problem, and suggestions for desktop
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, Support office once have a case with a client abt many right-click entries in nautilus. I will paste here some information what is going and the suggestions from the client. Think it can help in improvement of our desktop. Drago Citations: ...gutsy system when I right click on a JPG file under nautilus I have three entries for GIMP, none of them work. When I launch GIMP from the main menu it works. How do I remove not working entries from the nautilus right click menu and how do I add one that works? I looked around based on your data on the machine with the strange menu and found out many gimp.desktop entries coming from various packages: gimp-2.2 leftovers, $HOME/.local leftovers as old as 2005, etc... :). I really wonder from where all the stuff in .local comes from: there are 72 .desktop files in there. Anyway, with all the information I'll probably manage to clean most of it. In the long run may be some reflection is needed on ubuntu policy for .desktop files and in particular on how to clean up leftovers. A tool to trace how a particular mime/desktop entry appears would also help for those needing a cleanup. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHN/cp+2HZqJ1WBs4RAilVAJwPJ38WUFQ4QsX3XiepVglcz+hjaACgp5KZ h9mdWPv+sWp66oFnH8UofDY= =FtlS -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

Panel resizing
One of the UI reviews of Ubuntu Gutsy specifically mentioned that the panel resizing was not good. And specifically that in the world of SVG icons it should be perfect. Having never resized my panels I set out to grab some screenshots: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/PanelResize One of the things that I think stands out is that the text in any of the applications stays the same. Should it change? Let me argue this from a couple different perspectives: -- Use Case -- The biggest use case that I can see for adjusting the size of the panel would be for people who have high DPI screens or a hard time seeing the panel. In those cases, it would make sense that if they can't see the icons, they can't read the text also. So as they adjust the panel size, they probably want the text to get bigger. -- Font size is DPI independent -- The font being used by these applets is the application font. Which in the appearances dialog is set to a point size. If these people really have a DPI issue, the font should adjust likewise automatically. What they really want at the end of the day is _all_ their fonts to get bigger, not just one on their panel. -- Not a bug, feature -- Some people might really want to have huge panels with small text. Perhaps they're trying to avoid a couple of bad lines at the top of their LCD screen by filling them with whitespace. I can't think of a good reason, but the status quo seems to always have some weight associated with it. What do people think about the text issue? Is text something that should change with panel size? --Ted signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

We discussed this at the ubuntu developer sumit and the plan is to add a tool that helps freeing up space. The current draft can be found under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyFullDiskHandling. Some initial code is available in the system-cleanup package/bzr tree.
