[Bug 1026254] Re: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back
One decent existing use-case for this feature is the baobab program (that is useful to a broad user-base, not just power-users), which helps people see their disk usage, and get rid of unneeded large files. It would also apply to any other application that operates on folders. Without this feature in Nautilus, a user is forced to (1) locate / remember the name of the baobab program and run it, and (2) select an open folder item from within the application and navigate to wherever the desired folder to act on is. This is terribly inefficient in comparison with just right clicking on a folder that you are already viewing in Nautilus. The same would apply to any software that is developed to operate on a folder instead of just a file. One other argument for this is in terms of consistency -- the way you do something with a file in Nautilus should be consistent with the way you do something with a folder -- then there's less to remember about how to do things. -- 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/1026254 Title: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1026254/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1026254] Re: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back
I've done my best to advocate the usefulness of this feature. The main thing I will tell you, is that after you've discovered this feature, you can't go back. My own philosophy on software advancement places priority on two (potentially mutually exclusive) priorities: 1) For the sake of intuitiveness, always provide a contextual menu for each element graphically displayed. Doing so, allows the user to answers the question: What are all the things I do with this thing?. Another way of saying this is: Place functionality near as possible to the graphical representation of the thing that the functionality is about. Doing this is most intuitive, and will eliminate mouse travel. 2) Always strive to eliminate the number of steps required to achieve a task, and do this in a manner that does not compromise the intuitiveness (the obviousness) of how to perform that task. In this use case, we have user browsing through their file system with Nautilus. They come across a folder containing a hierarchy of music files. The user decides he would like to recursively enqueue this folder's files into his favorite music player. Due to principle #1, the most intuitive way to do this (giving context and nearness) is to place an option in the context menu that will allow him to recursively enqueue this folder into the application of his choice. This method also fulfills principle #2, because it eliminates these 3 steps: (1) Launch an application. (2) Position the window of that application so that is not on top of the Nautilus window (3) Drag the folder from the Nautilus window into the other application's window. Even a new user, could easily discover the usefulness of this feature, due to intuitiveness of context menus, which always answer the question What can I do with this thing? And, any user who has previously discovered this, will prefer it in this exact use case scenario. Additional use cases this serves: - Open folder with k4dirstat, to see what within that folder is taking up the most space on your hard drive - Enqueue Folder into VLC to watch multiple music videos one after the other. Any application that can use a folder as a launching input benefits from this previously achieve (but now missing) feature. -- 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/1026254 Title: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1026254/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

@Jan: - let's not argue about usability, it's not my domain, I'm just relaying what I've read over the years (see e.g http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_menu#Usability) - the argument there it's not that it confuses new users, where did you get that? I wrote but a balance between too many options making the menu difficult to parse/use and having the useful options easily available. The point is that if you have 150 features in nautilus and you list them all in its context menu, then you end up with a menu with 150 items. That's a lot of information and it means it's getting very slow for anyone to find where the item they are looking for is. Sure that number is an exageration, but it's not always easy to provide all the feature while keeping an interface pleasant to use - the changes in nautilus are coming from GNOME, not from us, we are just providing the software and trying to respect those who write it, by not overwritting too much of their decision in the version we ship, while keeping our users happy ... that's not always an easy balance either -- 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/1026254 Title: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1026254/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1026254] Re: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back
@Sebastien I think all can intelligibly agree that the only reason a context menu could be considered non-intuitive is due to the fact that it often requires a right-click, instead of a left-click. The studies you reference do not address the idea of making a normal left-click produce context menus (which could be used in touch interfaces as well). In situations where the left-click produces the context-menu, even the newest users will find it incredibly intuitive. Right-click-context-menus, are a very small price in intuitiveness for the benefits of always being able to answer the question: What can I do with this thing? If I called the shots at Ubuntu, a lot more would be context-menu-driven. To address the non-intuitiveness of right-clicking. You could remind the new user each session (until they disable the notification) the following: If you don't know what something is, or what you can do with it: RIGHT- CLICK it Or, another idea is, by default, make *left-clicks* display context menus, and give advanced users the ability move that feature to the right-click menu. Now you have perfect intuitiveness right off the bat, and users can take off their training wheels at any point. This is huge idea for User Friendliness. One day someone is going to get this right. It just makes too much sense: Show me what I can do with what I'm clicking on. Its that simple. Every UI should keep this concept in mind during design and upgrade.

[Bug 1026254] Re: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back
I upgraded to the 14.04 alpha, and this regression-bug persists; you still cannot Open With on a folder in 14.04. I've been using Ubuntu exclusively since version 7.04. Around Ubuntu 12.10 I started noticing this regression. It is so convenient to use Open With on folders especially when they contain music or videos. I like being able to right-click on a folder and then open with VLC for example. Without this feature, I have open VLC, and then position its window in a manner that I can drag and drop the folder into VLC. I miss the days when I could just right-click the folder and then Open With VLC The same is true for music folders. 1) Right-Click the folder (containing music files) 2) Select Open With 3) Select your music application (Audacious in my case). Very handy!

[Bug 1026254] Re: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back
From the upstream commit: The only thing that handles this by default is nautilus. While the patch works, I don't think it works well enough with the Nautilus design. Right-clicking a folder shows four different Open buttons instead of two (screenshot attached). #1 and #3 do the same thing. #4 is useless if you don't have an alternate file browser installed (which the vast majority of users do not). Maybe a better place for this option would be: 1. Right-click on a file and select Properties. 2. Switch to the Open With tab. 3. Repeat by right-clicking on a folder instead. There is no Open With tab. However it's not clear whether it's Nautilus' responsibility to make it easy for users to switch to a third-party file browser by default. Why can't the alternative file browser handle this, similar to how web browsers offer to set themselves as default? ** Attachment added: nautilus-open-with-directory.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1026254/+attachment/3502988/+files/nautilus-open-with-directory.png -- 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/1026254 Title: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1026254/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
