Home icon on desktop should have number of items in it like folders
Last modified: 2012-09-19 19:27:42 UTC
The home icon on the desktop should have a %d items line under it like all the other icons on the desktop. * REPRODUCIBLE: Always * STEPS TO REPRODUCE: View the desktop. * ACTUAL RESULTS: Home icon appears with the words clahey's Home under it. * EXPECTED RESULTS: It should tell me the number of items in the home folder. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-04-23 12:42:45 ---- Good point. Something we overlooked. The properties window gets the correct properties for these link icons, but the icon text does not. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-04-24 09:40:08 ---- Making the icon text follow the link is non-trivial, but probably worth doing. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 21:18 ------- Bug blocks bug(s) 48136.
This is not really possible without some major code hacks, since right now it's just a .desktop file, that points at the directory, tempted to mark won't fix
Like for all special desktop directories, I think this isn't worth it as the user can not directly "manipulate" the contents of all of these directories ("trash" and "home" might be ok, but what about "computer" for instance?). I think 7 years later we can really close this one.
