[Bug 859723] Re: Nautilus appearance without colour or theme

2011-10-19 Thread kikl
The Xsession-errors is added to the bug report. It says over and over
again: Im Modulpfad »pixmap« konnte keine Themen-Engine gefunden
werden, which means in English: No theme engine could be found in the
module path pixmap. I used the standard ubuntu theme.

2010-04-18 Thread kikl
I support the idea. If the file is older than a month, you probably have
forgotten all about it. So deleting it automatically would probably be
uncritical. It would be a great option for automatically managing the
trash. In case you do need to untrash a file, it is more easily found. A
true usability improvement in my mind.

I set up a jabber-account in empathy and joined the ubuntu-chatroom
ubuntu-jabber.de in order to test video-telephony of empathy. On the
right side of the conversation window was a window showing participants
of the chat. I asked a participant, whether I could call him in order to

Yes, I removed that. Empathy tried to log into facebook over and over

[Bug 524979] [NEW] Ripping Audio CD - Changing VBR does not affect file size

2010-02-20 Thread kikl
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I navigated to edit - preferences - music player preferences. Then I
chose the preferred format: CD Quality MP3.

Then, I chose to edit the preferred format.

This was the default command line:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-
quality=6 ! id3v2mux

I ripped a CD using this setting. Then I changed the setting to:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-
quality=2 ! id3v2mux

So, the variable bit rate quality was changed from 6 to 2. I expected
the size of the files to change accordingly. However, the ripped files
have exactly the same size. The bitrate of the mp3-files is in both
cases 128 kbps for each and every file.

My conclusion: The lame settings cannot be changed. The audio-files are
ripped with a constant bit rate, not a variable bit rate.

I think this is a bug, because if you let the user edit the quality
settings, then the changes should have an effect. Furthermore, the
default settings for lame in CD-quality should be reasonable, i.e. the
recommended settings, namely a virtual bit rate (not a constant bit
rate) and the quality setting should be transparent, i.e. VBR-quality=2
or 3!

Here's my reference:
http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME

Well, otherwise I am very pleased with rhythmbox! The GUI is beautiful
and straight-forward. I appreciate your work a lot and hope that this
bug report may help you improve rhythmbox even more. Editing the
gstreamer command lines (right expression?) is pretty geeky, but I guess
this is brand new and your still working on it!

kikl

The computer suddenly reboots/switches user, when opening evolution. This
happens completely randomly. It doesn't matter whether I use the panel, docky

[Bug 95853] Re: Add an option to get a confirmation dialog before deleting files in Nautilus

2009-11-01 Thread kikl
Well, you already get a confirmation if you want to delete the trash-
bin. So you are asking for two confirmations instead of one. The
question is: If one confirmation does not prevent you from deleting the
trash, why should a second confirmation make a difference? IMHO it
doesn't. It's just bloat.

But, I don't object to the way it's supposed to be implemented. It's an
additional option. The default behaviour isn't changed. So you can
enable it if you like joel.

Finally, I agree with nomnex - although he could have been a little more
polite - this issues has been completely overblown and is not very
important. Ubuntu folks should not wast any more time with this topic.

[Bug 48671] Re: Cannot rename by clicking on a file

2009-08-12 Thread kikl
@David

In principle, you're proposal may makes sense, -first click on the icon,
second on the label- but I think in practice this is what is going to
happen:

When I  click on a file in Windows to rename I just click 'frantically'
on the label until I can it.

Why do I think so? Well, because in general a certain visible icon has
particular functions. Functions are activated by single or double
clicking on the visible icon.  These functions exist irrespective of any
other visible icon. This is the case for all other icons or fields on
any GUI I can think of.  According to your proposal, the label field
doesn't have a function first. It acquires a certain function after
pressing a different field, the icon field. This kind of implementation
deviates completely from everything else the user has learned about
graphical interfaces. That is: A visible graphical field has a
particular function independent of any other visible graphical field.
Now, if a user accidently trips over the rename by click function, he
won't understand why he can activate it sometimes and sometimes not.
Effect: frantic clicking! This implementation is non-intuitive and very
difficult to learn since it deviates from the general behaviour of guis.

