GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 587516
special folder bars should be possible to close
Last modified: 2019-04-17 07:08:35 UTC
When opening media (mounted share, usb drive, usb-camera) with audio-file and or photo's on them a dropdown appears in the nautilus screen. Annoying, this dropdown does not disappear and can't be closed. Especially bad on netbooks (1024x600). Not even a setting in gconf. And they DO take too much screen space, especially when more than one program is listed (music And images = 1 line for f-spot and 1 line for rhythmbox). There is no obvious way to remove the bar, how about on of the following: * An option in gconf. * A checkbox in the bar (don't show this) * An item in the help that tells me what directory names not to use to avoid those bars. Could you please tell me WHAT triggers those bars exactly? Is it a directory called dcim? is it files named p10*jpg, *.jpg, *.png, *.gif, img0*.jpg ? Is it files named *.mp3 *.flac *.ogg ? Other information:

Confirming. A close button on the bar would seem to be appropriate.
We only show one bar at a time now that should help a lot. Also, we've reduced the app chrome in order to better fit on small displays. I think that having the option to remove them will complicate things too much. We'd need to have a way to undo the action, have a way to bring them back, try to determine if they should always be hidden or just for that folder or just for that window or just for that session. I think we should just try to make them as unobtrusive as we can by default. Going to close this.

BUMP! Less useless notifications, please. All notifications should have the option to PERMANENTLY DISABLE THEM!!!
