with the attachments hidden by default
(book.txt~ attached to book.txt, and web_page_files attached to
web_page.html, for instance).  That might require glob-matching as well
as filename matching, though, but it's also something done on a file-
level rather than a filesystem-level.

Does the .hidden convention allow for any type of wildcard or regexp?  I
can't find documentation.

[Bug 369525] Re: Use IEC standard for binary byte units

2009-09-20 Thread Endolith
File sizes should be SI units, not IEC units.  Disks are measured in SI
units for a reason.  The disk size and file size in GLib (Nautilus
especially) should be SI units, too.  Even Apple does this now.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419

1,000 byte file = 1.0 kB
1,000,000 byte file = 1.0 MB

IEC units are for things like memory that naturally come in multiples of
a power of two, to make calculations simpler.

1,024 x 1,024 byte of memory = 1.0 MiB

[Bug 421177] [NEW] Units are wrong and internally inconsistent

2009-08-29 Thread Endolith
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Nautilus continues to use the wrong definition for units like megabyte
and gigabyte, following the broken Microsoft convention of units like MB
= 1024Ɨ1024 bytes instead of the standard 1000Ɨ1000 bytes.

The power-of-two convention needlessly confuses users, contradicts the
standard meaning of the prefixes, and serves no logical purpose.  (It
only simplifies calculations in the context of memory, which naturally
comes in powers of two.  For anything else, like a file manager, it just
adds an extra layer of complexity.)  It's inconsistent with other apps,
with the way hard drives, flash drives, DVDs, and other media are
measured, and even inconsistent with itself, as shown in the attached
image.

A 160,041,885,696 byte hard drive should be displayed as 160.0 GB.
A 4,700,372,992 byte DVD should be displayed as 4.7 GB, and you should be 
able to fit 1,000 4.7 MB files on it.
A 328,000 byte file should be displayed as 328 kB.

Even Apple has started doing it right.  (http://blog.macsales.com/1852
-snow-leopard-changes-they-way-we-look-at-gigabytes-and-megabytes-and-
kilobytes-as-well)  This is the *file manager*.  It should show file
sizes using the correct, intuitive units that users expect.

[Bug 11334] Re: Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste

2009-08-29 Thread Endolith
I've merged some other bugs about the same problem into this one as
duplicates, but I'm worried about it not copying the packages that are
affected or upstream bugs.  Do I need to manually move all those things
to this bug, too?

This is something that needs to be implemented in each individual
program, not system-wide?

[Bug 414213] [NEW] Gedit prevents shutdown if files are unsaved

2009-08-15 Thread Endolith
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit

If you have unsaved documents in Gedit, and try to shutdown, log out, or
restart, a window pops up preventing logout and asking if you want to
save your unsaved files.

Instead, it should always be saving all open files to a backup location
automatically in case of a crash, and when the computer reboots, it
should recover to the same state it was in on shutdown, using these
backup files, with a drop-down in the document's tab explaining that
it's still unsaved.  The process for recovering from a crash and
recovering from a reboot would be very similar.

[Bug 414262] [NEW] Unspecified error while trying to create a directory on a camera

2009-08-15 Thread Endolith
Public bug reported:

If you try to create a directory on a camera, it gives an error dialog:

Error while creating directory untitled folder.

There was an error creating the directory
in gphoto2://[usb:001,010]/.

v Show more details
Error creating directory: -1: Unspecified error

1. It should ideally be possible to create directories on cameras.  It's 
possible to create one on the SD card if that is plugged in alone.  If this is 
fundamentally not possible within the protocol used to talk to cameras, fine.
2. The error dialog is horrible.
a. creating directory untitled folder should be something like creating new 
directory.  Error while creating file new file. has the same problem.
b. gphoto2://[usb:001,010]/ is a nonsense location to an end user.  The 
location bar said Canon, Inc. Canon Digital Camera when they tried to create 
the directory.
c. -1: Unspecified error is obviously not helpful

 10 without any unit is supposed to mean point unit.

Well, according to that article it doesn't necessarily have any
meaningful units.

 is 13.333px better for your unit?

I'm not sure what this is asking.  I think it would be better if it the
font settings showed point units instead of being a meaningless number,
and I think point units would be better than px units.

