I don't want to judge prematurely since I don't know the greater context, but on first glance this seems like the winner of the Window Operation Obfuscation Competition. It might make a bit of sense if this was done Gnome-wide, but if only in Nautilus I am afraid few people will get it.
I guess I have the most doubts about "clicking the close button in the file move dialog closes it, leaving the icon in the tray until the action is finished". I would _never_ click the window close button since I'd be afraid of canceling the copy. This might fly in a Mac world, since at least until OS9 (dunno about OSX) they had a quite consistent separation of window vs. application (though I think many people didn't get that either and consequently left applications running), but people used to Windows aver very much used to closing window == exit. -- [Hardy] "File operations" window always on top and unminimizable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
