Another practical example: Most of the time I expect that the default application to launch for SVG images is a light-weight image viewer such as EOG, but I also want the option to open them in Inkscape. Inkscape isn't on my launcher bar because I don't use it daily. Currently searching for recently accessed SVG iamges in Unity offers no way to actually access that file in the way I want. The same holds true for images as #3 notes.
#4: Dragging a file from the Dash to the Nautilus launcher just opens Nautilus in my home folder. It does not open the folder where the file is. Dragging image files to the Firefox launcher does open them in a Firefox tab. #6: Perhaps combine right-mouse or alt-clicking for mouse access, and hold-for-option for touch devices? I.e., when you click/touch the file icon, but don't release it for a set time, present the user with an "open with …" option. This seems like the proper (and expected) metaphor for interfaces that combine mouse and touch. A nice design might be to switch to a single-file centred view when the user holds down the mouse or touches long enough, and present the contents of the "open with …" menu there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667323 Title: "open with" missing in files lens To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/667323/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