On my screen, with 128 pixels per inch, the 8 setting is pretty good.
If I create monospace text in Firefox at 8pt or the equivalent 14.2px,
it is the same size as text in Gedit.

For some reason my DPI was set as 96 in Gnome Appearance settings, which
is totally wrong.  After changing it to the correct 128 DPI (which I
measured and which I get from xdpyinfo | grep resolution, the fonts at
10 are way too big.  I set them all to 8, and it seems to be about
right for a laptop.

Note that 10 is arbitrary and doesn't mean 10px or 10pt or

As far as I know, the only way to install plugins is to extract them and
place them in the ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins/ directory (which doesn't even

.tar.gz files (or links to such files) directly into it, like you can in
Appearance or Deskbar, and they will be downloaded and installed
automatically.  There are probably even better ways to do it.

[Bug 132812] Re: When moving, renaming, deleting files, their backup copies are not modified

2009-06-05 Thread Endolith
How about this?  We could consider the backup file to be attached to
the main file, and both would normally be shown as one icon.  If you
select the icon, it will say something like this in the status bar:

To do list.txt (and 1 hidden attachment) selected

If you then move or rename this, the backup file gets moved or renamed,
too.  If you want to work with each file separately, you can open the
context menu and click Expand, and any selected files with attachments
will be expanded to show all the actual files, with lines connecting
them to show which ones are attached.  Or we could use the Show hidden
files command to expand these into separate files.  (Or both.)  Then in
this mode you can work with each file individually if you need to.

Other possible applications:

This functionality would also be useful for HTML files with folders of
content attached.  Like in Firefox when you save as Web Page,
complete, you will get a file like My Homepage.html and a folder like
My Homepage_files which contains associated content.  In Windows,
these are treated as a group in some ways (deleting one deletes both),
but not in others (renaming pops up a dialog).  This grouped file
functionality could be used for these, too.

In OS X, extra file data (resource fork) is stored in ._whatever
files.  These could be connected to the original file, too, so that
moving or renaming files in Ubuntu maintains their metadata for later
use in OS X.

Other similar things: .info files, bundles, application directories,
...  There are probably other, better uses I'm not thinking of.

Show attachments would be better wording than Expand.  I was just
thinking of the way different IM accounts are grouped as a single user
in Pidgin.

2009-05-26 Thread Endolith
The association with Open With only configures it for your own user
profile, though, right?

How do we change the global MIME data to make this association for all
users?  I've tried to read through the documentation and can't find
this.

[Bug 114160] Re: make possible to mute sound on boot with a key combinaison

2009-05-26 Thread Endolith
Still a problem in Jaunty.   I have this sound totally disabled in
normal installations because it's so annoying and loud, but when using a
LiveCD I have no choice but to cover the laptop with a pillow every time
I reboot (which can happen a lot when debugging a boot issue.)  It's
very frustrating that you can't change the sound level until *after* the
sudden, extremely loud sound has played.

[Bug 339135] Re: [Jaunty] Should warn when battery is low

2009-05-26 Thread Endolith
Just now, battery notification popped up with a beep, and it told me the
battery was running low.  I hadn't realized that the power cord had
fallen out.  I reached for it and plugged it in within 5 seconds.

The screen lit up brighter, as it does when plugged in, the icon changed
to charging icon, but then another notification popped up warning me the
system was going to shut down anyway, which it did, losing my work in
the process.

I don't remember this as a problem in Intrepid, but thumbnails for SVG
files in Jaunty are pixelated, like they were created at low resolution
and then blown up.

[Bug 380312] Re: SVG thumbnails are pixelated

2009-05-25 Thread Endolith
It seems that the thumbnails are rendered as raster images according to
the px size in the SVG, and then the raster thumbnail is scaled up for
display.  Instead, it should render them at each display size, or at
least render them so that they fit the largest thumbnail sizes, and then
scale them down.

[Bug 380323] [NEW] Autorun icon should be shown in addition to drive icon, not in place of it

2009-05-25 Thread Endolith
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

If a drive has an autorun icon, it is displayed instead of the normal
drive icon.  I think it would be better if the autorun were an emblem of
the drive, or maybe if the autorun icon had a drive emblem.  Something
to keep it consistent with the other icons, though.