I haven't tested this, so this is merely an educated guess. But I think
there are good reasons to believe that this is not going to work well.

Therefore, I believe, the rename field must be separate and distinct
from the browsing field. The rename field must have the function
rename. The browsing field must have the function open folder. You
rename by clicking on the rename field. You browse by clicking on the
browsing field. If the rename and browsing fields are too close
together, then a double click on the browsing field may easily
accidently trigger the rename field. So they must be distinct and
separate.

I've made a proposal how you can implement this in list view. Draw a
line between the icons and respective labels. Provide a safe distance
between icons and names. The icon is the browsing field. the label is
the renaming field.

Providing a safe distance between label and icon in icon view is going
to be awkward. But someone else made a good proposal here. If you single
click an icon, an additional field is shown providing a preview and
additional information about the selected icon. This information field
is separate and distinct from the browsing icon. The information field
contains a label field, which may be edited.

I don't know for sure whether users are going to be happier with these
proposals. So testing them - say in a beta release - and asking for
feedback and evaluating feedback prior to implementation is very
important. I'm glad that you think the windows implementation must be
improved. This is definitely so, since multiple users have complained
about it.

@raronson

The way it is implemented in windows is a usability regression and
should not be implemented in gnome. #63 user j made a great proposal,
which would cater to the wishes of two-slow-click-proponents (it's not
single click!, not a double-click!) without the inherent drawbacks

be used for both displaying more detailed information about the selected

[Bug 95853] Re: Add an option to get a confirmation dialog before deleting files in Nautilus

2009-07-13 Thread kikl
@Holger Berndt, I like it, I think it's a good idea!

@mac_v thanks for your support.

@all: Instead of a notification, maybe we could add a permanent undo
/redo-feature, which looks and works like in open office. It should be
familiar to most users and works fast and easy. Nodody would be bothered
by windows popping up and Diego would have a fast and easy way to
recover files from the trash bin - and even more! Some more food for
thought, this probably goes way beyond a papercut Well, thanks for
listening and good luck to Ubuntu's usability team. You shall succeed!

Hi diego,

Just keep you're home tidy and you wont have a problem finding stuff.
The same goes for your computer, in particular your trash bin. If you've
got hundreds of files in your trash bin, then it is high time to clean
up the place. Do it, it's your responsibility. If you refuse to clean up
your trash bin, you can enter the file name into the search bar. That's
reasonably fast, isn't it? So no one is penalizing the user for a small
mistake. The user has all the possibilities for correcting his mistake.
The user is just expected to be a grown up person, who acts responsibly.

If you've got notifications popping up all the time, you wont pay any
attention to them and it won't solve your problem. Eventually you will
be looking into the trash bin because the notification wasn't noticed.
That's my opinion and my experience with windows vista. Maybe usability
tests can confirm or refute this. I don't know. As long as these
notifications can be suppressed or disappear automatically in a
reasonable amount of time, I would live with it. If I had to click them
each and every time in order for them to disappear, I would start
cursing the computer and eventually look for another distribution, but
that's just me... Maybe other people love clicking notifications, but I
doubt it.

Regards,

kikl

 specially if the warning before deleting files is to be removed as per
 this bug proposal.

[Bug 386150] Re: Nautilus file browser toolbar is complicated, redundant, and ugly

2009-06-30 Thread kikl
Loading thumbnails is only sluggish if you want a preview of the images.
You can switch that off under edit preferences preview. Then you get to
see the respective icons instantly. Even if it takes time to load the
previews, you can browse the file manager, while the previews are
loading, because the icons of the respective files are instantly
visible. The icons are gradually exchanged by the previews. So that
doesn't hinder you from navigating through the files. If you're opening
a folder with thousands of files, you could also choose list view or
compact view, which loads much quicker and is easier to navigate. So
there are plenty workarounds at the moment

Make customizable panel with minimalistic default arrangement. That
would be satisfactory in this direction of discussion...

