[Bug 873788] Re: cannot change or set emblems
Well, the Ubuntu upgrade caused me to lose access to an important tool (apparently not because of a bug but on purpose, so all the worse) - so I think this is a good place to mention solutions. However XFE does not seem to have any way to modify metadata. And Dolphin has metadata but does not seem to support emblems. So not really alternatives. The best alternative I found is Thunar. Even transferring the Nautilus metadata (can query them with gvfs) to Thunar (can set them with tdbtool) is not too difficult. So if someone has the same problem and finds this bug report, two viable work-arounds are: - Stay with Nautilus and use a plugin like the one above until they restore the functionality. - Switch to Thunar. -- 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/873788 Title: cannot change or set emblems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/873788/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks Allefant. My problem with Nautilus was a little different, but I'll take a look at Thunar as well. -- 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/873788 Title: cannot change or set emblems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/873788/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

which is why some people (myself included) have opted to dump Nautilus and move to other file managers, such as xfe and dolphin. -- 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/873788 Title: cannot change or set emblems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/873788/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 873788] Re: cannot change or set emblems
It's not a bug, according to this source: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2010-July/msg00023.html Besides, background and emblems (especially emblems!) was a nice and very useful feature of Nautilus - and NOT quite old and crufty, not really useful, a legacy feature, as authors of Nautilus 3 may think. And the promise of We will keep to investigate a more powerful and up- to-date metadata/keyword integration for nautilus in the future anyway. - is not a good reason to broke things worked for years, anyway. -- 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/873788 Title: cannot change or set emblems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/873788/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
