Public bug reported:
Not a bug, but usability.
Most of the time I use apt-get for package management.
Sometimes I use synaptic, especially when looking for packages, optional
installs, desccriptions, screenshots, etc.
I use the find dialog (Ctrl-F) very often.
The find dialog saves the last used value of "Look in:" between sessions.
This is an annoyance, causing irritation very often.
It would be much more usable if the "Look in:" field would be initialized to
"Description and Name" once, at program start.
** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- As an occasional synaptic user I want the "Find" dialog to default to "Look
in: Description and Name", to be less irritated when looking for packages and
apparently not finding them, then seeing that the dialog was set to "look in:
Provided Packages" last time I used the program.
+ As an occasional synaptic user I want the "Find" dialog to default to "Look
in: Description and Name", to be able to find a package I look for without
irritation.
