** Description changed:
+ To Reproduce
+
0. Close all existing nautilus/file manager instances.
1. Plug in a usb device that has one or more mountable drives.
+ 2. Move the mouse over the launcher area
+ 3. Click on the USB icon at the bottom of the Launcher
- NOTE: Ubuntu automounts these drives (my device has two in this case),
- opens the drives in nautilus and adds them to the launcher, bringing the
- nautilus windows to the front (but see [Bug 887292] -- nautilus windows
- from newly opened usb drives don't appear in the menu, but are on the
- foreground).
+ What currently incorrectly happens:
+ - Ever time you click on the USB Launcher icon a new window is spawned!
- 2. Move the mouse over the launcher area.
- NOTE: There is now a media player icon for each usb drive that has been
- mounted, none of which have the glyph to indicate that there is an
- instance of this launcher program running. However, there are for the
- Files launcher (aligning with the number of usb drives connected in
- (1)).
+ ------------------------------------
- NOTE: This is confusing to me as Unity performed the jiggling icon
- animation for the two usb drives to indicate new items in the launcher
- and has the drives listed in the launcher. I would expect that these
- nautilus instances would be associated with their corresponding usb
- drive.
+ Desired solution:
- 3. Press the mouse button on one of the usb drives added in (1).
+ When the user clicks on the USB drive icon in the Launcher:
- NOTE: The files launcher now has an extra instance indicator (mine is at
- 3, from 2), while the usb drive still does not have any.
+ - If the USB drive window is in focus, nothing should happen. This is
irrespective of whether there are any other Nautilus windows open.
+ - If the USB drive window is not in focus, it should be brought into focus
+ - If the user middle clicks on the USB drive window, a second window
representing the USB drive should be created.
+ - If the USB drive window is in focus, and a second (or more) window(s)
representing the USB drive is open, clicking on the USB launcher icon should
trigger a spread of *just the USB* windows (excluding any Nautilus windows).
