Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity-place-files
Here's my use case:
I wanted to manage files in my Music folder (specifically, delete some
duplicate files). I understand that I have to navigate to the folder I
want and then click the 'open folder' icon on the right.
But I didn't have the Music folder in my zeitgeist history (nor my home
folder). So it didn't appear in my folder history or a search. I could
have opened some random folder and then navigate to Music. This works,
but is not intuitive.
Possible non-mutually-exclusive solutions:
1) Allow searching to include non-historical folders. As I understand it, this
would not be desired/technically difficult.
2) When searching and no results are found, perhaps suggest that it exists, but
just not in my history. (This is similar to bug 646511.) Additionally, offer
to popup a nautilus search for the term?
2) Always include the home directory in Favorites or something. That way, the
user can drill down for (I assume) 99% of similar use cases.