I completely agree with this approach. This is how it should be done.
The default GUI should be minimalistic, such that the novice or casual
user may easily understand it. Power users or users with specific needs
and wishes should have the option to customize the interface according
to their needs. There is no single solution that fits everybody. If you
try to do that, you get a cluttered interface nobody likes.

The working undo feature is the trash bin! You could pop up a
notification, which disappears automatically, saying: You have just
deleted..., you can recover it from the trash bin. Once people get used
to this, they will not pay any attention to the notification, but at
least it doesn't distract your workflow.

Then someone will want a louder and larger notification, possibly an
emergency siren, a nuclear bomb, or a collapsing star. Once they get
used to that, people won't bother to listen to or look at it anymore,
. it's a vicious circle, it just doesn't work.

In conclusion, people are responsible for what they do and if you empty
your garbage bin without checking the content, then that's your fault,
take the blame! You did it even though you were explicitly warned! This
notification didn't work, so why should an additional notification make
a difference? How many warnings do you need?

I would like to have the option not to have this notification pop up in
the future, because I know what the garbage bin is for. Most people
migrating from microsoft know this anyhow.

@diego:

You can restore to the same folder by right clicking the file in the
garbage bin and checking restore. It's automatically restored to the
place, where it was deleted from. Unfortunately, you didn't find that,
so that should be improved too. The restore and delete permanently
options in the context menu of the trash bin should appear first, since
these are the most important commands in the trash bin. Furthermore,
there should be dedicated buttons in the GUI of the trash bin showing
these two commands only. At present you open the trash bin in nautilus,
right click the file and check restore. So it's a lot easier than what
you say. But granted, you didn't find it, so it should be improved.

I don't think your solution is really helpful. People will just stop
paying attention to the permanently reoccurring notifications you
propose and in the end whine again, when they do something wrong. It's
not me, it's the stupid machine, which should have warned me, grief
I completely deleted the trash bin in spite of the warning, because I
never check it's content, why should I, the machines fault...grief
grief

But, I grant you, that your solution is a lot better than having those
confirmation buttons pop up everywhere. I hate that passionately! I'm a
grown up person and don't want to be treated by this machine like an
imbecile by continually being reminded of the same damn thing each and
every time. In particular, the notification should disappear
automatically and reasonably fast without the user having to interact
with it...

[Bug 48671] Re: Cannot rename by clicking on a file

2009-06-28 Thread kikl
I thought about how this feature could be implemented without  annoying
users. There is no apparent logic behind the second click for changing
the file name. Therefore, this doesn't make any sense and it's difficult
to learn and get used to, IMHO. I never got used to it after years of
working with MS windows.

Instead the file name should be a dedicated and visible field separate
from the icon but connected to the icon. The outlines of the name field
must be visible using a color or frame. So, if you single-click on the
file-name field, you edit the file name. If you click on the icon, well
the same behaviour as before, you open the folder or file. I think that
makes sense. This is essentially what cody suggested.

In list view there are several columns for different information. If you
have a dedicated column for the file name and the file itself, then it
is optically clear that these two things are not the same. Furthermore,
they are clearly and consistently separated, so chances of clicking in
the wrong column are slim. So clicking the file name - once! - should
give you the option to change the file name. If you click the
file/folder icon, then the usual things should happen. You could also
highlight the name field and not the icon field, when you move your
mouse across that field, so you have an additional optical confirmation
of what you are about to do...

One more suggestion: If you mistakenly click the file name, it's
difficult to get out of this mode, as far as I remember. You have to
turn to the keyboard and press escape or enter or click on some other
arbitrary item. That's just something you are not prepared to do, while
your clicking through folders. As a default behaviour, a second click on
the file-name field should deselect the file name.  In this case, users
shouldn't be bothered so much.

A little off-topic: I actually prefer list view because it displays the
files in an orderly fashion and you can easily switch the order, in
which everything is displayed. You can open and close particular trees.
It's very powerful and easy to use. There is one drawback. You don't
have nice previews of photos or videos as in the icon-view. It would be
nice to have a preview (only) of the selected photo/video in list view -
only for multimedia files, where it makes sense. It seems that this is
what apple is doing - well sort of...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Finder.png

Looks snazzy, but is it really better?

