> actions depend of the context, "create a new directory" doesn't apply if a file is selected for example...
This is true in tight context. The red line is to have a choice or being restricted from it. For example in Firefox when I'd like to copy an url, I can select copy, move to a folder, decide that I need a new folder for it first, create a new folder and paste the url into it afterwards. The context menu doesn't restrict me to only copy and paste an url it offers parallel to create a new folder. Imagine to select a file and select copy, change your mind to create a folder first, you need to move the mouse somewhere else to get the appropriate context menu. Result, don't click on a file if you'd like to create a new folder, at least don't change your mind after selecting a file - computer restricts brain. > busy and confusing menu Thanks, it answers my question if too much context is confusing. > hit either the icon or the filename and that should be easy enough to do? True, I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it. The restriction remains. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912446 Title: Allow an independent context menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/912446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
