Public bug reported: Release of Ubuntu: Raring, 13.04 Package Version: 3.6.3-0ubuntu5 Expected Results: Be able to create an empty file from the context menu Actual Results: There's not possible till I create manually an empty file in $HOME/Templates
There is no easy way to create 'new blank' files in Files, you can do it by creating a file in $HOME/Templates/new or by installing an extension: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/add-new-empty-file-entry-to- nautilus-36.html I don't think normal people will be interested in doing any of those procedures, exist a Gnome bug about it: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687139 But it's closed, so I'd like to see this fixed in Ubuntu at least, what about providing some default files so people using Ubuntu can create empty files since the first boot? ** Affects: nautilus Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: usability ** Tags added: usability ** Description changed: Release of Ubuntu: Raring, 13.04 Package Version: 3.6.3-0ubuntu5 Expected Results: Be able to create an empty file from the context menu Actual Results: There's not possible till I create manually an empty file in $HOME/Templates There is no easy way to create 'new blank' files in Files, you can do it by creating a file in $HOME/Templates/new or by installing an extension: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/add-new-empty-file-entry-to- nautilus-36.html - I don't think normal people will be interested in doing that, exist a - Gnome bug about it: + I don't think normal people will be interested in doing any of those + procedures, exist a Gnome bug about it: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687139 But it's closed, so I'd like to see this fixed in Ubuntu at least, what about providing some default files so people using Ubuntu can create empty files since the first boot? ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #687139 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687139 ** Also affects: nautilus via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687139 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- 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/1113648 Title: Add a context menu entry to create a new blank file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1113648/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
