Public bug reported: Dear Canonical,
Today I discovered that a recent update has removed the "full date modified" column in nautilus, and replaced it by the day and month of modification. A google search learned that this has indeed been removed. I'm guessing it's for no good reason, other than your determination to treat every desktop computer as a tablet. There seems to be a fix, that involves recompiling nautilus: http://askubuntu.com/questions/285493/how-to-show-full-date-and-time-in-nautilus-files-3-6-list-view - That must be a joke. I've had enough. When I started using Ubuntu 7 years ago, it was the best and most user- friendly distribution that had been created up until that point. A couple of release cycles later and I was recommending it to customers. You had the first linux distribution that was a viable replacement for windows in a business environment in your hands. Then you threw it all away. - You combined a wonderful graphical user experience, with all the power of command-line linux, then started replacing those command-line tools with crap like Network Manager, which took several release cycles to work properly. - You got yourself into a fight with the gnome people, because you wanted a desktop that looked and worked like an ipad. You took an excellent and stable graphical user interface and replaced it by Unity, a replacement that took 2 release cycles to work properly. Those business users who made the transition to Ubuntu were lining up to buy new copies of windows. Nautilus worked great. And suddenly, the directory tree dissapears. Not tablet-suitable, I guess ? No way of getting it back. Today, the modification date dissapears. Too many characters for a tablet screen ? No way of getting it back. I understand the desire to work profitably after all the time, energy and money that was invested in ubuntu. Your current path however, is not the way to go. Instead of trying to buy into the fad that Apple in actuality is, you should redirect your efforts to the original goal: making a linux desktop operating system that provides a painless transition from microsoft. If you want to put out a tablet version of ubuntu, that's great and it's what opensource is all about. Just don't do it at the expense of desktop users. It took Redhat many many years to turn a respectable profit. Maybe it's time you realised that nobody really likes Redhat. If you want profit, create an allround software environment that is suitable to businesses. My two cents. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248062 Title: canonicals vision is blurred To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1248062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