Good day and good luck and keep up the great work!

@flo

What makes sense in UI? For example, a trashbin for deleted files. An
envelope for an e-mail program. A places folder for the file browser,...

Oh, by the way, you can use the arrows for navigating the cursor and
that actually makes more sense than using the mouse, since you've got
your fingers on the keyboard anyway, when editing the file-name.

I don't think it's a good idea to merely copy a feature because windows
is using it, In particular if many many users complain about it. If it's
going to be copied, it should be done in such a way that it doesn't
bother a whole lot of users. It should be better than what windows has
to offer.

Following your argument, ubuntu should merely copy the windows interface
including all of it's bugs just because users are used to it. That's no
good and it wont make ubuntu No. 1 in terms of usability. So maybe you
have a suggestion, how the annoying problem can be overcome that many
users very often mistakenly start editing file names when this feature
is implemented? It really annoyed me a lot!

2009-06-28 Thread kikl
@J That's a great idea.

The side panel can actually be changed into an information side panel.
If you click on places, the second option is information. The dedicated
information field could also be combined with the preview area I talked
about earlier. So editing the file name may be done by clicking into the
information area for the selected item. You don't click into the
information field for navigating through files, so chances of mistakenly
editing the file names are next to zero. The layout of the name field
suggests that it may be edited. You can differ about the details, but
this is how it could be done, in my humble opinion.

Since the file-name is displayed anyhow in the bottom status-bar, this
status bar could be changed to include an editable name-field like the
one you proposed. It should be visually apparent that this area can
actually be edited

2009-06-27 Thread kikl
I think we have to be very careful not to copy stuff from windows, which
is actually being complained about by many many users. Vista constantly
asks you for all kinds of confirmations so much so that people don't
read any of the stuff anymore. They just blindly klick away... What good
is that?

If you accidentally delete an object, then the trashbin let's you
recover the object. That's what the trashbin is for and that's enough
protection. If you delete the trashbin without checking the content,
then that's just your fault. Or should we have a second trashbin for the
items deleted from the trashbin? This is getting absurd. You don't need
to be reminded every time that you are deleting an object. Those kind of
permanent reminders and confirmation boxes are a nuisance, IMHO. I
definitely want to switch that off, if you want to implement it. Sorry,
I get passionate about this. But please don't repeat other peoples
mistakes, just because user's have become used to these quirks.

2009-06-24 Thread kikl
Well, I want to disagree. The bread crumbs are really great! A coherent
look would be better. Give the bread crumbs a frame and the same color
as the folder they represent. If you display the url-bar in text form,
then why not display the url-bar as coherent bread crumbs? You display
the same information without using more space and additionally you have
the option to navigate using the bread crumbs without cluttering the GUI
with additional stuff. The bread crumbs provide the same functionally as
the up button and even more. Therefore, the up button can go. So the
bread crumbs actually save space on the interface and provide additional
navigating options.

In my opinion, the GUI should only display those commands most commonly
used. The cut/copy/paste/delete commands are more important than back,
forward, up. You can easily navigate through the folders without any of
these commands. The file manager should automatically display the
present content of the folder, which renders the refresh button useless.
If a file transfer takes a bit longer, a pop up window should appear
with the option of stopping the file transfer.

I do agree that computer should be removed from the main tool bar and
displayed in the side bar. Home should be removed altogether, because
it's already contained in the side-bar, but not called home, instead
it carries your user name. That's a bug too.

The list view is useful, if you need additional information about your
files. This information could be displayed in the bottom of the GUI,
which merely displays the name and size of the selected file. You could
also display the type and date modified of the selected file

I think usability and simplicity go hand in hand. Therefore, the
interface should be as simple as possible. It should only contain the
commands you really need 99% of the time. Additional options should be
accessible form the menus. Customizing the interface is good, in
particular for power users with specific needs. But don't clutter the
interface with commands, which would help the power user, but would make
the novice turn his back on Ubuntu.

The gnome desktop is, a no-nonsense straight forward interface. Nautilus
should be just like that.

