I created duplicate of this bug for Ubuntu 12.04 beta2: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982084
The only difference is that now "System Info" is called "Details". It really doesn't matter what you name it, "Default Applications" remains hard to find. Who would think to go to "System Info" OR "Details"? Everything is a detail, so why have an icon called details? Remember how GNOME 2 had the "System" menu? It then had two sub menus: (1) Preferences and (2) Administration. You had everything you needed in 3 steps. Plus, all the user-level options were in one spot, and the system-admin-wide stuff was in another. Everything doesn't need to be reinvented from scratch when you make something new; it seems like a lot of thought was put into GNOME 2 menu organization, and certain conceptual aspects of it should prevail into GNOME 3 and Unity. One unabridged-hierarchical-menu-system ought to be there long side the "GNOME DO" style quick launch features. Getting back on topic. Default applications can be a User Preference (to be enforced when a particular user logs in), or a System Wide setting (that administrators set to be the default when new users are added to the system). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/840402 Title: Default Applications does not belong in System Info(Oneiric)/Details(Precise) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/840402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
