[Bug 784804] Re: Left clicking Nautilus launcher icon fails to open a Nautilus file explorer window when copying a file and all other Nautilus windows are closed
@John, At UDS, we had decided that the Nautilus launcher icon will contain a quicklist item Open a New Window (see spec [1]) which will open a new file browser window in any case. The solution given by you would bring inconsistency. When a file copy operation is under progress, a small copy dialog is always open. If someone moves focus to another window, and then wants to check out the progress again, then he/she would click the launcher icon, thinking that it'd bring the file copy dialog in the foreground (this is the current behavior). But if we implement a solution as per the bug description, clicking the launcher icon in such a case would open a new window, and hence there would be no easy way to go to the file copy progress dialog. Hence I request you to re-consider a solution for this bug. I'd myself prefer the Quicklist solution as mentioned in the spec [1].

** Description changed: When using unity you can open only one home folder nautilus. Want another window ? go to file-New window. Now let's assume I'm copying a large file that takes a few minutes to process, now I close nautilus. The file operations dialog is still running. Now Unity thinks home folder is activated because of the file operation dialog. Want a new window browser ? out of lack file operations don't have a file menu. if no shortcut on the desktop need to run nautilus from the terminal not so sleek. Regards Roi Illouz -- Desired resolution: - If a file copy operation is taking place and all Nautilus explorer - windows are closed, left clicking on the Nautilus icon in the Launcher - should open a new Nautilus explorer window. + - Copying a file should never every spawn a Nautilus 'file copy in progress window'. File copying/moving should happen in the background without any user visible window. + - When a file copy is in progress, the Nautilus Launcher icon should display the Launcher progress emblem (this should show the overall progress of all copy actions currently in flight) + - Add a option to the Nautilus quicklist titled Cancel all in-progress actions. When no Nautilus actions are in progress the option should be displayed in the inactive state, switching to the active state at the same time the 'progress emblem' appears when a copy or move action begins. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784804 Title: Left clicking Nautilus launcher icon fails to open a Nautilus file explorer window when copying a file and all other Nautilus windows are closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/784804/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

John, the indicator in panel that raise the dialog will be preserved? I ask this because that dialog has some important information (like transfer rate, estimated remaining time, the detailed info about all actions in progress, the possibility to cancel each of them individually, etc.). Simply drop this dialog doesn't look like a good idea. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784804 Title: Left clicking Nautilus launcher icon fails to open a Nautilus file explorer window when copying a file and all other Nautilus windows are closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/784804/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