Good Luck and keep up the great work!

replaces the location bar and a new location bar is displayed below
search results indicating the location of search. That's just too

I think it's a great idea to have the file browser look like and work
just like the standard internet browser. Simplifying and cleaning up the
interface is a great idea. But, I do think you can make exceptions. The
wording below the icons doesn't distract much and helps the absolute
novice. You could include the option to make the words disappear for
more experienced users.

But, there is one aspect of the file-browser that differs from the
internet-browser, which I find quite disturbing. The search field is not
positioned next to the location field and it doesn't have it's own
dedicated search-area. Instead, the search field replaces the location
area or uses the location area as it's search area, when you press it. I
find that quite confusing.

I would suggest implementing the search field just like in the firefox
browser and deleting the icon view tab from the ui, since this is
something you don't really change that often, at least I don't. The icon
view could simply be another point in the folder view.

Thanks for your great work and I hope you achieve your goal in beating
OS-X in terms of usability;-) You can make it!

Well, if you ask me, this proposal is actually my preferred design:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28077867/Nautilus_mockup_2-zoom_down.png

File transfer on a desktop is a lot faster than over the internet. Most
of the time, the stop and refresh buttons are not used, so I think they
can be hidden in the menus. The up button isn't necessary, because the
location bar gives you even more options instantly and it's always
there. Icon view is something you usually only choose once and then
stick with your choice. Therefore, it is right to remove it from the
GUI. The interface takes up less space and is less complex, that's
great!

I thought about the text below the icons. You could let short
descriptions automatically appear, when the mouse is moved and held
above the icon. Saves space and has no apparent disadvantages.

Tabbed-browsing is implemented the chrome way? It looks really nice. Lat
but not least, there is a dedicated search field  just like in firefox.
I like it!

Some criticism:

The idea of showing buttons for copy/cut and paste is brilliant -
credits to Chieffo! - because that's what you mainly do in the file
browser. I think these three commands could be squeezed between the
navigation buttons and the location bar. That way, they would be easily
accessible.

A little off topic:

If you want to drag and drop, you need to show the tabs side by side and
not on top of each other. O.K. now you can drag a file to another tab by
dragging it to the part of the tab (the top of the tab) that is actually
being displayed. But that doesn't appear intuitive to me. I think there
should be an option for automatically arranging the tabs next to each
other rather than on top of each other. Or shouldn't that be the default
behavior of tabs in a file browser? Well, I usually use the context
menu, but mum would never find out...

O.K that's more than enough! Cheers and good luck!

Hi Till, thanks a lot for your help.

I moved the document using sudo mv into the directory
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops and renamed the original pdftops into
pdftops2. I used the command chmod 755 as indicated by you. When I look
at the file properties it says Allow executing file as program.
However, user of the file is not root but me. Furthermore, the file type
is shell script (application/x-shellscript), whereas the original file
type is shared library (application/x-sharedlib). These differences
probably account for the fact that the change hasn't improved anything.
It is probably quite simple for some to change the file type and user of
the file. However, it would take me at least an hour to find out using
ubuntu-wiki. Maybe you could just briefly tell me the necessary

Well, this problem was first reported in 2006, three years ago. The
proposed solution appears to be straightforward. Evince could simply use
lpr for printing adobe files. For the application evince, it's a huge
bug, because pdf is the standard document format and printing pdfs
should be supported flawlessly by a document viewer. For Ubuntu, it's an
important problem too since, hey, evince is the standard document viewer
shipped with Ubuntu. Viewing and printing pdf documents is something I
do quite a lot. I hope the responsible developers address this problem

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I'm using nautilus 2.24.1. on my desktop computer running ubuntu 8.10.
The computer is connected to a synology diskstation DS107+ via a router.
The diskstation is my file server. The server name on the network is
diskstation. The diskstation is not displayed, in network:/// or smb:///
on nautilus. If I enter smb://diskstation/ the folders on the
diskstation are not displayed. However, once I enter
smb://diskstation/foldername/ I can access the files on the diskstation.

So, apparently, the file server is working, but nautilus isn't
displaying the top level folders as it should.

I hope you can fix this.

Regards

Kikl
