Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
In Lucid and Maverick, when I open Nautilus, my unmounted partitions, as
well as attached devices like mp3 players, show up automatically in the
left pane. This makes Nautilus and means and paradigms by which I
accessed Nautilus the goto way for me to find something quickly prior to
Natty.
Today, after installing todays Natty updates, I click the panel button
and start looking in the springboard and overlays for a way to get to
Nautilus. First time, clicking "Find Files" opens Nautilus, but does not
show unmounted partitions or attached devices in the left pane. So
moving screenshots over to my Lucid partition quickly was not going to
happen.
The second time around, clicking "Find More Apps" revealed the
"Computer" shortcut. Guess what, that launched Nautilus, and this time
partitions and devices showed up in the left pane.
(For the record, in both cased, Nautilus crashed).
Whatever ways Natty would have me relearn how to launch Nautilus,
Nautilus should always have everything present every time, no matter how
I opened Nautilus.
Never mind that the relearning how to open Nautilus is in itself a
productivity killer and another whole design faux pas in itself. My
computer is not a smartphone, and therefore it is not as ~limited~ as a
smartphone. Failing to recognize that is about as far from revolutionary
as you can get, and yields change for the mere sake of being different.
Since Nautilus kept crashing today, I hope the missing "places" in the
left pane of Nautilus is just a temporary bug. If not, and it is on
purpose, then this is the kind of ~feature~ removal I expect from Gnome
developers, but not from Ubuntu developers.
