[Desktop-packages] [Bug 40872] Re: Desktop icons are allowed to overlap
@TheMarquis Please also post a bug report on Gnome bugzilla, maybe if we are more and more, they might realize this is not a minor bug. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562594 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40872 Title: Desktop icons are allowed to overlap Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in nautilus-elementary: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have some icons with long file names.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 40872] Re: Desktop icons are allowed to overlap
While I realize this is an upstream issue, I can't believe there's not an Ubuntu patch even if upstream devs are unwilling to fix this. Still seeing this same old bug behavior on Oneiric 11.10 with gnome 3. The fact that this carried over from gnome 2.x.x shows a serious lack of attention to usablilty/polish. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40872 Title: Desktop icons are allowed to overlap Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in nautilus-elementary: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have some icons with long file names.

@Jim I propose to flood Gnome teams with this bug, as they don't read the Ubuntu input. The bug I've filed seems to be a duplicate of this one: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562594 What is completely surprizing is that only a few people wrote there, like people don't care about how easy they work with the computer. Please people, create accounts on Gnome bugzilla and write all the above comments there too! The Gnome team must know we care about usability and our computer-lives! ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #562594 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562594 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40872 Title: Desktop icons are allowed to overlap Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in nautilus-elementary: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have some icons with long file names.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 40872] Re: Desktop icons are allowed to overlap
Folks, here is my dos centavos, dva kopekie, two cents, or whatever. . . . Note: Distro used is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. 1. Allowing physical icons to overlap is just plain messy and un- professional. Most of the places I have worked for had a bug-rating from 1-4, 1 being hotter-than-hell and 4 being yea, alright already! However, they also had another bug level - 5 - which was reserved for bugs that - though maybe not hyper-critical - needed to be addressed ASAP because they made the company, or product, look silly, stupid, or maintained by the gorillas at the City Zoo. Things like misspelling the company's name, placing the Corporate Logo as a mirror-image, or on it's side. Or a ridiculously obvious GUI/usability issue that looks like the developer hadn't had his morning coffee yet. 2. My suggestions: (a) Create a default size, especially width, (X by Y), that icons must stay within. If an icon represents something that can have a preview, it should be scaled to fit the default icon space. If it's considered worth it, an icon with a preview can explode the preview to a larger, more easily seen size, upon mouse-over. Of course, the preview would be like a tool-tip/text box that can cover a portion of the desktop while the mouse is within it. (b) Allow a non-selected icon to show, at most, two lines of it's title with an ellipsis if it was truncated. (c) Force the icon label to fit in a space only slightly larger than the icon size itself (i.e. if the icon matrix is X by Y, than the icon label would have to fit within a X+2 width space, wrapping as necessary, and truncated to two lines if not selected. (d) Make the icon spacing a ***user-configurable setting*** (=== Hint! Hint!) as it is in Windows. (e) Create, adopt, and maintain some kind of User Interface and Usability standard that - once adopted - would become mandatory by consensus - in pretty much the same way that various distributions have rules for how bugs are created and reported, code modules interact, etc. etc. etc. These rules are necessary so that everyone is on the same page of the play-book. Can you imagine what it would be like if every software company out there could just arbitrarily decide how a CD/DVD should be formatted - or if an application developer just decided to write whatever the heck he wanted, willy-nilly all over the hard-drive platters - without regard to what someone else may have done before? This wouldn't be bazaar, it would be - literally - bizarre! Along with totally un-workable. Even in a bazaar, booths are laid out in an orderly way, each booth getting only so much space, so that all the vendors are easily accessible to the customers, without stepping on each-other's toes. (f) Find out whomever coded the desktop so that different icons could totally overlap and hide each other - hang 'em by their feet, and beat them senseless with a short bat. Hmmm. . . . You know? THAT might just be the User usability feedback method we've been looking for! Finally, developers would take us seriously. . . . (just kidding, but sometimes I am SO tempted.) Re: Copying Windows (slightly off topic) It appears that there is a small, but vocal, group that believes that Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora/SuSE/etc. should be as un-like Windows as possible - and they seem to want to be as much like the Mac as they can without being sued. And that's their right. However. I'd also like to see a desktop design started that would try to create the same look-and-feel as Windows - short of being sued - because (IMHO) that would greatly help the cross-over user become more relaxed with Linux. And I'd gladly join whatever maintainer group was created to develop this. What say ye?
