Today, as often, I installed Ubuntu to a new Linux user, coming from Windows. Everything is great and well designed, intuitive, and quick ... then ... this lady began to feel confortable and wanted to quickly jump to the photo named "IMG232.jpg"; so she started to type "IMG" on her folder, containing hundred of photos and sub-folder and ... yeah, I suddently remembered WHY I gave up using this software a bunch of years ago. How to explain this to this lady ? After a while she understood that those files that dissapeared and appeared under her eyes wasn't a deletion, but a search result. How to know WITCH IMG232.jpg was the one of the **current** folder ? The folder of the bro's weeding ? She logically asked me how to change this default strange behavior and I logically said to her "oh yeah, I remember this is a way old story; this MUST be an option to disable this". And ... WT-holly-F ? No, no option at all :/
I **CAN'T BELIEVE** that after more than 5 years there's still NO option to DECIDE what should be the default behavior of the default browser. And when I see the ridiculous patch [1] this implies, I can't believe it even less. What would be the cost of an option in program's preferences ?! 1. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/368070783/nautilus-restore-typeahead-patch.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find Status in Nautilus: Expired Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: GNOME removed type-ahead find in Nautilus 3.6, not without controversy: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus- list/2012-August/msg00002.html Now when you type in a Nautilus window, Nautilus immediately performs a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories. I personally find this annoying. If I want to search, I'll click the search icon. Often I'm looking at a long directory listing and simply want to jump to a certain point in it, and type-ahead find works great for that. Would Ubuntu consider patching type-ahead find back in?
